MILK FEVER. 



Milk fever almost alw^ays occurs, after the fourth calv 

 ing, in cows that are highly fed, and are good milkers ; it 

 usually appears within three days after calving, rarely after 

 the third day. Milk fever consists in inflammation of the 

 womb, which sometimes even extends to the bowels. If the 

 animal does not receive proper care and treatment, this dis- 

 ease will undoubtedly prove fatal, as fully one-half of those 

 attacked die. Do not confound milk fever with inflamma- 

 tion of the udder, as the diseases are vastly different. 



CAUSES : — Over feeding before and immediately aft- 

 er calving ; causing an undue deterioration of the blood to 

 ihe womb. It is also caused from sudden changes of the 

 weather at the time of calving.
