Ailing Animals 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Bitter Milk 
I have n cow that gives bitter milk. 
Thinking it may be caused by weeds, I 
tied her so as to get nothing but clover, 
yet the milk is bitter. She gets nothing 
but grass. What might be the cause? 
Pennsylvania. J. A. K. 
Bacteria in the milk or utensils may 
he the cause of the bitterness and for 
that reason you should carefully cleanse, 
scald and sun-dry the vessels. Also set 
a sample of milk from each quarter of 
the udder in separate sterilized vessels 
to determine if all of the quarters give 
normal milk. One quarter may be giving 
gargety milk, and if so that would be 
likely to affect all of the milk. On gen¬ 
eral principles we should advise you to 
give the cow a pound dose of Glauber 
salts dissolved iu three pints of warm 
water, adding a cupful of blackstrap 
molasses. Administer this very slowly 
and carefully from a long-nocked bottle. 
When it has acted mix in the feed twice 
daily a tablespoonful each of powdered 
wood charcoal and granular hyposulphite 
of soda. If the trouble persists keep the 
cow off grass and feed meals and good 
hay. 
Pink Eye 
I have a heifer two years old. She 
is out to pasture each day where there 
is considerable brush and bushes. Two 
days ago her right eye was shut. Exam¬ 
ination today shows in the center of eye, 
apparently about where the pupil should 
be.- a white circular spot about one-eighth 
inch diameter. Concentric with this is a 
larger circular spot about one-fourth inch 
diameter, not quite so white, and outside 
of this a slightly milky look to eye lens. 
Blood vessels of eyeball appeared some¬ 
what enlarged or congested. i. a. n. 
Connecticut. 
While an injury may have caused the 
condition described, it is much more 
likely that pink eye (enzootic keratitis) 
is present. Isolate the cow in a darkened 
stable. Every two or three hours put a 
drop of 25 per ceut argyrol solution be¬ 
tween the eyelids until discharge sub¬ 
sides; then put a little hit of one per cent 
yellow oxide of mercury ointment be¬ 
tween the lids once daily, close them and 
massage gently to spread the salve. Bath¬ 
ing the eye with a saturated solution of 
boric acid is helpful treatment in mild 
cases. In all such attacks it is best to 
employ a trained veterinarian. The dis¬ 
ease is contagious and quickly spreads to 
other cattle. 
Abscess 
T have a mare with a large swelling on 
withers which interferes with collar. It 
has been there six or seven weeks. Am 
at a loss to account for this swelling, as 
the mare has not worked since .Tune 1, 
1020. w. J. s. 
Virginia. 
Bruising causes such a condition. It 
may be done when a horse rolls, or re¬ 
sults from striking a low branch or beam. 
In some instances we have known it to 
result from biting by a stallion. If pus 
is present it should be liberated. That 
may he determined by handling the part, 
which will feel soft at one point where 
the skin has become thin and fluid is 
evidently seeking vent. If cutting is 
necessary it should lay open each pipe 
and pocket to insure free drainage. All 
dead or diseased tissue, especially carti¬ 
lage, should also ho cut out. Then swab 
with tincture of iodin and pack into the 
cavity a rope of oakum saturated with a 
mixture of equal quantities of raw lin¬ 
seed oil and pure turpentine. Lot a tag 
of the oakum hang out of the wound to 
serve as a drain. Apply lard or vaseline 
freely to the sound skin below the wound. 
Renew the dressing once daily. If the 
lump is not soft keep it covered with cot¬ 
ton waste saturated with strong alum 
water, or with a solution of an ounce of 
sugar of lead and one gallon of soft, 
water. The latter solution is poisonous. 
Tumor 
, T have a Jersey heifer with first calf, 
and for the past week she has a lump on 
her right shoulder near her spine. It is 
about the size of a man’s head, and T 
have rubbed it with liniment, hut it does 
not seem to help it. I have now cut the 
hair away, and am putting iodine on it. 
You can move it with the hand., and 
there does not seem to be any pus in it. 
It is not. painful. What is it, and what 
can I do to take it away? w. b. c. 
Connecticut. 
If the swelling does not contain pus it 
is a tumor, and should he dissected out 
by a veterinarian or left strictly alone, 
lii some cases of this sort the tumor has 
returned worse than ever after removal 
and accompanied by many more small 
tumors. When that happens the tumor is 
cancerous (carcinoma) and the small 
tumors are termed metastatic. They may 
also form internally. There is no cure 
for the cancerous condition. If you can 
employ a graduate veterinarian he may 
he able to determine the exact nature of 
the swelling, hut it is impossible for one 
at a distance to do so. The applications 
of tincture of iodine may be continued 
until the examination has been made.
