be removed and in from ten to fourteen days 

 after calving the treatments should be com- 

 menced and continued until the uterus is nor- 

 mal. Every cow that aborts should have uter- 

 ine treatments without a single exception and 

 then there would be a very small percent of 

 them that would be permanently sterile. 

 Quarantine. 



Every cow that aborts should be removed to a 

 separate quarantine stable and the stable should 

 be carefully and thoroughly disinfected. This 

 cow should be kept here and should be treated 

 weekly until the uterus appears normal and then 

 bred. In no case would it be well to breed her 

 before the expiration of two months. 

 Who Can Treat Sterility. 



This condition can only be treated intelligent- 

 ly and successfully by the careful, painstaking 

 veterinarian who has given a great deal of study 

 to this condition and should not be attempted by 

 anyone else, as there are several pitfalls into 

 which the empiric will fall that would be worse 

 than sterility as they would many times result in 

 the death of the animal.
