Homeopathic veterinary medicine
SYMPTOMS.—The dog has sudden pain in the bowels; it comes on in fits, is
worse at one time than another. The dog is restless, frequently changing
his position; he extends himself and then draws himself in with arched
back, turns his head towards his sides, throws himself down, rolls
about, moans or whines when the pain is severe, with a short, rough
voice. There is rarely any fever in case of simple colic.
TREATMENT.—The F.F., should be given; a dose, from three to five drops,
according to the size of the dog, and repeated every half hour or hour,
as the urgency of the case demands.
Should it not promptly relieve, the A.A., or J.K., may be given
alternately with F.F.
Gastritis—Inflammation of the Stomach
CAUSES.—Drinking cold water when heated from running; damp kennels;
continued feeding with rich food; indigestion; poisons.
SYMPTOMS.—Great pain; the dog throws himself on the ground, kicks and
rolls; there is constant desire for cold water, but as soon as any food
or drink is swallowed, it is rejected; constant retching; dry and hot
nose; cold extremities; quick breathing; anxious countenance; lying on
the belly on the coldest ground the dog can find.
TREATMENT.—A.A., is the proper medicine. Give a dose as often as every
hour if in great distress, and at longer intervals as the patient
improves. From one to three drops, according to the size of dog.
ACCESSORY MEANS.—Nothing but cold water should be allowed till all the
symptoms have disappeared; even then great care must be exercised for
several days, as to the kind of food given; cold milk or oatmeal gruel
will then be suitable, in small quantities.
The treatment of gastritis produced by poisons consists in removing the
poison from the system and neutralizing its effect.
Enteritis—Inflammation of the Bowels
DEFINITION.—Inflammation of the bowels, either of their whole substance
or only the inside or lining membrane.
CAUSES.—Drinking cold water when heated; exposure of petted dogs to
cold; damp or sudden changes of weather; keeping the kennels of chained
dogs on a damp, sunless situation; too long continuance of animal food;
flatulent colic; obstruction of the bowels from hardened fæces, foreign
bodies, etc.
SYMPTOMS.—Violent pain, without cessation; great tenderness of the
abdomen, which is very hot; the pain is often so severe that the poor
animal throws himself violently down, howls, springs up again, walks
about for a few seconds, throws himself down again, rolls over and cries
out; these actions are repeated until relief is obtained, or, in fatal
cases, till a short time before death takes place. There is also
aversion of food, constant thirst, constipation, the excrement coming
away in small, hard pieces, during the first stage of the disease; the
evacuations afterwards become loose and bloody.
