Homeopathic veterinary medicine
TREATMENT.—A. A., is the proper remedy, a dose of from one to three
drops, in a spoonful of water or milk, should be given, at first every
half hour, then, as he improves, every hour, and as improvement
progresses, at still longer intervals, until relief is obtained.
Sometimes interposing a dose of F. F., is beneficial, if there are
loose, bloody stools, or violent pain.
ACCESSORY MEANS.—Fomentations of hot water should be applied to the
body, and continued till the symptoms have abated; cold water given to
lap; milk and broth may be given when the severe symptoms have subsided.
Diarrhea
Excess of food, bad food, exposure to cold and wet, as well as a bilious
condition, may induce diarrhea in the dog. If slight it will cure
itself. It usually manifests itself by sickness, vomiting, thirst,
discharges more frequent and thinner than usual. If it continues, the
animal becomes thin, weak, does not eat his food, and his breath becomes
offensive.
TREATMENT.—The F. F., will be found effectual. Give three or four drops,
according to the size of the dog, three times per day.
Dysentery
SYMPTOMS.—Thirst, purging of fluid mixed with small pieces of dung,
attended with severe straining and pain; often the discharges are of
mucus mixed with blood. There is loss of strength and appetite, with
rapid wasting.
TREATMENT.—Give the F. F., two to five drops, every one, two or three
hours, according to the urgency of the case.
Constipation, or Bound Bowels
Constipation is more frequently observed than diarrhea in a dog. It may
be the result of a want of proper exercise, improper food, or some
disorder of the liver or other part of the digestive system. It is
manifested by frequent unavailing efforts to evacuate, attended with
groaning, trembling or other manifestations of pain.
TREATMENT.—Give J. K., three to five drops, according to size of animal,
three times per day.
Should this course not relieve, an injection of warm soap and water
should be given, and repeated, if necessary, until the result is
accomplished.
Worms
The entire animal kingdom is subject to numerous parasites or entozoa.
These have their abode either upon the surface, or along the intestinal
tract, or within the cavities, or even in the more solid substances or
muscles of the body. They are found in all animals and fish—those in
apparent health as well as those that are sick—and part they play in the
economy of nature is confessedly obscure. It is generally conceded that
it is only in peculiar or morbid conditions, or under a course of diet
and regimen unfavorable to health, that they multiply or increase to
such an extent as to become of themselves a source of irritation and
disease. It is under these conditions that INTESTINAL WORMS become the
subject of medical treatment.
