Diseases of cattle, sheep, goats Diseases of cattle, sheep, goats and swine diseasesofcattl00mous Year: 1905 Fig. 16.—Condylomata of the interdigital space and sidebones, abnormal vegetations, flatten, excoriate, and irritate them, thus favouring their further development. The symptoms are easy to detect. The animals appear in perfect health, but have difficulty in walking, and show pain. They walk as though on sharp, rough ground, and lameness is sometimes severe. Locally, the anterior surface of the claws and the interdigital _ space are markedly congested and sensitive, or painful on pressure. The growths are of varying size, isolated or confluent, bleeding, excoriated, or covered with horn, and are visible between the claws when the animal stands on the limb. In many cases they form a perfect cast of the vertical interspace. When the superficial layers have undergone conversion into a horn-like material, lameness diminishes or disappears. Diagnosis presents no difficulty. Prognosis is only grave in so far as the condition interferes with animals working, but it may render working oxen entirely useless. Treatment in the early stages is of a preventive character, and consists in placing animals which have been accidentally injured or attacked with foot-and-mouth disease on a perfectly clean bed.
