Bloody or stringy milk are both due to a derangement of the system, and the treatment consists of giving Cow Tonic as directed, which will alter the condition of the blood to such an extent as to overcome this ailment. Give good, clean, nutritious feed—mashes made of flaxseed tea. See Prescription No. 52, page 147. NAVEL DISEASE OF CALVES. Navel Disease in calves is a germ disease that affects the navel cord, and takes place oftentimes at birth, due to the parts becoming infected by germs which not only cause the navel to become sore and inflamed, but they enter the body at this point and cause a swelling of the joints; this results in lameness and a gathering of matter or pus, at the same time causing a lack of ambition, dull, sickly appearance, indigestion and scours, and unless proper treatment is promptly given the disease will cause a sloughing of the joints or death by scours.
