The Vet. Book 



Some cases of colic are over within half an hour, 

 whereas others continue for days, but, under these 

 circumstances, the pain is somewhat subdued; and it 

 will generally be found that cases of this nature 

 are due to indigestion, and no relief will follow till 

 the alimentary canal has been cleared with a dose 

 of physic, preferably administered in the form of 

 ball. 



It is usual to make an effort to allay the pain, 

 and for this purpose from \ to I oz. of Chlorodyne 

 may be given, or I J oz. of Laudanum and 2 oz. of 

 Sulphuric Ether in \ pt. of water. A clyster may 

 be given and the belly vigorously shampooed, but 

 the writer strongly recommends early veterinary 

 advice.

Bleeding may occur from a variety of causes, 

 as the result of either external or internal injury ;
