Subject: It could be rabies.


SE South Dakota

Be very careful sticking your hands in his mouth. Always wear gloves!!!! Rabies usually starts off with inability to eat, swallow and lots of drooling. They don't necessarily get mean.....sometimes they just get sleepy. The old timers used to call rabies "hydrophobia" because it would appear as though the cattle were afraid of water......actually the cattle just lost their ability to swallow.
Many people have had to take rabies shots after sticking their hands into a cows mouth because they thought it had something stuck in their throat.
If he dies in the next week to 10 days I would get his brain checked.
