(b)
Prurigo.--Itching
all
over,
with
or
without
scurf.
Sometimes
thickening.
Treatment--Regulation
of
diet,
green
vegetables,
fruit
if
he
will
take
it,
brushing
and
grooming,
but
never
roughly.
Try
for
worms
and
for
fleas.
(c)
Eczema.--The
name
is
not
a
happy
one
as
applied
to
the
usual
itching
skin
disease
of
dogs.
Eczema
proper
is
an
eruption
in
which
the
formed
matter
dries
off
into
scales
or
scabs,
and
dog
eczema,
so-called,
is
as
often
as
not
a
species
of
lichen.
Then,
of
course,
it
is
often
accompanied
with
vermin,
nearly
always
with
dirt,
and
it
is
irritated
out
of
all
character
by
the
biting
and
scratching
of
the
dog
himself.
Treatment--Must
be
both
constitutional
and
local.
Attend
to
the
organs
of
digestion.
Give
a
moderate
dose
of
opening
medicine,
to
clear
away
offending
matter.
This
simple
aperient
may
be
repeated
occasionally,
say
once
a
week,
and
if
diarrhoea
be
present
it
may
be
checked
by
the
addition
of
a
little
morphia
or
dilute
sulphuric
acid.
Cream
of
tartar
with
sulphur
is
an
excellent
derivative,
being
both
diuretic
and
diaphoretic,
but
it
must
not
be
given
in
doses
large
enough
to
purge.
At
the
same
time
we
may
give
thrice
daily
a
tonic
pill
like
the
following:--
Sulphate
of
quinine,
1/8
to
3
grains;
sulphate
of
iron,
1/2
grain
to
5
grains;
extract
of
hyoscyamus,
1/8
to
3
grains;
extract
of
taraxacum
and
glycerine
enough
to
make
a
pill.
Locally--Perfect
cleanliness.
Cooling
lotions
patted
on
to
the
sore
places.
Spratts'
Cure.
(N.B.--I
know
what
every
remedy
contains,
or
I
should
not
recommend
it.)
Benzoated
zinc
ointment
after
the
lotion
has
dried
in.
Wash
carefully
once
a
week,
using
the
ointment
when
skin
is
dry,
or
the
lotion
to
allay
irritation.
