The Department of Agriculture has
received urgent requeeti for help
tgelnat the diaene known as blind
from 16 different statea, and
ns a result it has now published a bulle
tin containing definite instructions for
combating this disease.
Investigators have practically establish-
edthat this horse disease can be controll
ed effectively on)y by a total change of
feed and forage. It is quite obvious
that there is a direct connection be
tween the green forage, exposed pas
turage and newly-cut hay or fodder
which the horses eat, and this Cerebro
spinal Meningitis, as the disease is
known to scientists. In fact, eating of
such forage when contaminated is un
doubtedly the most important cause-
Over 96 per cent of cases of this disease
in Kansas and Nebraska during the,out
break of 1912 were maintained under-
such conditions.
Great care must be taken that horses
do not obtain the dangerous forage un
known to their owners. • - -
Many horses have died from blind
staggers caused by eating moldy baled
hay. As soon as the hay was eliminated
Tthe disease ceased. Other horses in
the vicinity not fed upon this hay failed
to contract this disease. Later some of
tfle moldy bales were opened and ex
posed to the sun for three or four weeks.
After this the hay was fed to horses
without producing any ill effect. For-
-age poisoning, therefore, seems not to
l>e an infection but rather what is called
“auto intoxicatitm’’—that is, it is due to
certain chemical poisons or toxins form
ed by the activity of internal organisms.
These poisons may be present when
the foragd i$ taken into the body or
• may be formed in the stomach. The
nature of this poison is still unknown.
Characteristic Symplons of This Disease.
When the horse is taken with the
blind'staggers it usually exhibits a dis
turbance of the appetite, depression
and weakness, while there is trouble in
swallowing, drooping of the head and
sleepiness which may &ive way to ex
citement and attacks of dizziness. The
vision is impaired, which results in the
staggering gait that gives the disease
its popular name. Certain muscles of
the neck and flanks are cramped, and
there is a grinding of the teeth. Some
times the animal has pains as though it
were Afflicted with colic. The animal
will walk strangely if in an open space
and will try tapusb-through any obsta-
it encounters. In the stable he will
press his head against the stall or rest
it on the manger. Sometimes he will
crowd into a corner. The temperature
at the beginning of the disease ranges
from 103 to 107 degress F. but within
24 hours the temperature falls and
eventually becomes subnormal. The
animal is often down on the second or
• third day and may or may not get up
when urged. Death usually occurs in
from four to eight days, although death
may follow within ten hours of the first
symptoms, while chronic eases have
been known to last for three weeks.
About 90 per cent'bf the affecFecr ani
mals die.
Medical Treatment Generally UnsatiiK
factory.
While medical treatment in the vast
majority of cases has not brought re
sults, nevertheless if it is used at all it
must be prompt and before the disease
has had time to run. The digestive
tract should be cleaned out thoroughly
at once. Active and concentrated rem
edies should be given. Afflicted ani
mals, have great difficulty in swallow
ing immediately after being taken, so
that these remedies must generally be
given by injection. Arecolin in one-
half grain doses, subcutaneously;" has
given good rcsuls as a purgative. Ear
ly in the disease urotropin in doses of
25 grains dissolved in water and given
by the mouth every 2 hours, appears to
have been responsible for'the recovery
of some cases of the malady.
After the animal has been purged,
the treatment varies according to the
symptoms. The following measures
have been recommended.
The first and most important: Feed
only clean well-cured forage and grain,
and pure water.
Calomel, Shlol, and salicylic acid, to
disinfect intestines.
Mild antiseptic mouth-washes are ad
visable.
Copious cold-water injections, if the
