_Treatment._ In the earlier stages, hygienic measures alone may suffice to check. A warm, dry, comfortable piggery, emollient and astringent drinks, such as sheep’s head broth, oatmeal and other gruels acidulated with vinegar or buttermilk, an emetic (six grains of tartar emetic); a dose of physic (four croton beans powdered and given in the food, or from two to three ounces of castor oil), and if the patient will permit it a flannel bandage or piece of sheepskin round the throat. If the symptoms are more threatening it is recommended to bleed from the ears and tail; to apply a linseed meal poultice round the throat to hasten the formation of abscess, or in the absence of such indications to employ a mustard poultice made with spirits of turpentine, or rugs wrung out of boiling water, to the same part. Local astringent and caustic applications to the throat are the most promising, applied by means of a whalebone prob as recommended for other animals, the mouth being held open by a noose round the upper jaw. Sodium sulphite, silver nitrate, potassium permanganate, hydrochloric acid diluted, and tincture of iodine, may be employed. When the gangrenous stage has been reached all treatment is useless. LARYNGITIS IN THE DOG. Sore throat is chiefly seen in pampered pets and in hunting dogs, as the greyhound. In the latter class it is the result of chills, a cold ducking when heated, cold damp kennels, etc. It is sometimes almost the only manifestation of distemper. _Symptoms._ Dullness, impaired appetite, a slight cough becoming more frequent and paroxysmal. These paroxysms give rise to accelerated and panting breathing, and if severe, to the ejection of a glairy yellow (bilious) material from the stomach. There is also running from the nose and frequent sneezing. The dull muffled bark has led to the supposition of _rabies_ but it has no resemblance whatever to the characteristic cry of _rabies_ while beginning like an impulsive bark merges into an agonized and baffled howl. Accelerated pulse, elevated temperature, reddened fauces and swollen tonsils are marked symptoms. Sometimes a short, dry cough obstinately remains after the disease has apparently subsided. _Treatment._ Attend to general comfort, steam the nostrils, give a laxative if costive, and follow with iodide of potassium or salammoniac (5 grains) repeated thrice daily. Apply a mustard poultice to the throat. PHARYNGITIS. SORE THROAT. Causes. Symptoms, larynx insensible, tender parotid and submaxillary swelling, cough mucous, difficult swallowing with gurgling, liquids returned by nose, buccal mucosa hot and red, salivation, chronic cases. Treatment, medicated drinks and electuaries. ANGINA PHARYNGEA. CYNANCHE PHARYNGEA. Inflammation of the pharynx owes its existence to the same _causes_ as _Laryngitis_.
