Test first with plain water the ability to swallow easily. The most recent and successful treatment is injection of potassium iodide solution into the udder through the teats. This is known as Schmidt's «/- FIG. 71. PARTURIENT PARALYSIS. Cow very stupid. Skin has lost sensation. Head in the flank. Still later stage. Schmidt's Treatment is directed to the local seat of trouble; i. the gland cells and milk ducts, and may be used in connection with the preceding. About 2y2 drams iodide of potash are dissolved in one quart of boiled water. One-fourth of this is injected by means of a syringe or by means of rubber tubing and a milk tube through each teat into the udder. Each quarter is thoroughly milked out just before the injection is made. The solution should be injected at about 105-8 F., and left in the udder. It should be borne in mind that the solution cools several degrees during injection. The temperature should not be guessed at. It can be determined ac- curately by means of a dairy thermometer. Treatment may be repeated in 12 or 24 hours if needed, cow Digitized by Microsoft®.
