Causes. — This is frequently the result of neglect by 
allowing the animal to remain in a cold place. It is much 
more common among young cattle than among horses. 
Treatment. — Bathe with cold water, and apply the white

time this will save the ear from dropping off. Should it 
become ''dead" and drop off, treat in the same manner until 
it heals. If noticed at the time it is frozen, apply snow to it. 
This counteracts the effect of the frost.
