General [General]
Attacks of Colic are much more rare in cows than in horses; and it is very seldom that they end fatally; it is generally sudden in its attack, and the symptoms are similar to those manifested by the horse, when suffering from an attack of Colic. Aconite is the principal medicine for this disease.
Dose. Six drops every half, one or two hours.
Arsenicum [Ars]
Arsenicum may be given if necessary after the Aconite, especially if the attack has been produced by green food, or cold water.
Dose. Ten drops every one or two hours.
Nux vomica [Nux-v]
Nux vomica will also occasionally be found very useful if there is constipation, and the attack is supposed to originate from Indigestion.
Dose. The same as directed for Aconite.
