Cud is partly digested forage that is regurgitated back up from the reticulo-rumen to be rechewed again to enable further digestion of starches. Animals like cattle chew cud when they are resting. When they are done chewing cud, they swallow it back down again.

the only way a cud from another animal will help is if the sick animal will chew the others cud... what this does is introduce "good stomach bacteria" to the ill animal.. usually after bloat or some similar problem.. you can also use beer that the fizz has been removed, probios, or live culture yogurt. I would suggest not using the cud of another animal to avoid cross contamination but it will work in a pinch....
"Lost its cud??" Not sure what you mean, but unless you can give us more symptoms than the simple phrase of an animal "losing its cud" only then can we tell you what's wrong and how to treat it. The thing to remember is to never treat the symptoms, but the disease as a whole.

Yes. A ruminant animal chews its cud (grass material brought back up out of a stomach). Humans do not chew cud, ergo, are not ruminant animals.
ruminant
"The cow chewed its cud." Cud (noun), partly digested food returned from the first stomach of ruminants to the mouth for further chewing. A ruminant is an animal that has a stomach system such that it chews its cud. This includes cattle, sheep, antelopes, deer, giraffes, and their relatives.
