PARASITES.--EXTERNAL.
FLEAS.
Washing
with
Spratts'
medicated
soap.
Extra
clean
kennels.
Dusting
with
Keating,
and
afterwards
washing.
This
may
not
kill
the
fleas,
but
it
drives
them
off.
Take
the
dog
on
the
grass
while
dusting,
and
begin
along
the
spine.
Never
do
it
in
the
house.
TICKS.
I
have
noticed
these
disagreeable
bloodsuckers
only
on
the
heads
and
bodies
of
sporting
or
Collie
dogs,
who
had
been
boring
for
some
time
through
coverts
and
thickets.
They
soon
make
themselves
visible,
as
the
body
swells
up
with
the
blood
they
suck
until
they
resemble
small
soft
warts
about
as
big
as
a
pea.
They
belong
to
the
natural
family,
Ixodiadae.
Treatment--If
not
very
numerous
they
should
be
cut
off,
and
the
part
touched
with
a
little
turps.
The
sulphuret
of
calcium
will
also
kill
them,
so
will
the
more
dangerous
white
precipitate,
or
even
a
strong
solution
of
carbolic
acid,
which
must
be
used
sparingly,
however.
