Bladder diseases in cattle generally are the result of irritant matters in the. urine, and of calculi or stone in the bladder. Symptoms.

Carefully examine the distended bag, its shape and size. Having determined that it is the urinary bladder, carefully cleanse it, if dirty, and pass the hand, previously oiled, along its surface, ascertaining which way the turn or twist is made. Having satisfactorily known this, take the bladder by the other hand and reverse the turn or twist, and then carefully push the blad
