I. Division of Diseases into Groups.
The diseases to which poultry are subject, are comparatively few. Poultry lousiness; roup, a contagious disease; gapes; crop-bound; diarrhœa; catarrh; inflammation of the egg passage, and rheumatism, are the principal ones. These and a few others, only, will be noticed. They may be divided as follows: Diseases of the brain and nervous system; diseases of the digestive organs; diseases of the lungs and air passages; diseases of the egg organs; and diseases of the skin.
II. Apoplexy.
Causes.—The cause of this disease is usually overfeeding and confined quarters. The bird may be moping for some days, but usually the trouble is not noticed until the fowl falls, and dies with hardly a struggle.
What to do.—The remedy is to open the largest of the veins under the wing. By pressing on the vein between the opening and the body, the blood will continue to flow until the pressure is released.
Prevention—The prevention is plenty of exercise, and abstinence from over-stimulating food.
III. Vertigo.
This is caused usually by strong feeding and lack of exercise. The fowl runs in a circle with but partial control of the limbs, and sometimes falls and dies.
What to do.—When observed, hold the head of the bird under a stream of cold water which will soon give relief. Ten grains of jalap may be administered afterwards, and the bird be kept on a rather low diet.
IV. Paralysis.
This is also induced by the same causes as the two last mentioned diseases, and is the direct effect of some disorder of the spinal cord. But little can be done, when once a bird is thus attacked.
Prevention.—Plenty of exercise, a mixed diet, and well ventilated but dry quarters.
V. Crop-Bound.
Causes.—This is caused by irregular feeding. A hungry bird stuffs his crop to such a degree, that the whole, when moistened, becomes a dense impacted mass. Sometimes any large hard substance will serve as a nucleus for the gradual gathering of other substances around it.
What to do.—The treatment is to puncture the upper part of the crop, loosen the mass by degrees with a blunt instrument, and gradually remove the lump. If the incision is large, the slit may be sewed up, and the bird kept
