This is simply an exaggerated stage of the disease known as Red
Water,--to which the reader is referred in its appropriate place,--the
urine being darker in color in consequence of the admixture of venous
blood.
The symptoms are similar, though more acute. There is constipation at
first, which is followed by diarrhoea, large quantities of blood
passing away with the evacuations from the bowels; symptoms of abdominal
pain are present; the loins become extremely tender; and the animal dies
in a greatly prostrated condition.
The treatment does not differ from that prescribed in case of Red
Water.
