CATTLE, 149 



CHINE FELON. 



A rheumatic affection of the loins. (See Rheumatism, 

 page 152.) 



Elliman's is the cure for it. 



CHOKING. 



The symptoms are easily recognised by those in attendance 

 on cattle. 



Treatment. — Drench with a little linseed-oil and feel for any 

 enlargement on the outside. Sometimes this can be seen and 

 felt and the obstruction made to move on, with judicious 

 manipulation in an upward direction. Failure to move it, 

 from whatever cause, resort must be had to the probang or 

 choke-rope. A little more oil should prepare the way, and as 

 soon as the instrument comes in contact with the obstruction it 

 should be pushed down without stopping, if it can be induced to 

 move at all. 



The treatment afterwards is to rub the skin with Elliman's 

 as near to the part lately strained by the obstruction, as possible. ' 

 Inflammation will be thus prevented or relieved. 



Prevention consists in having a good root-cutter and using 

 it: and not giving apples unless crushed or put through the 

 cutter, like mangles and swedes. 



^^CLUE BOUND/' 



Fardal bound, fog-sickness and staggers are names which 

 all indicate the same condition -of obstruction in the digestive 

 canal. 



Causes. — Too much dry food, eating woody innutritions stuff. 

 Stalled cattle having much cotton cake and chaff, and no 

 exercise, are prone to it in the winter months. 



Treatment. — A violent purge should not be given, but the 

 contents softened throughout by repeated doses of linseed-oil or 

 oil alternated with treacle.
