PSEUDORABIES

also called Aujeszky's disease, or mad itch viral disease mainly of cattle and swine. Infected swine lose their appetites and may have convulsive fits. Survivors of the initial attack scratch and are restless. A cow shows infection by rubbing against posts and by licking and biting the affected areas. The itching becomes so intense that the animal lunges and runs about in a rabieslike frenzy.
