Mix. Apply twice a day. Avoid the parts near eyes. Or the application of kerosene, just dabbed on, may be tried. In obstinate cases a single painting over the bare parts with liquor epipasticus is useful. This remedy should only be applied to a small part of the skin at one time. =Amaurosis=: _Symptoms_: A disease of the eyes attended with a diminution or total loss of sight—result, paralysis of nerves of the eye. The eyes are clear, with pupils largely dilated, which do not contract when exposed to strong light. _Treatment_: Generally incurable. Following lotion may be tried:— _Recipe_: Sulphate Eserine, ½ grain. Distilled Water to 1 ounce. One or two drops to be placed in the eye three times a day. Tincture nux vomica, from one[1] to five drops, should be given in water three times a day after food. A blister or seton may be tried at the back of the head (pole). =Anæmia=: _Symptoms_: Mouth and eyes pale, caused by deficiency in quantity and quality of the blood. Loss of condition, often great thirst, constipation. The dog is very languid. _Treatment_: Good food—plenty of under-done or raw meat, also milk. The arsenic and iron pills recommended for eczema. If there is constipation, add from two to twelve grains of rhubarb to each dozen pills. When the stomach is very irritable, from a half to three grains[1] of reduced iron may be tried alone. The dose should be given three times a day with the food. =Anæsthetics=: The best way to administer chloroform is by one of Krohne & Sesemann’s inhalers. When this is used, it is almost impossible to have any bad results, as the chloroform is given so slowly. Failing one of these appliances, it may be given on a napkin folded so as to make a pouch in which the nose should be put; but it is necessary to muzzle the dog before commencing, otherwise he will be sure to bite the operator. In giving chloroform it is necessary to commence with very small quantities; about twenty[1] drops to half a drachm should be poured inside the pouch formed in the napkin, and then placed over the dog’s nose. This should be repeated every two or three minutes until the dog lies quietly, and the eye is insensible to the touch. When a dog is under the influence of chloroform it is most important to watch the breathing, and if it becomes very slow, discontinue giving the chloroform immediately. If the breathing stops, remove the muzzle, draw the tongue out as far as it will come, and hold to the nose, on a piece of lint, a few drops of strong ammonia, and resort to artificial respiration. Dogs always struggle very much against taking chloroform, therefore one should always be prepared with one or more assistants to hold the dog securely whilst it is being administered.
