Homeopathic veterinary medicine
Give with the first indication of the disease, the A.A., which repeat at
intervals of three hours, in doses of fifteen drops. This may be
continued one, two or more days, so long as the pulse is quick, mouth
hot, or general fever, or swelled, reddish eyes. When, however, _the
throat_ is found to be sore, _glands_ under the jaws _swelled or tender_
on pressure, or there is a discharge from the nose, the C.C., is more
appropriate, and should be substituted for the A.A., and the same doses
given at the same intervals. If, however, there is yet with the above
fever and heat, the two remedies may be given alternately—first A.A.,
then C.C., at intervals of three hours between the doses.
After the _legs_ and _sheath_ have begun to swell, the H.H., is in
order, and should be given to rouse into activity the urinary secretion,
and so reduce the swelling. Give then the H.H., every three hours, in
alternation with the C.C., and so continue until the disease is arrested
and the patient is convalescent. Too great care cannot be exercised when
the legs are swelled, to _let the horse stand_, not to move or exercise
the patient, as the movement or exercise while the legs are swelled or
hot, invariably aggravates the difficulty, and may cause it to extend to
the lungs or other important organs. Take the feed away, or keep the
feed very low, no grain, only a bran-mash, or pick at a little hay, and
let the horse stand, and the swelling will disappear with the use of the
medicines mentioned. If from cold or exposure, or an extension of the
morbid process, the _lungs should become involved_ and Pneumonia be
present, the disease will require to be treated by the A.A., and E.E.,
as directed for that disease, which see.
Any weakness, or loss of appetite or condition, remaining as a sequel of
the disease, will be removed by the use of J.K., giving fifteen drops
three times a day.
Cough
Cough is so well known as to require no description. It is in almost all
cases a mere symptom of some disease or morbid condition of the air
passages, such as a cold, bronchitis, catarrh, or other more serious
affection of the chest, upon the cure of which it disappears. In some
cases, however, this affection is so slight as to occasion only cough as
a symptom of its existence, and the cough may be said to be idiopathic.
Continued cough predisposes to inflammation, yet some horses have a
slight cough for years without being otherwise unwell. Other coughs are
connected with thick wind, broken wind, glanders, worms and indigestion.
TREATMENT.—For chronic coughs fifteen drops of E.E., morning and night.
In complicated or recent cases, the Remedy may be given four times per
day. Sometimes the A.A., is more efficient, even when no fever or heat
is apparent. For catarrhal coughs, give C.C., either alone or in
alternation with A.A.
