Cow-pox
Categories:
Diseases and their Remedies
Two varieties of sore teats occur in the cow, in the form of pustular
eruptions. They first appear as small vesicles containing a purulent
matter, and subsequently assume a scabby appearance, or small ulcers
remain, which often prove troublesome to heal. This latter is the
cow-pox, from which Jenner derived the vaccine matter.
Treatment.--Foment the teats well with warm water and Castile-soap;
after which, wipe the bag dry, and dress with citrine ointment. The
preparations of iodine have also been recommended, and they are very
serviceable.
