Book excerpt: Excerpt from Veterinary Notes: Delivered by Prof. A Smith, on the Causes, Symptoms and Treatment of the Diseases of Domestic Animals, Before the Class of Veterinary Students, at the Ontario Veterinary College, of Toronto, Canada, During the Terms of 1890-91 Treatment - Plenty of pure air is very necessary if the feet and legs are cold, have them well hand-rubbed and bandaged Give nitrate of potash and chlorate of potash. Be very careful in giving a drench; give chlorate of potash, two to four drachms in tepid water two or three times a day. Use judicious counter irritation; equal parts of ammonia, tur pentine and oil; or rub mustard well into the skin and wash off in two or three hours, it may be necessary to use stronger remedies, such as biniodide of mercury or cantharides. If the breathing is very difficult, you may in some cases give inhalation of chloroform give any food that the animal will take well; but if he will eat soft food it is the best. Give plenty of cold water. And it is sometimes necessary to perform the operation of tracheotomy; and there are other remedies you may use. You may find benefit from the use of camphor one drachm, tincture bella dona one-half drachm, Opium one-half drachm, or digitalis one.half drachm, nitrate of potash two drachms, licorice two drachms, ipecacuanha one-half drachm. If a cough is present use counter irritation, and give iodide of potassium one drachm, morning and night. Nasal Gleet, chronic catarrh, or ozaena. There is a glary discharge from one or both nostrils. It is a sub-acute in ammation; the frontal or maxillary sinuses are the parts affected. The discharge varies accord ing to the length of time and to the seat of the disease. Causes. - Neglected catarrh, especially if exposed to cold and not al lowed a sufficient amount of food. Exposure by running to a strawstack, etc., or an injury to the frontal sinus if sufficient to fracture the bone or even to injure the blood vessels inside of the bone, or from a carious tooth. Nasal gleet is a symptom of bad teeth, or of inspissated or dried pus. A tumor may produce it, or the introduction of a foreign substance into the nasal chambers, by endeavouring to swallow something and expelling it into the nasal chambers.
