Homeopathic veterinary medicine
TREATMENT.—During the earlier stage, with fever, heat, quick pulse and
breathing, give the A.A., a dose of twenty drops, four times per day.
Should cough and irritation remain, or not yield promptly to the A.A.,
give the E.E., the same dose, repeated four times daily; or if fever yet
continues, give the two Remedies in alternation, at intervals of three
hours.
For calves, give one-third or half as much as for grown cattle,
according to age or size.
Sore Throat or Pharyngitis
The disease consists of inflammation, with consequent swelling and
soreness of the top of the gullet or passage between the mouth and
stomach. It arises from the same causes which produce colds, and
sometimes assumes an epidemic and very fatal character, especially when
the spring or fall is very cold and wet and the animals graze on damp,
marshy grounds. It is usually accompanied with catarrh.
SYMPTOMS.—Difficulty of swallowing, so that solid food is partially
chewed and then dropped from the mouth; fluids are gulped down, or
partly return through the nostrils; or all food may be refused in
consequence of the severe pain attending swallowing; the cud is not
chewed; the throat and glands of the neck are swelled, hot and painful;
the cough is frequent, hoarse, and indicates pain; the breathing becomes
very difficult and labored, and the pulse full and quick.
TREATMENT.—Give twenty drops of A.A., every three or four hours, until
three doses have been given, then begin with the C.C., and give every
three hours of the C.C., in alternation with the A.A. As the animal
improves and the fever and heat abate, the A.A., may be discontinued,
and the C.C., be used alone, at intervals of four or six hours.
In all febrile diseases of cattle, it is of the utmost importance to
house them in a _warm_, _dry_, _comfortable stable_, free from exposure,
dampness, or cold drafts of air, especially in cold or moist weather.
Cough
Cough in the cow is rarely or never a disease of itself, but merely a
symptom or attendant of some disease of the respiratory organs, such as
Catarrh, Bronchitis, Pleurisy or Pneumonia, of which it is merely the
indication. Its symptomatic importance is such that it always deserves
attention, and its cause should at once be carefully investigated. In
some case very grave alterations may be going on in the lungs, which
will escape notice if attention be not directed to it by means of the
cough. Examine the animal carefully, ascertain the state of her pulse,
breathing, appetite, secretion of milk, etc., and direct treatment for
such disease as is found to be present.
However, in the absence of any special indications, the E.E., should be
given, a dose of twenty drops morning and night, which will generally
relieve, and will not be out of place in any case.
