Rheumatism Young lambs are occasionally affected with a stiff- 

 ness and lameness of joints. It may be lamb founder; but in 

 early spring is apt to be caused by lambs lying on cold, damp 

 ground. Keep yards well bedded with corn stalks or other 

 roughage, so lambs cannot lie on bare ground. 



Scours See Diarrhea. 



Scab Use any of the standard dips as directed. 



Sore Mouth Rub scab off and apply a non-poisonous carbolic sheep 

 dip. Powdered burnt alum is also effective where it can be 

 made to remain on. The seat of this trouble makes it difficult 

 to apply remedies. It will, however, usually disappear of its- 

 elf. 



Sore Eyes Cleanse with warm water and drop little witch-hazel in 

 and around eyes. 



Scum on Eyes Usually will disappear without treatment. Intro- 

 duction of any substance to cut the scum is cruel practice of 

 very doubtful necessity. Relief can be given by washing as 

 for sore eyes. 



Snotty Nose A symptom of grub in the head or a bad cold. For 

 treatment see both these headings. 



Swelling Under the Jaw This is not a disease, but the symptom of 

 several ailments. Often it accompanies an anaemic condition. 

 For general treatment see Paper Skin.
