236 THE VETERINARY DOCTOR. 
TREATMENT.—Give belladonna every two or three hours. Opium 
may be serviceable if there be stupor and hard, heavy breathing. Keep 
the animal in a large stable where there is little chance for it to injure itself. 
For full directions, consult all that is said on Convulsions in the Horse. 
GIDDINESS.—DIZZINESS. 
This occurs more frequently in draught-oxen, and is caused by hard 
labor in a hot sun, or a tight, ill-fitting or squeezing yoke. 
Symptoms.—Tottering and falling, the animal lying outstretched 
and motionless. It may be easily distinguished from Convulsions, for in 
.the latter there are violent convulsive movements. For full particulars, 
consult the appropriate article on the Horse as given in Part I.
