Homeopathic veterinary medicine
TREATMENT.—If dirt, wood, glass, sand, shot, or any other substance have
got into the wound, remove them by a sponge and cold water; in some
cases a syringe may be required for this purpose. If there is much
bleeding, this must be arrested by using a sponge dipped in cold water,
or with HUMPHREYS’ MARVEL WITCH HAZEL or HUMPHREYS’ VETERINARY OIL, and
gently pressed upon the wound. If _arteries_ have been severed, they
will have to be grasped with a pair of forceps, and drawn slightly and
gently forward, so that they may be securely tied by means of a strong
ligature of silk. You may know an artery has been injured by the blood
being bright red and coming in spurts. The healing of _cut-wounds_ is
facilitated by bringing the edges together by means of adhesive plaster,
or by stitching them. Before sewing up a wound, the bleeding should have
ceased, and the operator must be careful that all foreign bodies, loose
shreds of tissue, and clots of blood are carefully removed; otherwise
inflammation will be produced, and the stitches will have to be removed.
The sides of the wound should first be placed closely together, as
before injury; each thread should be tied by itself, so that if one
stitch breaks out, others may remain undisturbed. Well-waxed silk or
strong thread should be used, and as many stitches inserted as may be
necessary to unite the edges of the wound.
Give A.A., and apply the VETERINARY OIL in all cases of injury.
Caries of the Bones
SYMPTOMS.—Swelling of the bones; great tenderness to the touch;
frequently a suppurating wound. The disease is very serious, and very
difficult to cure.
TREATMENT.—You may give the J. K., each morning, and the I.I., at night,
with advantage.
Fractures
=Horns.=—When a cow breaks a horn there is considerable hemorrhage,
which should be arrested by applications of HUMPHREYS’ MARVEL WITCH
HAZEL. If the horn be warm, it is just possible to restore it by
immediately putting it in its place and fixing it there with bandages.
The animal should then be tied up to a ring, by itself, so that it
cannot rub against anything. The stump, or replaced horn, should be
wrapped in cloths after being well covered with HUMPHREYS’ VETERINARY
OIL. B.B., should be given internally, once or twice per day.
=Bones.=—The _ossa ilium_, or flank bones, are most liable to fracture.
TREATMENT.—In fractures, wherever situated, it is indispensable to keep
the part at rest as much as possible; consequently most fractures
incidental to cattle admit of no efficatious treatment. In simple
fractures, where the proper splints and bandages can be applied,
recovery may ensue.
