SYMPTOMS.—The discharge is yellowish or like cream and in some cases
greenish. It may be discharged in clots, or of some thickness,
constantly flowing, or snorted out in quantities; it may come from both
nostrils, but generally only from the left. The glands under the left
jaw are often fixed, hard, and painful. The membrane of the nose has a
lead color. The discharge may stop for a time, and then come on again,
more profuse than before. After continuing a long time, the animal
becomes thin and poor, and may finally die.
TREATMENT.—Give fifteen drops of C.C., three times per day. It will be
found quite sufficient to entirely control and finally arrest it in
recent cases, and will not fail to benefit even the most inveterate.
Pleurisy, Pneumonia, Inflammation of the Chest
The pleura is the delicate serous membrane, covering the lungs with one
surface, and lining the cavity of the chest with the other. Systematic
writers treat of the inflammation of this membrane, Pleurisy, and that
of the substance of the lungs, Pneumonia, separately. But as this rarely
occurs in fact, and leads to no practical result in the treatment, and
indeed can be rarely detected before death, I prefer the more practical
course of treating them together. An inflammation of the lungs rarely or
never remains so, but eventually involves the pleura more or less, and
so an inflammation of the pleura always involves more or less
extensively, the pulmonary substance.
CAUSES.—Catarrh, Influenza, Cold, or bronchial irritation may, either of
them, terminate in this disease if neglected, or from fresh exposure. A
sudden transition from heat to cold; change from a warm stable to a
colder one; neglect of the usual blanketing, or even of other comforts;
hard and long riding against a cold wind in snowy weather; loitering in
an exposed, bleak place, when the horse is fatigued and warm, without
covering. It sometimes occurs when horses are suddenly turned out to
grass, or when they have been taken up and turned into a very warm
stable. Injuries, contusion, rupture, or great violence done to the
chest, is quite sure to be followed by Pleurisy.
