AILING  ANIMALS 
Answered  by  Dr.  A.  S.  Alexander 
Blind  Staggers 
I  have  a  horse  subject  to  what  they  call 
blind  staggers.  I  gave  him  saltpeter  for 
his  blood,  but  he  still  acts  the  same. 
New  Jersey.  j.  d. 
So-called  blind  staggers  or  “megrims” 
often  is  caused  by  indigestion  from  over¬ 
feeding,  unsuitable  feed  and  lack  of  work 
or  exercise.  When  that  is  the  case  it 
may  usually  be  remedied  by  removing  the 
cause.  In  some  instances,  however,  dis¬ 
ease  of  the  brain  or  heart  is  present,  and 
there  is  no  certain  remedy  for  such  ail¬ 
ments.  Try  the  effects  of  the  following 
method  of  treatment :  Allow  the  horse  a 
roomy  box  stall  when  in  the  stable,  but 
never  let  him  stand  for  a  single  day  with¬ 
out  working  or  taking  active  outdoor 
exercise.  If  you  cannot  supply  a  box 
stall  perhaps  you  could  turn  him  loose 
in  a  shed  when  not  at  work  and  when 
the  weather  is  too  inclement  to  allow  of 
outdoor  exercise.  Work  him  in  a  strong 
breast  collar  rather  than  a  neck  collar. 
When  a  horse  that  has  a  short  neck  and 
thick  throatlatch  pulls  uphill,  or  the  load 
is  so  heavy  that  he  has  to  get  his  head  low 
to  pull  it,  mechanical  choking  occurs,  and 
may  induct  staggers  or  loud  roaring.  An 
overhead  check  may  help  in  such  cases  if 
a  neck  collar  will  not  suffice  for  the  horse 
when  at  work.  Do  not  feed  over  1  lb. 
of  a  mixture  of  eight  parts  of  crushed  or 
whole  oats  and  one  part  of  wheat  bran 
by  weight  for  each  100  lbs.  of  body 
weight  as  a  day’s  ration,  in  three  feeds. 
Give  most  of  the  hay  at  night,  a  little  of 
it  in  the  morning,  and  not  more  than  1 
or  2  lhs.  while  the  horse  is  cooling  off  at 
noon,  before  allowing  much  cold  water  or 
the  grain  feed.  Some  ear  corn  may  be 
added  in  cold  weather,  and  carrots  would 
be  beneficial.  The  amount  of  hay  to  be 
fed  daily  is  the  same  as  for  grain  mix¬ 
ture  ;  but  it  may  be  slightly  increased 
when  the  horse  is  idle,  and  at  such  times 
the  grain  ration  should  be  entirely  with¬ 
held.  Bright  oat  straw  and  corn  stover 
may  be  allowed  in  addition  to  hay  when 
the  horse  is  not  working.  Allow  free 
access  to  rock  salt  and  at  all  times  keep 
the  bowels  active.  Immediately  after 
each  attack  give  the  horse  a  pint  or  more 
of  raw  linseed  oil  to  clear  his  bowels. 
At  the  time  of  attack,  when  severe,  half 
an  ounce  of  bromide  of  potash  in  water 
may  give  relief,  and  if  necessary  may  he 
repeated  in  half  an  hour.  Uusually  a 
pailful  of  cold  water  dashed  upon  a  faint¬ 
ing  horse  quickly  dispels  the  attack. 
Difficult  Breathing 
I  have  a  cow  that  has  not  eaten  for 
three  days.  I  have  tried  home  remedies, 
but  have  failed  to  cure.  The  cow  breathes 
very  heavily,  aud  once  in  a  while  she 
seems  to  belch  up  gas.  I  have  been  feed¬ 
ing  the  proper  feed  to  her,  so  hardly 
know  what  to  do  next.  w.  G. 
New  Jersey. 
Acute  indigestion  usually  is  present 
when  a  cow  shows  the  symptoms  de¬ 
scribed,  and  is  likely  to  prove  fatal  un¬ 
less  immediately  relieved.  For  that  rea¬ 
son  it  always  is  wise  instantly  to  employ 
a  veterinarian  to  determine  what  is 
wrong  and  prescribe  or  give  appropriate 
treatment.  The  belching  is  suggestive  of 
indigestion,  as  that  disease  causes  fer¬ 
mentation  and  -  formation  of  gas.  The 
difficulty  in  breathing  in  such  cases  is 
due  to  pressure  of  the  distended  stomach 
upon  the  diaphragm  and  lungs.  Grunting 
is  a  common  symptom  in  acute  indiges¬ 
tion  and  also  in  impaction  or  stoppage 
of  the  paunch  with  feed.  In  the  latter 
ailment  or  condition  the  backbone  also 
appears  to  be  slightly  bent  or  twisted 
to  the  left.  Grunting  is  also  a  symptom 
of  pneumonia,  as  is  labored  breathing 
and  coughing.  In  the  case  in  question  it 
is  quite  possible  that  pneumonia  ‘and  not 
indigestion  was  present,  or  it  may  be 
that  the  entire  train  of  symptoms  was 
caused  by  a  swallowed  wire,  nail  or  other 
sharp  object  which  penetrated  the  wall 
of  the  second  stomach,  the  diaphragm  and 
sac  of  the  heart  causing  the  disease 
termed  traumatic  or  accidental  pericardi¬ 
tis.  There  is  no  successful  method  of 
treating  the  latter  disease.  It  is  possible 
to  open  the  paunch  and  through  it  re¬ 
move  the  foreign  body  by  hand,  but  the 
operation  usually  is  done  too  late  to  save 
life.  Pneumonia  also  tends  to  prove 
fatal  unless  immediately  treated  by  ad¬ 
ministration  of  stimulants,  such  as  sul¬ 
phuric  or  nitrous  ether  or  aromatic  spir¬ 
its  of  ammonia  or  other  drugs,  such  as 
nitrate  of  potash,  fluid  extracts  of  bella¬ 
donna  and  gentian  and  other  medicines 
that  the  veterinarian  may  deem  indicated. 
Mustard,  liniments  or  wet  packs  may  also 
be  applied  to  the  chest.  In  acute  indiges¬ 
tion,  when  not  due  to  a  swallowed  object, 
tapping  the  paunch  may  be  necessary  to 
relieve  bloat,  or  the  paunch  may  have  to 
be  opened  when  impactation  is  present. 
Ordinarily  one  gets  good  results  from 
the  administration  of  two  ounces  of  pure 
turpentine  and  two  ounces  of  aromatic 
spirits  of  ammonia  in  a  quart  of  new 
milk,  to  be  followed  later  by  a  pint  to  a 
quart  of  raw  linseed  oil.  Appetite  re¬ 
turns  wh  u  the  acute  symptoms  abate.
