Homeopathic veterinary medicine
In the slow form of the disease, the alternate use of J.K. and F.F.,
four times per day, will be found most effectual in preventing a
termination in dropsy, and in restoring the animal.
Jaundice, Yellows, Diseased Liver
Young horses rarely have diseased livers, but at the age of eight or
nine years, the disease is more common, and, in some cases, quite
suddenly, the covering of the liver gives way, and symptoms of fatal
peritonitis appear.
SYMPTOMS.—Jaundice, or Yellows, is more frequent, and is marked thus:
The animal is dull, sleepy, and unwilling to move; he eats little or
nothing; the coat stares; the urine is scanty; the dung light-colored
and in lumps. The nose, tongue, eyes and mouth become yellow, from the
abundance of bile in the blood. The urine is very thick, dark-colored
and full of bile. The right side is painful when pressed against, and
the horse looks towards it, he may be lame in the right fore-leg, or paw
the ground with it. These symptoms may increase, and cough, quick
breathing, and full, quick pulse, be added, which afterwards becomes
quite weak and slow, and the legs very cold. He then becomes more and
more dull, stupid and sleepy, staggers, falls to the ground, and dies.
TREATMENT.—Rarely will anything more be required than the J.K., of which
a dose of fifteen drops may be given, four times per day.
Should there be heat, fever or inflammatory symptoms, a few doses of the
A.A., will be proper, not merely for the heat and fever, but for the
obstruction of the liver as well. In severe cases, these two remedies
may be alternated with the most brilliant success, even when there is no
fever apparent. Give fifteen drops every four hours, alternately, first
A.A., next J.K., and so on.
Costiveness, Bound Bowels
This is usually a mere symptom of some other disease, upon the removal
of which the costiveness disappears. But sometimes, in consequence of
dry food, deficient action of the liver, want of exercise, or a
paralytic condition of the digestive organs, it may require attention.
TREATMENT.—The animal should have regular exercise, green food or bran
mashes night and morning, with but little oats, or other heating or dry
food. Give fifteen drops of J.K., night and morning, and the condition
will soon be corrected.
Bots and Worms
Bots in the horse, like worms in the human system, have usually a great
many sins to answer for, which are really chargeable elsewhere. It is a
principle in the economy of nature, that one animal should feed upon or
live within another, and hence every animal, and almost every organ,
also, has its peculiar parasite or inhabitant. Such parasites are rarely
injurious. In an unhealthy condition of the system, they may unduly
accumulate, and occasion some inconvenience, but they rarely feed upon
the surface to which they are attached, but only upon the contents of
the organs in which they exist.
