Dogs and All about Them

Treatment--We
ought
to
endeavour
to
prevent
as
well
as
to
cure.
We
should
never
allow
our
dogs
to
eat
the
entrails
of
hares
or
rabbits.
Never
allow
them
to
be
fed
on
raw
sheep's
intestines,
nor
the
brains
of
sheep.
Never
permit
them
to
lounge
around
butchers'
shops,
nor
eat
offal
of
any
kind.
Let
their
food
be
well
cooked,
and
their
skins
and
kennels
kept
scrupulously
clean.
Dogs
that
are
used
for
sheep
and
cattle
ought,
twice
a
year
at
least,
to
go
under
treatment
for
the
expulsion
of
worms,
whether
they
are
infested
or
not;
an
anthelmintic
would
make
sure,
and
could
hardly
hurt
them.
For
the
expulsion
of
tape-worms
we
depend
mostly
on
areca-nut.
In
order
that
the
tape-worm
should
receive
the
full
benefit
of
the
remedy,
we
order
a
dose
of
castor
oil
the
day
before
in
the
morning,
and
recommend
no
food
to
be
given
that
day
except
beef-tea
or
mutton
broth.
The
bowels
are
thus
empty
next
morning,
so
that
the
parasite
cannot
shelter
itself
anywhere,
and
is
therefore
sure
to
be
acted
on.
Infusion
of
cusco
is
sometimes
used
as
an
anthelmintic,
so
is
wormwood,
and
the
liquid
extract
of
male
fern,
and
in
America
spigelia
root
and
pumpkin
seeds.
The
best
tonic
to
give
in
cases
of
worms
is
the
extract
of
quassia.
Extract
of
quassia,
1
to
10
grains;
extract
of
hyoscyamus,
1/2
to
5
grains.
To
make
one
pill.
Thrice
daily.
