Dogs and All about Them

Treatment--Avoid
the
use
of
so-called
disinfectants.
Most
of
those
sold
as
such
are
simply
deodorisers,
and,
applied
to
the
skin,
are
useless.
Nor
are
they
of
much
use
in
cleaning
the
kennels.
Nothing
suits
better
for
woodwork
than,
first,
carbolic
wash,
and
then
a
thorough
scrubbing
with
hot
water
and
garden
soap.
Some
ointment
must
be
used
to
the
skin,
and
as
I
am
writing
for
laymen
only
I
feel
chary
in
recommending
such
strong
ones
as
the
green
iodide
of
mercury.
If
you
do
use
it
mix
it
with
twice
its
bulk
of
the
compound
sulphur
ointment.
Do
over
only
a
part
or
two
at
a
time.
The
dog
to
be
washed
after
three
days.
But
the
compound
sulphur
ointment
itself
is
a
splendid
application,
and
it
is
not
dangerous.

Skin
Complaints
from
Vermin.--The
treatment
is
obvious--get
rid
of
the
cause.
As
their
diagnosis
is
so
difficult,
whenever
the
dog-owner
is
in
doubt,
make
certain
by
treating
the
dog
not
only
by
local
applications
but
constitutionally
as
well.
In
addition
to
good
diet,
perfect
cleanliness
of
coat,
kennel,
and
all
surroundings,
and
the
application
of
the
ointment
or
oil,
let
the
dog
have
all
the
fresh
air
possible,
and
exercise,
but
never
over-exciting
or
too
fatiguing.
Then
a
course
of
arsenic
seldom
fails
to
do
good.
I
do
not
believe
in
beginning
the
exhibition
of
arsenic
too
soon.
I
prefer
paying
my
first
attentions
to
the
digestive
organs
and
state
of
the
bowels.
The
form
of
exhibition
which
I
have
found
suit
as
well
as
any
is
the
tasteless
Liquor
arsenicalis.
It
is
easily
administered.
It
ought
to
be
given
mixed
with
the
food,
as
it
ought
to
enter
the
blood
with
the
chyle
from
the
diet.
It
ought,
day
by
day,
to
be
gradually,
not
hurriedly,
increased.
Symptoms
of
loathing
of
food
and
redness
of
conjunctiva
call
for
the
cessation
of
its
use
for
two
or
three
days
at
least,
when
it
is
to
be
recommended
at
the
same
size
of
dose
given
when
left
off.
