Diseases of cattle, sheep, goats Diseases of cattle, sheep, goats and swine diseasesofcattle00mous Year: 1920 CCENUROSIS (GID, STURDY, TURN-SICK). 473 only, or still less marked signs. Everything depends on the degree of development of the cysts. Bovine Animals. CcienuroBis in oxen is less important than in sheep. Moreover, it very rarely affects a large number of young animals belonging to one farm. Loss of appetite, dulness and depression are the earliest indications, as in sheep. The gaze seems fixed, the neck is held stifiliy and almost rigidly, the animal shows a tendency to vertigo, pushes its head against a wall, or leans the head or neck on the manger or trough. Inequality in the size of the pupils, amaurosis, hesitating and inco- ordinated movements may also be seen developed in different degrees. The animals have the appearance of horses suffering from ' iininohiUtc '— that is, the very peculiar general condition produced by dropsy of the brain ventricles, or from encephalitis. They forget to eat or do not attempt to chew unless handfuls of food are thrust between the molars; they plunge the muzzle into a bucketful of water and do not drink, etc. They take little notice of what passes around them, although they may become greatly excited if an attempt is made to move them, to give them medicine from a bottle, or to set them at liberty, etc. Such attacks of excitement often end in vertigo and in the animals falling to the ground and showing epileptiform movements. All these symj)- toms may occur with extraordinary variations, due in reality to the peculiar position which the coenurus occupies. Second phase. If set at liberty during the first phase of the disease, the animal's gait appears only slightly disordered, but when a single vesicle has become well developed in one of the hemispheres (and this is usually the case with oxen), the symptoms of turn-sick appear as in sheep, and are equally varied. The patients seem impelled to move in a given directi
