Dogs and All about Them

If
the
cough
be
very
troublesome
and
the
fever
does
not
run
very
high,
the
following
may
be
substituted
for
this
on
the
second
or
third
day:
Syrup
of
squills,
10
drops
to
60;
tincture
of
henbane,
10
drops
to
60;
sweet
spirits
of
nitre,
10
drops
to
60,
in
camphor
water.
A
few
drops
of
dilute
hydrochloric
acid
should
be
added
to
the
dog's
drink,
and
two
teaspoonfuls
(to
a
quart
of
water)
of
the
chlorate
of
potash.
This
makes
an
excellent
fever
drink,
especially
if
the
dog
can
be
got
to
take
decoction
of
barley--barley-water--instead
of
plain
cold
water,
best
made
of
Keen
and
Robinson's
patent
barley.
If
there
be
persistent
sickness
and
vomiting,
the
medicine
must
be
stopped
for
a
time.
Small
boluses
of
ice
frequently
administered
will
do
much
good,
and
doses
of
dilute
prussic
acid,
from
one
to
four
drops
in
a
little
water,
will
generally
arrest
the
vomiting.
If
constipation
be
present,
we
must
use
no
rough
remedies
to
get
rid
of
it.
A
little
raw
meat
cut
into
small
pieces--minced,
in
fact--or
a
small
portion
of
raw
liver,
may
be
given
if
there
be
little
fever;
if
there
be
fever,
we
are
to
trust
for
a
time
to
injections
of
plain
soap-and-water.
Diarrhoea,
although
often
a
troublesome
symptom,
is,
it
must
be
remembered,
a
salutary
one.
Unless,
therefore,
it
becomes
excessive,
do
not
interfere;
if
it
does,
give
the
simple
chalk
mixture
three
times
a
day,
but
no
longer
than
is
needful.
The
discharge
from
the
mouth
and
nose
is
to
be
wiped
away
with
a
soft
rag--or,
better
still,
some
tow,
which
is
afterwards
to
be
burned--wetted
with
a
weak
solution
of
carbolic.
The
forehead,
eyes,
and
nose
may
be
fomented
two
or
three
times
a
day
with
moderately
hot
water
with
great
advantage.
