LATIMER HE ONE PRICE STORE EN PARTURIENT PAxEStS Disease More Commonly Knows as Milk Fever. Symptoms Described and Treatment Suggested -- Nothing Should Be Administered by the Mouth-- How to Treat the Udder and Teats. i (Contributed by Ontario Department of Agriculture, Toronto.) ARTURIENT PARESIS, monly, but improperly, called "milk fever" is a disease peculiar to breeding cows, and, as the name implies, appears at or near the time of parturition. In rare cases the symptoms have been - noticed shortly before the appearances of labor pains, in some cases during the act of parturition, but in most cases not for a few hours or days after the young has been born. The exact cause and na- ture of the trouble, and the manner in which treatment acts, are still in comparative obscurity. x We know that it appears only in milch cows, and at or sbout the per- iod of parturition, that it has never been noticed at or following the birth of the first calf, and very rare- ly the second; that cows that are heavy milkers or in gross condition, or both, are particularly: susceptible, but it is occasionally met with in 2 poor milker or an animal in low condtion. Symptoms.--Shortly before, at, or in a variable time (say a few hours to three days) after parturition, the cows becomes uneasy, neglects her calf, stamps her feet, whisks her tail, and the eyes have a glassy appear- ance. She sways, has not proper con- trol of her limbs, lies or falls down, may or may not be able to rise, goes down again. This may occur a few times, until she becomes: unable to rise. She usually assumes one of two positions: liesseither on her side with limbs and head outstretched, or on her sternum, with the head thrown backwards and the muzzle resting on the flank. There are few cases in which either one or the other of these positions are not observed. The temperature is subnormal in all un- complicated cases, hence the term "milk fever' is not correct. More or less well marked coma is noted. In many cases she is apparently dead. except that breathing can be noticed, in many" cases a sonorous breathing. She is insensible to curroundings and insensitive to pain. In some cases the development of the symp- toms is very quick, while in others slow, and in some cases the extreme symptoms are not noticed. She may retain a degree of power of acticen and sensation. Treatment.--It has been demon- strated that a full udder tends to pre- vent the disease. Hence it is good practice to allow the calf to remain with the dam for at least three days, as it will nurse frequently and a lit- tle at a time, never leaving the udder without considerable milk. When for any. reason this cannot be done, the milker should simulate nature as V = : . . 2 near as possible, by milking frequent- ly, but very little at a time for three days. It is also good practice to re- duce the amimal's milk producing. food for a few days before parturi, tion is expected. Curative Treatment.--We wish to particularly emphasize the fact that on no account; and under no circum- stances, should any attempt be made t6 administer anything whatever by the mouth. Even in the very early ntages of -the disease, loses the power to swallow; hence, if fluids be introduced into the mouth some of it will almost surely pass down the windpipe and cause death by suffecation in a few min- utes, or set up mechanical bronchitis, which will probably cause death in a few days. We have stated. that "a full udder tends to prevent," now we say that "a distended udder tends to cure." Infiation with oxygen gas or sterilized air is easier and less liable to cause complications than disten- sion with fluids. The use of gas de: 'mands the possession of a tank of compressed pure oxygen gas, and special apparatus. Outfits for infiat- 'ing with sterilized air can be pur- chased from dealers in veterinary in- struments for from $2 to $3, and where neither can be obtained. an ordinary bicycle pump with a teat syphon attached may be used, but complications from the introduction than when gas or sterilized air is used. The udder and teats muét be thor- oughly washed with aw» antiseptic such as a 5 per cent. solution of one of the coal tar antiseptics, the hands of the operator and the instruments also sterilized. All milk is drawn off, as its presence interferes more or less with inflation. ~The syphon is introduced into a teat, and all the gas or air that the quarter will hold is forced in, and the teat then tied tightly with tape to prevent escape of it. Each quarter is inflated and the teat tied. The udder is then well massaged every hour until the cow rises to her feet, which is usually in from one half to two hours. The tapes should be removed in at most two hours. If not on her feet in at most six hours the udder should be re<inflated. She should be given some easily digested food, or a rea- sonable amount of her usual food, and all the water she will take. If the weather be cold, the chill should be removed from the water and the cow kept as comfortable as possible. i She should not be milked at all for 24 hours after inflation, and for the second twenty-four hours she should be milked frequently, but very little ! drawn at a time. Forty-eight hours after inflation she should be milked { and attended to in the ordinary man- ner.--Dr. J. H. Reed, O. H. A. Col- lege, Guelph. : .
