Homeopathic veterinary medicine
The horse is dull, low-spirited, and easily tired; he yawns and hangs
his head; his coat stares; sweats easily, and breathes quickly, when
slightly worked or moved. He eats little or nothing. As the disease
advances, the skin is sometimes hot and again cold; the mouth and tongue
are dry and hot; the white of the eye and nose are red; the bowels
bound; urine scanty; the eyelids swelled, partly closed, tears flow down
the face and fret the skin. The sides of the nostrils are also fretted
by the acrid discharge from them, which is sometimes very profuse. The
throat may be so inflamed that swallowing is attended with pain and
difficulty—the animal “quids” his food, and splashes the water with his
muzzle, being afraid to swallow either fluid or solid food. The throat
is painful, hot, and swelled on the outside; the glands are also
swelled, hard and painful, and sometimes come to a head. The cough is
frequent, sometimes coming on in fits, and breathing is sometimes quite
obstructed and difficult. When the disease has lasted some time, the
dung is slimy and mixed with blood, and the discharge from the nose is
sometimes bloody.
A common cold may terminate in inflammation of the bronchia or lungs, by
extending downward, or it may be cured and expend itself merely in the
nose and throat. So an Influenza may extend and involve the pulmonary
tissue, and is far more grave than is usually supposed.
TREATMENT.—When the disease commences with a chill, or any considerable
degree of fever is present, give fifteen drops of A.A., and repeat it
several times, at intervals of one or two hours. Then alternate the
Remedy E.E., with the fever medicine, at intervals of two or three
hours, until the disease is broken up and the horse is well. In case of
Influenza, even with very threatening symptoms, the E.E., and A.A.,
should be given alternately, say every two hours, in doses of fifteen
drops; keeping the animal well covered and in a warm stable. After all
the feverish symptoms have disappeared, only the E.E., will be required,
and the intervals between the doses may be prolonged as the animal
improves. In case the discharge from the nose is profuse or thick and
excoriating, or when the sore throat is present, or predominates, C.C.,
is better than the E.E., and may be given alone, or better, in
alternation with A.A.
When the _legs become swelled_, with _scanty urine_, H.H., should be
interposed, either alone or in alternation with C.C., at the same
intervals and doses, and this may be continued to the conclusion of the
case, either alone or in alternation with the E.E.
