222 THE AMERICAN HUNTING DOG 



getting any better; if any change, is growing 

 worse. 



Any information regarding this case will be 

 appreciated. 



I have another puppy by " Cords Count Glad 

 stone " out of "Cincinnatus Mollie." What do 



you think of his breeding?

Ans. We are rather puzzled in making a diag 

 nosis of your dog's case. It seems very much 

 like distemper, but the fact that it has run for 

 four or five weeks seems to put distemper out of 

 the game, because this disease is usually over in 

 fourteen days and the dog is either convalescing 

 or dead at the end of that time. It is possible that 

 he may have a light case and be withstanding the 

 attack of the germ. 



I would suggest a hypodermic injection of two 

 cubic centimetres of either Pasteur's or Moore's 

 Anti-Distemper Toxine. Shoot this into the inside 

 of each thigh of the dog. 



I lost a dog from distemper with very much the 

 same symptoms as yours. The dog had the gastri- 

 cal form of distemper and howled pitifully after 

 every meal.
