_Artificial Respiration_: When the condition is due to partial drowning, hold the dog up, with his head downwards for a minute that the water may escape from the lungs, then place the dog on his back, draw the tongue out, and with the hand placed on the lower part of the chest—that is just where the chest and abdomen join—press downwards and forwards with some little force, then suddenly raise the hand to allow the chest to expand. This should be repeated every three or four seconds. Do not attempt to make the dog swallow whilst in an unconscious state. =Asthma=: _Symptoms_: Heavy breathing, troublesome cough. If the ear is applied to the chest a crackling noise will be heard with each inspiration. The heart is weak and the pulse irregular. _Treatment_: Aperient medicine should be given, and be repeated once or twice a week, also the following mixture: _Recipe_: Liquor Morphia, ½ to 3 drachms.[1] Hoffman’s Spirit, ½ to 3 drachms. Paregoric, 1 to 4 drachms. Syrup of Squills, 2 to 8 drachms. Water to 1½ to 6 ounces. _Doses_: One teaspoonful to a tablespoonful three or four times a day, or from ten drops to a teaspoonful of glyco-heroin in a little water may be given three or four times a day.[1] When the condition is the result of heart disease, which is often the case, give the following mixture:— _Recipe_: Tincture Digitalis, 20 drops to 1½ drachms.[1] Tincture Nux Vomica, 12 drops to 1½ drachms. Compound Sulphuric Ether, ½ to 3 drachms. Syrup, 2 drachms to 1 ounce. Water to 1½ to 6 ounces. Mix. _Doses_: From one[1] teaspoonful to one tablespoonful three times a day after food. Aperient medicine should be frequently given. _Diet_: Raw or very tender-cooked meat, given in small quantities, three times a day. No other food. =Back (injuries to)=: _See_ APPENDIX. =Bad Breath=: _Symptoms_: General result of a diseased condition of teeth, the accumulation of tartar on the teeth, and as the result, ulcers form on the gums and cheeks. Bad breath may also arise from a disordered condition of the stomach, or as a result of some disease of the lungs, or the membrane lining nasal passages. _Treatment_: Remove the cause. If it arises from the condition of the teeth, remove the tartar by scaling, and clean mouth and teeth twice daily, using a small soft tooth-brush and the following wash:— _Recipe_: Salol, 1 drachm. Tr. Myrrh, 2 drachms. Spirits of Wine, 10 drachms. Formalin, 1 drachm. Mix. Half a teaspoonful to be added to half a tumblerful tepid water. If the breath remains offensive after the mouth has been made healthy, give a pill three times a day containing from a quarter[1] to two grains of permanganate of potash, or twice a day give from two to ten grains of salol.[1]
