TREATMENT.—In all similar cases, whether incipient or fully developed,
give fifteen drops of A.A., and repeat it every quarter or half hour,
until the animal is relieved, or for twelve or twenty-four hours, and
then at intervals of say four hours, alternate it with J.K., until
restored. When this dozing, stupid condition mentioned above is present,
indicating evident congestion to the head, fifteen drops of A.A., each
morning and noon, and the same of J.K., at night, will soon restore the
animal again.
Paralysis
Paralysis, entire or partial loss of nervous power over the muscles of
certain parts or portions of the body, occasionally occurs in the horse
as a consequence of mechanical injuries, severe cold, or some internal
cause.
When occurring in the face, the muscles of one side lose the power of
motion; the lips hang down, and seem swollen, are drawn to one side, or
pulled upward; food is picked up and retained with difficulty,
mastication is imperfect, and food drops readily from the mouth.
Sometimes there is no feeling in the face or lips.
When the hinder part of the body is paralized, the horse is unable to
rise or stand, sits on his haunches like a dog, constipation and arrest
of urination are apt to be present. In slighter cases, the hind legs
sway about clumsily or he drags them after him, or even walks on his
fetlocks.
TREATMENT.—The first course in case of recent paralysis, is to give
fifteen drops of A.A., every two hours, which continue one day; then
give fifteen drops of J.K., every four or six hours, according to the
circumstances, until relieved, and then morning and night for a time.
Inflammation of the Brain, Phrenitis. Mad Staggers.
This disease is most frequently met with in entire horses, and attacks
especially those that are ardent, in high condition, but little worked;
and it is liable to be excited by a chill after being over-heated or
over-worked in hot weather. It may also arise from blows or similar
injuries on the head.
