214 THE AMERICAN HUNTING DOG 



(2) Setter bitch, three years old, has a dry, 

 hacking cough until hunted for about half an 

 hour. Her eyes usually run when she coughs. 

 Advise treatment. 



Ans. — (1) Possibly your dog is infected with 

 hookworms. Better have a microscopical exam- 

 ination made of the fecal matter to see if it con- 

 tains the eggs of the hookworm. 



(2) Examine her throat for goitre; if no goi- 

 tre is present give a good expectorant cough 

 syrup, which can be obtained from your druggist. 



WORM REMEDY 



Would you be kind enough to inform me what 



and how much to use as a worm remedy for a 



four-months-old Pomeranian? 



Dr. M. Benson. 



Ans. — One-fourth teaspoonful of buckthorn 

 syrup once a week. 



WORMS 



I have obtained a fox terrier and find he has a 

 bad case of worms. He seems to feel fine in 

 every other respect. What can I do for him? 



H. T. Hutchison. 



Ans. — Buy 5 cents' worth of pumpkin seeds, 

 mash and boil half an hour and serve on his food.
