CONSTIPATION, OR BOUND BOWELS. 273 



SYMPTOMS. The clog has sudden pain in the 

 bowels ; it comes on in fits, is worse at one time than 

 another. The dog is restless, frequently changing 

 his position ; he extends himself and then draws 

 himself in, turns his head towards his sides, throws 

 himself down, rolls about, moans or whines, when 

 the pain is severe, with a short, rough voice. 



TREATMENT. The SPECIFIC for COLIC, F F, 

 should be given, a dose from three to five drops, ac- 

 cording to the size of the clog, and repeated every 

 half-hour or hour as the urgency of the case de- 

 mands. 



Should it not promptly relieve, the SPECIFIC for 

 FEVER, A A, or that for CONSTIPATION, J J, may be 

 given alternately with that for COLIC. 



Constipation, or Bound Bowels. 



Constipation is more frequently observed than 

 diarrhea in a clog. It may be the result of a want 

 of proper exercise, improper food, or some disorder 

 of the liver or other part of the digestive system. It 

 is manifested by frequent unavailing efforts to evac- 

 uate, attended with groaning, trembling, or other 

 manifestations of pain. It may result in mange or 

 even inflammation unless relieved. 



TREATMENT Give the SPECIFIC for CONSTIPA- 

 TION, J J, three to five drops, according to the size 

 of the animal, three times per day. 



Should this course not relieve, an injection of 

 warm soap and water should be given, and repeated 

 if necessary until the result is accomplished.
