Dogs and All about Them

Food
and
Drink--For
the
first
three
or
four
days
let
the
food
be
light
and
easily
digested.
In
order
to
induce
the
animal
to
take
it,
it
should
be
as
palatable
as
possible.
For
small
dogs
you
cannot
have
anything
better
than
milk
porridge.
[1]
At
all
events,
the
dog
must,
if
possible,
be
induced
to
eat;
he
must
not
be
"horned"
unless
there
be
great
emaciation;
he
must
not
over-eat,
but
what
he
gets
must
be
good.
As
to
drink,
dogs
usually
prefer
clean
cold
water,
and
we
cannot
do
harm
by
mixing
therewith
a
little
plain
nitre.
[1]
Oatmeal
porridge
made
with
milk
instead
of
water.
Medicine--Begin
by
giving
a
simple
dose
of
castor
oil,
just
enough
and
no
more
than
will
clear
out
the
bowels
by
one
or
two
motions.
Drastic
purgatives,
and
medicines
such
as
mercury,
jalap,
aloes,
and
podophyllyn,
cannot
be
too
highly
condemned.
For
very
small
Toy
dogs,
such
as
Italian
Greyhounds,
Yorkshire
Terriers,
etc.,
I
should
not
recommend
even
oil
itself,
but
manna--one
drachm
to
two
drachms
dissolved
in
milk.
By
simply
getting
the
bowels
to
act
once
or
twice,
we
shall
have
done
enough
for
the
first
day,
and
have
only
to
make
the
dog
comfortable
for
the
night.
On
the
next
day
begin
with
a
mixture
such
as
the
following:
Solution
of
acetate
of
ammonia,
30
drops
to
120;
sweet
spirits
of
nitre,
15
drops
to
60;
salicylate
of
soda,
2
grains
to
10.
Thrice
daily
in
a
little
camphor
water.
