Dogs and All about Them

Many
dog
owners
swear
by
the
preparation
called
Ruby,
which
can
be
recommended
as
a
cure
for
worms.--Ed.
The
perfect
cleanliness
of
the
kennel
is
of
paramount
importance.
The
animal's
general
health
requires
looking
after,
and
he
may
be
brought
once
more
into
good
condition
by
proper
food
and
a
course
of
vegetable
tonics.
If
wanted
in
show
condition
we
have
Plasmon
to
fall
back
upon,
and
Burroughs
and
Wellcome's
extract
of
malt.
There
is
a
round-worm
which
at
times
infests
the
dog's
bladder,
and
may
cause
occlusion
of
the
urethra;
a
whip-worm
inhabiting
the
caecum;
another
may
occupy
a
position
in
the
mucous
membrane
of
the
stomach;
some
infest
the
blood,
and
others
the
eye.

Tape-worms--There
are
several
kinds,
but
the
treatment
is
the
same
in
all
cases.
The
commonest
in
the
country
is
the
Cucumerine.
This
is
a
tape-worm
of
about
fifteen
inches
in
average
length,
although
I
have
taken
them
from
Newfoundland
pups
fully
thirty
inches
long.
It
is
a
semi-transparent
entozoon;
each
segment
is
long
compared
to
its
breadth,
and
narrowed
at
both
ends.
Each
joint
has,
when
detached,
an
independent
sexual
existence.
The
dog
often
becomes
infested
with
this
parasite
from
eating
sheeps'
brains,
and
dogs
thus
afflicted
and
allowed
to
roam
at
pleasure
over
fields
and
hills
where
sheep
are
fed
sow
the
seeds
of
gid
in
our
flocks
to
any
extent.
We
know
too
well
the
great
use
of
Collie
dogs
to
the
shepherd
or
grazier
to
advise
that
dogs
should
not
be
employed
as
assistants,
but
surely
it
would
be
to
their
owners'
advantage
to
see
that
they
were
kept
in
a
state
of
health
and
cleanliness.
