TREATMENT.—In all cases of Fever, the A.A., is the first and generally
the only remedy required. Give fifteen drops at intervals of two or
three hours, at first, and by degrees at longer intervals as the animal
improves.
Glanders and Farcy
The disease is termed Glanders when it is principally confined to the
head and nose, and called Farcy when manifesting itself in the
lymphatics.
SYMPTOMS OF GLANDERS.—_Constant_ discharge from one or both nostrils,
more frequently from one, and that the left; the discharge is at first
thin and watery, afterward thick like the white of egg. It may continue
in this way for some time, or it soon becomes more mattery, sticky, then
greenish or yellowish, or mixed with streaks of blood, and having a bad
smell. Soon after this discharge is noticed, the glands under the jaw
become painful and swollen, and one of them appears fixed to the
jaw-bone. Then the membrane lining the inside of the nose has a
yellowish or leaden color, which is considered characteristic of the
disease; small bladders are noticed upon it, which afterward are changed
to ulcers; these have sharp borders, and spread and deepen until the
gristle and bones beneath become ulcerated. When ulcers appear upon the
membrane of the nose, the constitution of the horse is evidently
involved; he loses flesh; his belly is tucked up; coat unthrifty and the
hair readily comes off; the appetite impaired; the strength fails;
cough, more or less urgent, may be heard; the lungs become filled with
abscesses, wasting goes on, and the animal soon dies.
FARCY.—Upon the face, lips and other portions of the body, but
especially upon the legs, hard, painful and hot lumps are felt, which
are called _Farcy buds_; they increase in size, with pain and heat,
until the ulceration works through the skin and a thin discharge flows
out. Between these lumps along the course of the lymphatics, hardened
cords are felt; the groin, inside the thighs, and space between the fore
legs and chest, become, from the tumefaction of these lymphatics,
swelled and very painful; the legs are swelled, together with the usual
discharge of glanders.
TREATMENT.—In suspected cases were the disease is not well developed or
recognized give fifteen drops of the C.C., every two hours.
N. B.—It should be remembered that a well marked case of glanders is
_highly contagious_. Not only may the disease be communicated to other
animals, but the glandered matter coming in contact with a cut, abraded
or sore surface in the human subject, will be liable to result as a very
severe, if not fatal, case of poisoning. Prudence demands that we should
handle such animals with great caution, and a thoroughly glandered
animal had much better be killed at once than endanger other animals or
the lives of human beings, and the more so as the chance of recovery in
such a case is very remote.
