Homeopathic veterinary medicine
TREATMENT.—The general treatment has been sufficiently indicated in the
foregoing. If the labor be tedious, a dose of A.A., will often help.
After two hours, another dose might be given; and in some extreme cases,
when the pains have nearly ceased, a dose of the G.G.; will often help.
The animal should be kept in a roomy, well-aired place, free from
superfluous litter, covered immediately after calving if the least
danger be apprehended; fed sparingly for some days, principally on
mashes and small quantities of hay.
The udder should be frequently and well stripped of its contents.
Failure to come in Heat—Sterility
Failure to breed in the cow may occur in two different forms—first
impotence, in which the cow fails to come in heat, and second, true
sterility, in which, although she came in heat and was bred the service
proved unfruitful.
The first of these cases may be due to some malformation of the sexual
organs in which case it is incurable; but it is more often due to
insufficient or over-feed, or lack of exercise, or over-work, or some
depressing disease.
TREATMENT.—Correct the exercise and feeding, and give G.G., every night
for a week, or, if the case is urgent, a dose morning and night, and
then a dose daily until the result is manifest.
TRUE STERILITY may also be caused by malformations and be incurable, but
is more often caused by other things such as a catarrhal condition of
the vagina—Leucorrhea or to ardent heat, or insufficient food, or
debility from disease.
THE TREATMENT for Leucorrhea or a catarrhal condition of the organs,
which may be known by a constant or frequent discharge from the vagina,
give G.G., each morning and J.K., at night, and continue this for
several weeks, or until she is again served.
In addition dissolve one cake of fresh compressed yeast in a pint of
tepid water, then after a few hours, add another pint. Then wash the
vagina well with soap and water and use the dissolved yeast as a douche,
this should be done daily for several days.
Where there is an excess of excitement, too ardent or too frequent, or
even constant heat, give at first, H.H., a dose morning and night, for
two or three weeks, then a dose or two of G.G., and the result will
usually be satisfactory.
Where there is unthriftiness or want of good condition, correct the
feeding and give G.G., morning and J.K., at night.
Cleaning after Calving
In some cases, from torpidity of the calf-bed, the afterbirth is
retained, which may result in very serious consequences.
A dose of twenty drops of G.G., will soon cause its expulsion and the
healthy cleaning of the animal. It may be repeated, at intervals of four
hours, if necessary.
