Manual of veterinary homeopathy : $b comprising diseases of horses, cattle, sheep, hogs, dogs and poultry and their homeopathic treatment
Humphreys, F. (Frederick)
Homeopathic veterinary medicine
If, at the commencement or during the progress of the disease, fever and
inflammatory symptoms should also exist, then alternate the A.A., with
the F.F., at the intervals mentioned.
If the attack has clearly been occasioned by an _over-feed_, or by bad,
heavy, indigestible food, it will be best to alternate the J.K., with
F.F., at the intervals directed.
The colic not unfrequently comes from the kidneys, which may be
suspected by the horse making frequent attempts at staling, or his
passing scanty, thick or bloody urine. In these cases, give fifteen
drops of H.H., every half hour, alone or in alternation, with the A.A.
Should there be suspicion that Bots or Worms are an exciting cause, the
D.D., may be alternated with F.F., fifteen drops every half hour or
hour.
N. B.—In cases of colic the greatest danger and the worst possible fault
is injudicious haste and giving _too many and improper things_.
Thousands of horses are killed by the drugs given to cure colic where
one dies of the disease itself. Give only HUMPHREYS’ REMEDIES, and at
the intervals as directed, however urgent as the case may appear. Your
success and safety are in following the directions implicitly.
Tympanitis, Drum-Belly, or Wind-Colic
This is merely a form of colic characterized by an enormous production
of flatulence. The pain is sharper, the animal more furious and violent
than in ordinary colic; the belly on both sides is more or less swelled
with wind; there are rumbling noises and frequent discharges of wind. It
is usually the result of eating or gorging with green, flatulent food.
TREATMENT.—Give fifteen drops of F.F., every half hour, or even more
frequently if the case is very urgent. It will soon be relieved.
Afterwards, a few doses of J.K., fifteen drops morning and night, will
be of benefit.
Enteritis, Inflammation of the Bowels, Red Colic
There are two varieties of this disease, one in which the external coats
of the intestines are inflamed, and attended with constipation, and the
other, in which there is irritation of the internal mucous surface of
the intestines, and attended with purging.
The most frequent CAUSE is sudden cold upon a warm, perspiring skin, or
even a cold drink when very hot; over-fed horses, subjected to long and
severe exercise, are most liable to it; stones and hard dung in the
bowels; and especially colic badly treated, and drugged with all sorts
of medicines, often terminates in Inflammation of the Bowels.
