are chronic,
progressive weight loss
and abdominal distention.
Affected animals gradually become inappetant, have a reduced fecal output and drop off in milk production. Rumen motility can be static, hypomotile or hypermotile.Bradycardia may occur due to increased parasympathetic tone from the injured vagus nerve. Affected animals may be dehydrated due to fluid sequestration and osmotic draw within the forestomachs.
