=Dyspepsia=:
_Symptoms_: Distention and discomfort after food, which is not eaten with
usual relish. Action of bowels variable, sometimes constipated, at other
times loose; occasionally vomiting after food. Tongue, instead of being
of a nice pink colour, is brick-red. Dog drinks more than usual. There is
loss of spirits and condition, and a disinclination to exercise.
_Treatment_: First give a purge as from 2 to 10 grains[1] of jalapine.
Repeat dose in a week; also give following mixture:—
_Recipe_:
Bicarbonate of Soda, 2 drachms.
Tr. Rhubarb, 3 ”
Tr. Gentian, 4 ”
Tr. Nux Vomica, 1 drachm.
Liquor Bismuth, 1 ounce.
Water to 6 ounces.
_Doses_: One teaspoonful to one tablespoonful[1] three time a day half
an hour before food. After food give from one to 5 grains[1] of ingluvin
after each meal.
Dogs suffering from dyspepsia should be treated for worms.
_Diet_: In bad cases, for a few days give milk with Benger’s food, also
milk mixed with equal parts Vichy water to drink; later feed entirely on
lean raw meat for a time, given three times a day; if it is refused quite
raw, try it lightly grilled. Well-boiled tripe, or sheep’s brains boiled
in milk, may also be offered.
=Dysuria=:
_Symptoms_: Frequent passing of water, which is generally of a clear
water colour, the dog at times passing it unconsciously whilst standing.
In some cases the urine may be cloudy or even tinged with blood, when
there is a stone in the bladder or kidney.
_Treatment_: When due to simple irritation of the kidneys or bladder,
and there is an absence of stone, small doses of opium should be given,
from an eighth to a grain[1] three times a day. When the symptoms are the
result of calculus, the cause must be removed by operation. In dysuria
the supply of water should be limited, or barley water or skimmed milk
given instead of plain water.
=Ear-ache=:
_Symptoms_: Shaking of the head, which is often held on one side; pain on
pressure. There is generally an absence of discharge as in canker of the
ear.
