140 THE COW IN HEALTH AND DISEASE 



this condition sometimes bloats badly and in this 

 case should be tapped. It is better still to pre- 

 vent bloat by keeping her propped up on her 

 breast until she regains consciousness. 



After the cow is on her feet she should have 

 water but no feed for the first ten or twelve 

 hours ; at the end of this time she may be milked. 

 No other treatment is necessary. If, however, 

 the cow does not regain her feet within four or 

 five hours inflate the udder as before.
