=Cattle= show the same general congestion and heat of the head, ears and
horns, congested mucosæ, fixed eyes, and pupils, indisposition to follow
the herd, irritability, and dulness with often a disposition to lie
down. This may go on to violent bellowing, pushing against the wall,
grinding of the teeth, working of the jaws, rolling of the eyeballs, and
violent dashing in different directions regardless of obstacles.
=Dogs= show the same restlessness and excitability, congested head, eyes
and nose, frequent movement from place to place, a desire to wander off,
and it may be spasms. If there has been any gastric disturbance vomiting
usually supervenes. As in the larger animals the disease may go on to
more violent symptoms, and the animal howls, rushes in different
directions, and may snap at imaginary objects, or at any one who
interferes with him. His movements are liable to be unsteady, uncertain
and swaying.
In all cases the ophthalmoscope reveals a congestion of the optic disc.
In the different animals too, acute cerebral hyperæmia tends to merge
early into encephalitis with exudation and pressure, attended by stupor,
coma, somnolence or profound lethargy.
