solution of nitrate of silver, or injection with some other germicide
may be resorted to.
In case the fever is of a low type, liquor of the acetate of ammonia (4
ozs.), salammoniac (¼ oz.), or even carbonate of ammonia (½ oz.), may be
given several times a day, with sweet spirits of nitre (½ oz.) and
tincture of gentian (1 oz.) Alcoholic stimulants are often used.
Inhalations of iodine and iodide of potassium with ether and chloroform
are often successful.
SIMPLE CORYZA IN CATTLE.
Coryza mild in cattle. General treatment. Coryza in sheep from
exposure, intemperate seasons, clipping. Acute and chronic. Wholesale
treatment in flocks. Coryza in pigs. Coryza in dogs, simple,
secondary. Treatment, food, laxative, febrifuge, nauseating,
expectorant, antiseptic, gaseous, electric.
This is usually a very simple malady when confined to the nasal
chambers, and not of infective origin. When, on the other hand, it
attacks the sinuses it becomes a disease of extreme gravity. (See
Catarrh of the Sinuses). Symptoms are as seen in the horse, but the
discharge may be overlooked because of the animal licking it out with
his tongue. Treatment does not essentially differ from that laid down
above, and recovery may be expected in seven or eight days. If a
laxative is wanted give from one to two pounds Epsom salts.
SIMPLE CORYZA IN SHEEP.
_Coryza_ is usually slight and is manifested by sneezing and running
from the nose. It occurs in animals clipped or badly sheltered during
the more inclement seasons. In the worst cases the discharge becomes
persistent and emaciation ensues so that it is necessary to interfere.
Valuable animals may be treated on the same principles as oxen, and in
the case of large flocks by shelter in a warm, dry, cleanly and airy
place and fumigations of steam and the fumes of burning sulphur repeated
daily, together with nourishing diet, such as boiled barley or other
grain, and quarter ounce doses of nitre and common salt.
CORYZA IN THE PIG.
Hogs are not very subject to this disease and are easily treated by
warm, sloppy food, and as a laxative three or four croton beans,
according to size, powdered and given in the aliment.
CORYZA IN DOGS.
