BRONCHITIS.
Dogs
that
have
been
exposed
to
wet,
or
that
have
been
put
to
lie
in
a
damp
or
draughty
kennel
with
insufficient
food,
are
not
less
liable
than
their
masters
to
catch
a
severe
cold,
which,
if
not
promptly
attended
to,
may
extend
downward
to
the
lining
membranes
of
bronchi
or
lungs.
In
such
cases
there
is
always
symptoms
more
or
less
of
fever,
with
fits
of
shivering
and
thirst,
accompanied
with
dullness,
a
tired
appearance
and
loss
of
appetite.
The
breath
is
short,
inspirations
painful,
and
there
is
a
rattling
of
mucus
in
chest
or
throat.
The
most
prominent
symptom,
perhaps,
is
the
frequent
cough.
It
is
at
first
dry,
ringing,
and
evidently
painful;
in
a
few
days,
however,
or
sooner,
it
softens,
and
there
is
a
discharge
of
frothy
mucus
with
it,
and,
in
the
latter
stages,
of
pus
and
ropy
mucus.
Treatment--Keep
the
patient
in
a
comfortable,
well-ventilated
apartment,
with
free
access
in
and
out
if
the
weather
be
dry.
Let
the
bowels
be
freely
acted
upon
to
begin
with,
but
no
weakening
discharge
from
the
bowels
must
be
kept
up.
After
the
bowels
have
been
moved
we
should
commence
the
exhibition
of
small
doses
of
tartar
emetic
with
squills
and
opium
thrice
a
day.
If
the
cough
is
very
troublesome,
give
this
mixture:
Tincture
of
squills,
5
drops
to
30;
paregoric,
10
drops
to
60;
tartar
emetic,
one-sixteenth
of
a
grain
to
1
grain;
syrup
and
water
a
sufficiency.
Thrice
daily.
We
may
give
a
full
dose
of
opium
every
night.
In
mild
cases
carbonate
of
ammonia
may
be
tried;
it
often
does
good,
the
dose
being
from
two
grains
to
ten
in
camphor
water,
or
even
plain
water.
