Dogs and All about Them
·

The
chronic
form
of
bronchitis
will
always
yield,
if
the
dog
is
young,
to
careful
feeding,
moderate
exercise,
and
the
exhibition
of
cod-liver
oil
with
a
mild
iron
tonic.
The
exercise,
however,
must
be
moderate,
and
the
dog
kept
from
the
water.
A
few
drops
to
a
teaspoonful
of
paregoric,
given
at
night,
will
do
good,
and
the
bowels
should
be
kept
regular,
and
a
simple
laxative
pill
given
now
and
then.
DIARRHOEA,
or
looseness
of
the
bowels,
or
purging,
is
a
very
common
disease
among
dogs
of
all
ages
and
breeds.
It
is,
nevertheless,
more
common
among
puppies
about
three
or
four
months
old,
and
among
dogs
who
have
reached
the
age
of
from
seven
to
ten
years.
It
is
often
symptomatic
of
other
ailments.
Causes--Very
numerous.
In
weakly
dogs
exposure
alone
will
produce
it.
The
weather,
too,
has
no
doubt
much
to
do
with
the
production
of
diarrhoea.
In
most
kennels
it
is
more
common
in
the
months
of
July
and
August,
although
it
often
comes
on
in
the
very
dead
of
winter.
Puppies,
if
overfed,
will
often
be
seized
with
this
troublesome
complaint.
A
healthy
puppy
hardly
ever
knows
when
it
has
had
enough,
and
it
will,
moreover,
stuff
itself
with
all
sorts
of
garbage;
acidity
of
the
stomach
follows,
with
vomiting
of
the
ingesta,
and
diarrhoea
succeeds,
brought
on
by
the
acrid
condition
of
the
chyme,
which
finds
its
way
into
the
duodenum.
This
stuff
would
in
itself
act
as
a
purgative,
but
it
does
more,
it
abnormally
excites
the
secretions
of
the
whole
alimentary
canal,
and
a
sort
of
sub-acute
mucous
inflammation
is
set
up.
The
liver;
too,
becomes
mixed
up
with
the
mischief,
throws
out
a
superabundance
of
bile,
and
thus
aids
in
keeping
up
the
diarrhoea.
