Homeopathic veterinary medicine
TREATMENT.—We should, of course, give food not so loosening in its
character and the F.F., a dose of twenty drops two or three times per
day, will usually be found quite sufficient. In extreme cases, or in
case of failure with this remedy, the I.I., may be alternated with it,
at the same or even more frequent intervals.
Diarrhea or Cholera or “Skitt” in Young Calves
Is quite common, and not unfrequently dangerous. In its more dangerous
form it appears the first or second day, and it is then presumably
caused by the feverish or unhealthy condition of the mother’s milk. In
its natural condition, this first milk is laxative and intended to act
as a removal of the first passages in the new born calf.
When the milk is very rich in butter, as in the Jersey cattle, it
becomes excessively laxative, especially during the period of the milk
fever, or the first three days after calving. The passages are noticed
to be very frequent, loose, liquid, or even watery, with weakness and
rapid wasting; the legs and ears become cold, and, in extreme cases,
short breath and panting with the tongue out.
TREATMENT.—The dam should always have a dose of A.A., soon after
calving, and this should be continued, a dose at least three times per
day for four days, or until the usual danger from milk fever is passed.
If, however, the dam has had no treatment, give her a dose alternately
of the A.A., and of the F.F., at intervals of three hours, to change the
feverish or unhealthy nature of the milk, as well as to give the calf
the Remedy through the mother’s milk.
Give also to the calf a dose of five drops of F.F., once in three hours
if the case is urgent, or three times per day if but slight, and
gradually omit as the calf improves. If the F.F., fails, give I.I., a
dose every fifteen minutes or half hour at first until relieved, then
once in three hours.
Dysentery—Johnes Disease
This is a disease which has existed on certain farms for years without
either the owners or Veterinarians knowing what it was, and it is only
within the last few years that we have known that it was caused by a
definite disease germ.
SYMPTOMS.—This disease usually attacks whole herds rather than
individual animals. At first there is loss of condition and weight with
rough coat and dry skin, then diarrhea is noticed, the discharges being
brown and like molasses. There is no fever, but the animal has little
appetite and keeps getting thinner and weaker all the time until it
finally dies from exhaustion. The course of the disease is long—from two
months to three years—and is always fatal.
TREATMENT.—In suspected cases give F.F., twenty drops every three hours,
until the animal improves or the disease becomes thoroughly developed in
which latter case the animal should be killed at once, and the place
disinfected as given under abortion on page 122.
