In drenching the ox, the liquid should be poured into the mouth slowly, the nose should only be raised sufficiently high to allow the fluid to flow backward; if raised too high, swal- lowing is prevented and the liquid is apt to flow into the wind- pipe and cause strangulation. This difficulty is frequently experienced in cows suffering from coma or insensibility in such cases as parturient apoplexy. Acute Indigestion or Bloat. Acute indigestion in the ox results from taking undue Trocar for Puncturing the Paunch, quantities of food, especially foods that are mouldy or musty or improperly cured; from drinking large quantities of cold water, or from eating large quantities of grass, especially clover, that is wet or covered with dew or frost. Symptoms: The animal will appear uneasy, with loss of appetite and anxious look; the temperature remains normal, there may be eructations & gas with portions of partially masticated food, slavers drip from the mouth, and when asso- ciated with great distention of the rumen with gas is known as tympany or hoven. The animal now shows great distension on the left side; tapping with the finger emits a hollow, drum- like sound, the breathing becomes frequent and quick, the animal has a staggering gait, and may die from suffocation caused by encroachment of the paunch upon the lungs. 47
