General Management in Disease 



Apply a Unseed poultice for 2 or 3 days, and 

 then dress with an antiseptic, or Carbolic Oil, etc. 



Paralysis 



Any organ, or portion of the body, may be in a 

 paralytic condition, the paralysis representing a 

 loss of functional power, and such loss may be 

 either temporary or permanent. Paralysis of the 

 body may be complete or partial, and affect the 

 right or left side. When a bone in the limb is 

 fractured the part below the seat of the injury is 

 in a temporary state of paralysis. Again in 

 Amaurosis (or glass eye) the eye is paralytic. 

 Internal organs, such as the bowels, bladder, 

 larynx, etc., are not uncommonly paralytic. 

 Paralysis arising from injuries to the spinal cord is 

 usually incurable, and the same remark is applicable 

 to morbid growths pressing upon the nerves. 

 Paralysis of the tongue is not uncommon in the 

 horse and is incurable, whilst facial paralysis, 

 affecting one or both sides varies in its termination. 

 Paralysis frequently occurs in cows before or 

 after calving, likewise in dogs at, or about the 

 time of distemper. It is sometimes brought about 

 by constipation in which case a purgative, or 

 enema, should be administered. Treatment neces- 

 sarily varies in accordance with the cause.
