Dogs and All about Them

It
is
not
judicious
to
wet
a
long-haired
dog
much,
but
a
short-haired
one
may
have
the
chest
and
throat
well
fomented
several
times
a
day,
and
well
rubbed
dry
afterwards.
Heat
applied
to
the
chests
of
long-haired
dogs
by
means
of
a
flat
iron
will
also
effect
good.
The
following
is
an
excellent
tonic:
Sulphate
of
quinine,
1/8
to
3
grains;
powdered
rhubarb,
2
to
10
grains;
extract
of
taraxacum,
3
to
20
grains;
make
a
bolus.
Thrice
daily.
During
convalescence
good
food,
Virol,
Spratts'
invalid
food
and
invalid
biscuit,
moderate
exercise,
fresh
air,
and
protection
from
cold.
These,
with
an
occasional
mild
dose
of
castor
oil
or
rhubarb,
are
to
be
our
sheet-anchors.
I
find
no
better
tonic
than
the
tablets
of
Phosferine.
One
quarter
of
a
tablet
thrice
daily,
rolled
in
tissue
paper,
for
a
Toy
dog,
up
to
two
tablets
for
a
dog
of
Mastiff
size.
