Animal will be uneasy, gets up and lies down, and suffers much pain.
Walk the animal for a few minutes, then give one pint of Glauber Salts

Pratts Cow Remedy mixed with warm water as gruel until animal is
relieved, then mix with the feed. In extreme cases give four drams of
carbonate of ammonia, two drams of belladonna, mixed with one pint of
water. Blankets wrung out of hot water and applied will help to relieve
