TREATMENT OF THREATENED ABORTION.—Give fifteen drops of G.G., every six
hours, and the dose may be repeated two or three or more times should
the threatening symptoms continue after the first or even the second
dose has expended its action.
This interval should elapse between doses, as too rapid ones may even
defeat the object, by over-excitement of the system, while a single dose
often arrests an abortion if permitted to expand its action.
After a ewe has actually aborted, it is almost impossible to tell
whether it occurred from contagious abortion or from some other cause,
so the safe thing to do is to act as if it had been contagious abortion.
TREATMENT OF CONTAGIOUS ABORTION.—The fetus and membranes should be
burned. The premises occupied by the sick animal should be disinfected
as follows: Remove all bedding and dirt possible and spray all available
parts of barn with 3% formalin or 5% carbolic acid solution. Apply
whitewash containing 1 lb. chloride of lime to 3 gallons of whitewash,
scatter quicklime on floor and gutters.
The animal which has aborted should receive daily a vaginal irrigation
of two gallons of warm water containing 2% lysol until the vaginal
discharge stops. The external parts about the vagina, including the hips
and tail, should be washed thoroughly with soap and water and then with
the lysol solution as above, twice daily. This should also be done to
all exposed pregnant animals in the herd, being careful not to use the
same cloth, solution, bucket or attendant, for the well animals that was
used for the sick one. Give G.G., at intervals of six hours.
Inflammation of the Bearing
By this term is indicated a common affection of the ewe during the
lambing season, which is generally produced by injuries inflicted upon
the parts of generation in forcibly extracting the lamb from the mother.
TREATMENT.—The parts should be well washed with tepid water, and
VETERINARY OIL applied. A.A., should also be given internally, two or
three times a day; in some cases, alternated with I.I.
Garget—Inflammation of the Udder
Garget is a disease which prevails amongst ewes during the lambing
season. It arises generally from the action of cold and wet upon the
udder. Lying with the udder in contact with the cold, wet ground will
produce garget; also prevalence of wet and easterly winds.
The udder swells considerably, is excessively tender, and speedily
becomes hard and hot; the pulse rises; the appetite fails, and more or
less fever is present. The progress of the disorder is very rapid, and
often fatal; prompt treatment is consequently required.
