There have lately come into vogue “Milk Fever Outfits” by means of which
the udder is filled with sterilized air. While there can be no objection
to this treatment either alone or in conjunction with the A.A. In our
experience the A.A. alone is quite sufficient.
Abortion
Abortion or premature birth may occur from three different causes:
1—ACCIDENTAL ABORTION.—Caused by a blow; strain; slipping on a wet
floor, over-strain from pulling a heavy load, etc.
2—ENZOOTIC ABORTION.—Due to some infectious disease of the mother.
3—CONTAGIOUS ABORTION.—A distinct disease which causes the death and
expulsion of the fetus or its expulsion in a feeble state prior to the
normal period.
SYMPTOMS OF THREATENED ABORTION.—In the first three months of pregnancy,
the appearance of a bloody, watery or mucous discharge from the vagina.
In the later months, uneasiness, swelling, heat and tenderness about the
udder; secretion of milk; and straining as if in labor.
TREATMENT OF THREATENED ABORTION.—Give fifteen drops of G.G., every six
hours, and the dose may be repeated two or three or more times should
the threatening symptoms continue after the first or even the second
dose has expended its action.
This interval should elapse between doses, as too rapid ones may even
defeat the object, by over-excitement of the system, while a single dose
often arrests an abortion if permitted to expand its action.
After a cow has actually aborted, it is almost impossible to tell
whether it occurred from contagious abortion or from some other cause,
so the safe thing to do is to act as if it had been contagious abortion.
TREATMENT OF CONTAGIOUS ABORTION.—The fetus and membranes should be
burned. The premises occupied by the sick animal should be disinfected
as follows: Remove all bedding and dirt possible and spray all available
parts of barn with 3% formalin or 5% carbolic acid solution. Apply white
wash containing 1 lb. chloride of lime to 3 gallons of whitewash,
scatter quicklime on floor and gutters.
The animal which has aborted should receive daily a vaginal irrigation
of two gallons of warm water containing 2% lysol until the vaginal
discharge stops. The external parts about the vagina, including the hips
and tail, should be washed thoroughly with soap and water and then with
the lysol solution as above, twice daily. This should also be done to
all exposed pregnant animals in the herd, being careful not to use the
same cloth, solution, bucket or attendant, for the well animals that was
used for the sick one.
Also give G.G., at intervals of six hours.
Falling and Protrusion of the Womb
After a difficult labor, or when manual help has been injudiciously
applied, the womb may be everted or turned inside out. The organ then is
partly or quite protruded and appears as a deep red mass covered with
smooth red bodies (glands).
