It is due to this disease that infectious abortion is spread. See Prescription No. 36, page 146. GRASS STAGGERS. Grass Staggers is a disease brought on by overloading the stomach with grass. As soon as the stomach becomes overloaded, indigestion sets in, which interferes with the brain, causing the animal to walk with an unnatural and unsteady gait, usually walking in a circle, and oftentimes staggering and falling. If they do so and they are filled with gas they should be tapped with a cattle trocar to prevent death from smothering.
