There is an over-excitability of the nerves in place of sluggishness, and an over-reactivity of the whole organism to its environment. The heart's action is too fast, and under the slightest stimulus gets faster to the point of obtruding itself into the conscious mind as a palpitation.
Hair is lost, there is a general wasting, the nails get brittle, and the bones soften, and the animal dies.

It occurs most often in the young, the pregnant, or in vomiting after operations.
