These disturbances of the breathing tubes are in causes, 

 symptoms and treatment essentially the same in cattle as in 

 horses. (See pages 102, 105). 



Cattle are, however, peculiarly subject in some localities 

 to a stoppage of the nostrils by an abundant, thick secretion, 

 and by the swelling of the lining membrane. This forces 

 them to breathe with some difficulty ; they emit a snorting 

 or snoring sound, from which the disease is locally termed 

 the "snores" or the "snivels." 



On examination, there is occasionally found a swelling in- 

 side the nostril, which nearly fills the passage, and later bursts 

 and forms an abscess. When this breaks the animal is re- 

 lieved.
