How to Treat Bovine Cold Paralysis? Detailed Treatment Plan

Bovine cold paralysis, also known as "numb-foot wind," is caused by poor feeding and management, often letting cattle sleep in cold, damp places and catch wind and chill. In the early stage of the disease, symptoms are not very obvious: the cattle eat grass, drink water, and urinate and defecate normally, but the coat is somewhat rough and messy, the whole body trembles, cold air is exhaled, and movement is slow. Later, the whole body gradually becomes cold, weak, and drowsy, with joint and muscle pain. When the disease is severe, rumination stops, the limbs are painful or numb, the animal cannot stand, is listless, the mouth is dry, the tongue coating turns black or yellow, the tail and ear tips are inflexible, the pulse is thin and deep, the heartbeat is weak, paralysis occurs, the buttocks swell, the hind limbs partially ulcerate and bedsores develop, and in severe cases the animal may die.
