248 THE AMERICAN HUNTING DOG 



chunk of meat about the size of a tablespoon, and 

 a bone for her to gnaw on. You can give the 

 skimmed milk for a mid-day feed, with perhaps 

 a dog biscuit broken up into it, about a pint of 

 milk to the feeding. I would not do very much 

 with corn-mush at this time if I were you. 



CHRONIC INDIGESTION 



I have a good rabbit dog which is in excellent 

 health, has a good appetite and drinks plenty of 

 water, but he is continually opening and shutting 

 his mouth. 



I was told that he had the thumps caused by 

 over heating. 



If possible from my explanation please tell what 

 is the trouble and what will cure it. 



W. P. EECE. 



Ans. You do not say how old your rabbit dog 

 is, but if a puppy, it is quite likely afflicted with 

 worms, in which case give a teaspoonful of syrup 

 of buckthorn until cured. 



The symptoms seem to be of indigestion. Do 

 not feed him too much corn bread or potatoes. 



HOWLS IN HIS SLEEP 



We have a red cocker who seems to have the 

 nightmare.
