Diseases that cause cows to foam at the mouth
- Pasture bloat is a common ailment that affects cattle. It occurs when a cow's natural digestive process creates gases like methane and carbon dioxide. If a cow struggles to expel these gases, then this can cause foaming, the result of which is often expelled through the mouth.
- Rabies is often associated with foaming at the mouth, and this viral infection can infect any warm-blooded animal. Whilst rabies isn't all that prevalent within the bovine specie, it can be transmitted through the saliva of another animal.
- Foot and mouth disease is a condition associated with foaming at the mouth, although the foam is actually a by-product of excess salivation, caused by blistering. Other symptoms of foot and mouth disease include a high temperature and weight loss.
