Diuresis, too Profuse Staling In consequence of bad food, such as kiln-dried oats, mow-burnt hay, or of such medicines as nitre, or other diuretics, a horse may have an excessive flow of urine. The symptoms are: The horse does not eat much, sweats easily, is soon tired, the bowels are costive, skin dry and coat rough, tongue white and there is great thirst. The water is quite clear and milky, passed often, and in large quantities. As the disease advances, the horse eats little, he gets thinner and weaker every day, breath often offensive; the dung is hard, lumpy and covered with slime; the hair stands on end, and the flow of urine becomes enormous. If not cured, death ensues. TREATMENT.—The food must be changed, and none but the best given. Change of food is always of service under such circumstances. Give fifteen drops of J.K., four times per day. This will often be efficient. DIABETES MELLITIS, which is a rare disease in the horse should not be confounded with DIURESIS, which is manifested by an _increased_ flow of urine. In Diabetes Mellitis the water is clear or greenish, limpid, _sweetish_, and soon accompanied with great debility and loss of flesh, usually ending fatally. Parturition in Mares Rarely requires either manual or medicinal assistance. A dose of A.A., given in the earlier stages of labor often quiets the restlessness and allays the wandering pains, and this conduces to the greater regularity of the process. If the labor becomes tedious or delays, a dose of G.G., repeated if necessary every two hours, will relax the parts and assist the expulsion pains. Self-Abuse, Seminal Emissions A very common habit among race horses is self-abuse. As soon as young horses are stabled, from idleness, over-excitement or urinary irritation, they may begin to masturbate, and it very often increases, impairing their strength, and rendering them worthless and uncertain foal-getters, or demanding castration. The phenomena are well known and do not require a particular description. The common practice with horsemen or trainers is to put on them what is called a “net,” an apron armed with sharp pointed tacks, so when the yard is protruded, the tacks prick him, and he draws it in. But many horses, with a little practice, become so expert that they can avoid striking the apron, and in most cases it seems rather to increase than diminish the habit. The usual Veterinary Surgeons advise camphor, which, if given is sufficiently large quantities to diminish the habit, will notably and permanently impair the vitality and vigor of the horse. DR. HUMPHREYS’ VETERINARY REMEDIES, by _arresting_ and _lessening_ the _irritation_ and _morbid desire_, _prevent the habit_, and thus, reducing the morbid desire, promote and increase the natural vigor and development of the animal.
