TREATMENT.—Bathe the feet three or four times per day in HUMPHREYS’ MARVEL WITCH HAZEL, or apply HUMPHREYS’ VETERINARY OIL, and give, morning and night, a dose of three or five drops of A.A. If matter forms, a poultice may be applied, and the abscess afterwards opened. Fractures Simple fractures of the leg are very readily cured in young and vigorous dogs. It may be readily known by the distortion of the limb, by the ends of the bone grating upon each other, lameness, etc. TREATMENT is very simple. Extend the limb and put the bones in place, and apply splints with a firm bandage, wetting the limb with HUMPHREYS’ MARVEL WITCH HAZEL. Examine them from time to time to see that they are kept in place. After three or four weeks they may be removed, and the animal trusted to use its limbs. Give B.B., night and morning, for a few days, three or five drops, according to the size of the animal. Hemorrhage Occasionally dogs discharge blood from the nose, mouth or anus, after a long run, after going uphill, or after blows or other external injuries. Consideration should be given to the specific cause. Arnica, internally and externally, will often be found curative, or a dose of A.A. For an alarming hemorrhage, give a spoonful of HUMPHREYS’ MARVEL, WITCH HAZEL, and repeat it every hour if necessary. PART V. Diseases of Swine and Hogs CHAPTER I. Hogs have at times been known to have practically all of the diseases common to other domestic animals. However, in spite of unsanitary surroundings and manner of life, these diseases are very rare, and (in the United States) when a hog gets sick it probably has hog cholera. Hog Cholera There are two forms of hog cholera, the acute, and the chronic: however, since the only difference of importance is the length of time the disease takes to kill the hog, it is not worth while to try to decide which form it is. SYMPTOMS.—The hog has fever; appears dull and sleepy; lies down and does not want to rise or move about; the eyes are red and bloodshot, with a discharge which often glues the eyelids together; and a watery diarrhea. TREATMENT.—There is no known cure for hog cholera; prevention is the only thing. In this respect the serum gotten up by the U. S. Department of Agriculture has done more than anything else to eradicate the disease. There are two methods of inoculating the hog, the single and the double. In the double method the anti-toxin is injected into the hog and also a quantity of the disease germs, this produces a lasting immunity. In the single method the anti-toxin alone is used, this only produces a transient immunity unless the hog is soon after exposed to the disease, in which case the immunity becomes lasting.
