'9th'. Slight tenesmus now appeared. It quickly became frequent and violent. The dog strained very much; but the discharge was small in quantity, and consisted of adhesive mucus. Give two drachms of castor oil, and the fever ball with opium. The cough is worse, and the dog still continues to strain, no blood, however, appearing. '11th'. The opium and oil have had their desired effect, and the cough is better. '12th', Except the animal is kept under the influence of opium, the cough is dreadfully troublesome. I have, however, obtained one point. I have been permitted to subtract four ounces of blood; but blood had been mingling with the expectorated mucus before I was permitted to have recourse to the lancet. '13th'. The dog is better, and we again have recourse to the fever mixture, to which, on the '14th', I added a very small portion of the carbonate of iron, for the dog was evidently getting weak. The sickness has returned, and the cough is decidedly worse. '16th'. Rub a small quantity of rheumatic embrocation, and tincture of cantharides. '17th.' The first application of the blister had not much effect; but this morning it began to act. The dog ran about the house as cross as he could be for more than an hour; there was considerable redness on the throat and chest. The cough, however, was decidedly better. '18th'. The cough is better. Again apply the embrocation. '19th.' The cough and huskiness have returned. Employ an emetic, and continue the embrocation. '20th'. The cough is decidedly worse. Continue the embrocation, and give the fever mixture. '23d'. The embrocation and medicine have been daily used; but the cough is as bad as ever. Balls of assafoetida, squills, and opium were had recourse to. 25th. The second ball produced the most distressing sickness, but the cough was evidently relieved. The assafoetida was discontinued. '28th'. The cough, during the last two days, has been gradually getting worse. It is more laborious and longer, and the intervals between it are shorter. Give another emetic and continue the other medicine. 30th'. The effect of the emetic was temporary, and the cough is again worse. 'Dec'. 2d'. Very little change. 5th'. The cough appears to be stationary. Again have recourse to the antimony, digitalis, and nitre. 8th'. The cough is certainly better. Try once more the assafoetida. It again produced sickness, but of a very mild character. 12th'. The assafoetida was again used used morning and night. The cough continues evidently to abate. 14th'. The dog coughs very little, not more than half-a-dozen times in the day. Notwithstanding the quantity of medicine that has been taken, the appetite is excellent, and the spirits good. 16th'. The cough is still less frequent, but when it occurs it is attended with retching. 19th'. The cough is daily getting better, and is not heard more than three or four times in the four-and-twenty hours, and then very slight.
