_Symptoms_: Young puppies, generally as the result of worms or during second dentition, often have convulsions. The immediate cause of the attack is generally due to excitement, more particularly on a hot day. The puppy, which may be apparently quite well, suddenly tumbles over on its side, kicks violently with its legs, champs the jaws, and froths at the mouth. In a minute it gets up, and looks about in a dazed manner; then, if not restrained, gallops off barking, not knowing where it is going. Sometimes one attack may follow another in quick succession until it dies from exhaustion. _Treatment_: The puppy should be held to prevent it knocking itself about. (I may here remark that there is not the least danger from a bite of a dog when suffering from fits of any kind.) As soon as the puppy can swallow, a dose of the following mixture must be given:— _Recipe_: Bromide of Potassium, 1 drachm. Hydrated Chloral, 1 drachm. Water to 3 ounces. _Dose_: From a teaspoonful to a tablespoonful[1] to be given every two, three, or four hours, according to the severity of the symptoms. If the puppy is unable to swallow, double the quantity should be injected into the bowel, mixed with equal quantity of tepid water. In severe cases a hot bath is beneficial; also ice may be applied to the head. Keep the puppy in a dark room for some hours after the attack. To prevent a recurrence of the convulsions, treat puppy for worms. Feed on a milk diet for a few days. =Corns=: Horny elevations which form on the pads of the feet. _Treatment_: They may be removed by cutting, or destroyed. The best way is by the application of a solution of chromic acid, one in four. It should be applied sparingly to the part with a glass rod about twice a week. =Coughs=: _Symptoms_: May arise from many causes; but a simple cough, the result of some irritation of the larynx caused by cold, is of a common occurrence during the winter and spring when the winds are cold. _Treatment_: Give following mixture:— _Recipe_: Liquor Morphia, 2 drachms. Syrup of Squills, 1 ounce. Syrup of Lemon, 1 ounce. Water to 3 ounces. _Dose_: From half a teaspoonful to a dessertspoonful three or four times a day.[1] When it is difficult to give a mixture, the following pills may be tried:— _Recipe_: Hydrochlorate of Morphia, ¼ to 1 grain.[1] Powdered Ipecacuanha, 1 to 6 grains. Powdered Rhubarb, 2 to 12 grains. Compound Squill Pill, 6 to 20 grains. Mix and divide into twelve pills, one to be given night and morning. A dose of aperient medicine should occasionally be given. =Cuts.= _Symptoms_: Division of structure, generally described as a solution of continuity; there is generally more or less bleeding.
