INFLAMMATION OF THE EAB. 265 



Canker in the Ear. 



This disease consists of an inflammation of the in- 

 ternal ear, followed by ulceration and the formation 

 of matter. It is usually the consequence of some in- 

 jury, but may also result from excess of food and 

 want of exercise, or from frequent and sudden ex 

 posure, as in case of dogs taught to go in the water, 

 among whom it is quite common ; fat dogs are more 

 subject to it than others. 



SYMPTOMS. The dog manifests pain by shaking 

 his head, scratching his ears, or whining. The internal 

 ear looks red, afterwards may ulcerate ; a discharge 

 occurs, and a blackish fluid will be found at the bot- 

 tom of the ear, sometimes in considerable quantity; 

 there is high fever, which, with the continuance of 

 the discharge, may wear out the dog. 



TREATMENT. Wash the ear frequently with warm 

 water, to carefully remove the discharge ; afterwards 

 apply some diluted MARVEL. 



Give the SPECIFIC for FEVER A A, three or four 

 drops alternately with that for ULCERATIONS, I I. 

 The same does four times per day ; it may be suc- 

 cessful. 



Inflammation of the Ear. 



This sometimes occurs from insects having made 

 their way into the ear, sometimes from Rheumatism. 

 The dog complains, shakes his head, scratches his 

 ear, howls, is restless and unquiet, and veeks for aid.
