DISEASES OF CATTLE. in the milch cow. Consumption in cows is usually exhibited in the tuber- cular form. These tubercles are from the size of a pin head to that of a hickory nut, flattened, oval, and round, and are not confined to the lungs, but are seen underneath the pleura costalis lining the ribs—over the diaphragm, peritoneum, and the omentum or caul. Causes. This is considered one of the hereditary diseases of cattle, or rather milch cows. As is elsewhere stated in regard to hereditary dis- ease—in the first part of this book—it does not necessarily follow that a cow should be consumptive, because its mother was so. No. But rather because it has inherited the great milking qualities of its ancestors, whereby the animal is reduced in flesh, condition and vitality, the fibrous, serous tissue of the body becoming deteriorated—hence the foundation for tubercular consumption. Cows of some breeds are not selfish, for the more they aie fed, the more milk will they give. These are all the claims which can justly be made in favor of the hereditary cause of con- sumption in cows. Symptoms. Thin of flesh, unthrifty; a staring coat or hair, long and dead-looking; a low husky cough, loss of appetite, weakness and a bloodless condition of the whole system, which is readily known by the pale, white look of the lining of the eyes, nose, and mouth. The consumptive cow stands with her back arched, and her fore legs turned out at the elbows, and when lying rests on the belly and breast bone. The milk of such cows is thin, blue, and watery. Previous to the death of a consumptive cow, diarrhoea, dysentery, discharges from tlie nose and eyes, accompanied with hectic, or sympa- thetic fever, conclude the symptoms of this lingering, but fatal disease. Treatment. In the early stage of consumption in cows
