(Contributed by Ontario Department of A{;rlcunur«, Toronto.) M PACTION of tho rumen or I'aunch is one of tlie most com- mon (llseaso of the stomach of the ox. It Is a patliological con- dition somewhat similar to tympan- itis or bloating, hnt .llffeiing in llie urgency of its symptoms and method of treatment. It dopend.s upon tho introduction into the organ of solid matters to such an amount as to par- tially or wholly paralyze the muscles by over-distension. Some food.s, as grain, chaff or po- tatoes, appear more lialilu than oth- ers to cau.se tlie di.sordcr, but uny- lliing particularly palatable to the animal may be consumed in such quantities if opportunity presents it- self. Sudden changes of food, espe- cially if the change be to a food par- ticularly palatable to the animal; over feeding on grain without allow- ing the animal to tnkc exercise; Indi- gestible food, as over-ripo hay; food of poor quality, even if con.suined In only moderate qiiantilies, may cause the trouble. The animal continuing to eat, but not ruminating sufficient- ly, the amount of ingcsia gradually incrcase.-i In tho rumen. VVc frequent- ly notice a caso v?ithout appreciable cause. Symptoms. â€" The animal becomes (lull and .suffers pain, often expres.sed by .stamping tho feet, striking at the abdomen with the hind feet, switch- ing tho tail, etc. Uospirations usually accelerated, appetite lost and rumin- ation su.spended. Bowels usually cos- tive, abdomen enlarged, especially on left side, but tlii.s does not occui' as quickly as In tympanitis, neither is it of tho same nature. When tapped between the point of the left hip and the last rib, a dull sound is produced; and when pressed it has a doughy feel, and tlie imprints of the fingers do not disappear quiclcly â€" It 'pits on prts.sure." Tliere is often a grunt during expiration, especially when the animal is lying. In tlio later stages tympanitis may appear as a complic.ition. In mild cases the patient appears to have periods of ease and expresses a desire for food. If food be allowed 1)0 will eat a variable quantity with appar.mt relish, but the symptoms of llli!e.ss soon become more marlted tluin before. Treatment must be directed to the removal of some or the Impacted iiKiKii of food and tho restoration to activity to the over-distended wall of tlio organ. When the distension i.i not exce.ssive, tho administration >.l a brisk purgative, as 2 lbs. VJpsom .salts, i/^ oz. gamboge ami 2 oz. gin- ger in about 1 »^ quarts of warm water given as a drench will usuall • Hive nood results. This la a fair (l(j.s'e for an ordina.-y seized cow. tlio doso lur smaller or larger aniumls shoul'l lie more or less, according to the size of the animal. Follow this up wiO) 2 drams of nus vomica every six or aovon hours, allow no solids to eat until fre(^ purgation is estab- lished. If purgation has not com- menced in twenty-four to thirty-six hours give 1% pints raw linseed oil, and this alternated every twelve hours with 1 lb. Epsom salts and 1 oz. ginger, until free purgation is established. If a desire for food be expre.ssed a liitlo bran mash iiiav be allowed. Allow all the water the |)a- tient will drink. In the meantime ke(^I) up the administration of nux vomica until pugation commences, f If tile disease Is not yielding to treatment aUer tho second day, some- thing must be given to eustaiu strength. For this purpose give buil- (^d Uax seed in quart doses nve or .sL\ times daiU' (an a drench). In cases where tho early 8vmpt(,iii3 are extreme, an operation by a vet- erinarian is necessary. Wliat Is commonly called "grai- siok" is simply impaction of ihj nuuen witli grain. When an animal has liad the op- portunity of eating excessive qiian- lities of grain, tlie usual eustom of sluittlng in tho stable, allowing mnb- ing to eat or drink, and awaiting developnienks, is absurd. TIk^ owner or attendant should antloipute trou- ble by at once administering a brisk purgative, as for ordinary impaelion Allow nothing to eat, Ihh allow ail tiie water he will drink, in small quantities and often, in hope tliat puigalioii will commence before dis- tress appears. Of course, in ca.ses of "grain sick" where the early symptoms are utvcie an operation called ••rumenoio;.,v," wliich consists In cutting into ihe nimeu and removing some of its con- tents by hand, should be performed by a veterinarian. â€" J.
