Navel III 



The navel is the seat of disease in this complaint, 

 being the point of infection and, from this focus 

 other troubles arise, such as, joint-ill, scour, etc. 



The navel becomes swollen and reddened, and, 

 in some cases, urine issues from the opening. It 

 occurs in foals, dogs, calves and lambs ; but the 

 complications of a rheumatoid nature do not occur 

 in the dog. 



The disease spreads along the track of the cord, 

 and death may occur within a few days, hence the 

 necessity for due regard, at, or about the time of 

 birth, to cleanliness. Dust the part with a little 

 Boracic Acid Powder, or smear with Carbolic 

 Oil, etc.
