The animal wants to eat, but food remains within the mouth, with drooling saliva, because of paralysis of the masticatory muscles. Following nervous location of the lesions, the signs may be different from one sick animal to another. In adult cattle, the course of the disease is one to two weeks, but in calves, it is more acute.
