Book excerpt: Excerpt from d104 Book of Veterinary Medicine, Vol. 3 Nervous control of bodily functions: affected through disease of nerve centres or nerve trunks, sensory, motor, vaso-motor, etc. Modes of impaired nervous function: objective; subjective. Nervous characteristics in different breeds, individuals, sexes, castrated animals. Nervous disorder from microbian toxins, narcotics, nervous stimulants, etc. All bodily functions are more or less directly controlled by the nervotis systenm, hence nervous troubles are interwoven with the diseases of all other organs. Disorder of the nerve centres or nerve trunks affects the most distant parts over which these preside, or to and from which they convey nervous impulse. In different cases we see this operating through the sensory or motor functions, through lack of coordination or of balance, through modification of the circulation, respiration, secretion, absorption, nutrition, metabolism, special sensation, intellection, emotion, etc. These manifestations are less evident or less diagnostic in the lower animal, because we cannot fulh avail of the subjective symptoms. While the human patient can tll us his feelings and experience in their regular order and succession, we can only infer most of these in the animal, through dependent objective symptoms. In many cases we cannot even infer for lack of these dependent symptoms. The practitioner must carefully watch for and accurately observe all objective symptoms, and seek to rightly interpret them. Among other things he must note the nervous conformation, organization and susceptibility; the hereditary nervous characteristics as seen in breeds, temperament, habit, aptitude to learn, docility, instinct, intelligence, emotions and affections, and judge the case in the light of these. Similarly he must take into account the hereditary, racial and individual irritability, obstinacy, restiveness, vice, alertness, sluggishness, stupidity, nioroseness, and diagnose accordingly.
