DOG DISEASES 213 



if water is put into her mouth she laps it; the 



day before she has a fit she makes a queer noise 



in her throat, and after it is over she coughs, at 



other times she is well and lively. I have had her 



examined by three veterinarians, with no result, 



treated her for worms, tapeworm, indigestion, 



nervousness, and she is not constipated; has no 



heart trouble.

 little camphor w^ater 3 times a day and put her on 

 mild diet of dog-meat broth and broken up pieces 

 of bread baked to a golden brown in the oven. 

 Give plenty of milk and little exercise for two or 

 three weeks. 



HOOKWORM 



(1) English setter dog, fourteen months old, 

 is big in bone, but does not take on flesh, although 

 he has a ravenous appetite. I have given him 

 areca nut about three times since he was six 

 months old, and on each time he passed a bloody 

 mucus, which did not stop until he was treated 

 by a veterinarian. This dog seems to be in good 

 health, but when hunted for about three hours 

 becomes very weak and sometimes can hardly 

 walk. What treatment would you suggest?
