DISEASES OF ANIMALS 145 



Catarrhal Enteritis. 



I have a mare that is 12 to 15 years old that has been scouring fotr 

 several months. She looks healthy in every way and her eyes are good. 

 She has a ravenous appetite and wants to drink about twice as much 

 as when she is not scouring. Her hide is not very tight and she is shed- 

 ding fairly well. There is almost a constant rumbling inside and she 

 passes gas and water every few minutes. 



The horse has catarrhal enteritis. Give her six tablets Abbotts' 

 sulpho-carbolates compound three times a day crushed up in feed or 

 dissolved in water. Also one ounce salol twice daily with one ounce 

 powdered ginger. 



Horse Urination. 



My horse will get into the position of urinating from one to five 

 or six times previous to urinating. I have given an ounce of saltpetre 

 in the feed twice a day for two weeks. Shall I continue the saltpetre 

 treatment, and for how long? 



Discontinue the saltpetre and give the following: Urotrepin 4 

 ounces, Sodium salicylate 4 ounces, Sodium Benzoinate 4 ounces, 

 Fluid extract Uva Usi 8 ounces; water enough to make one pint. 

 Give one ounce three times a day. 



Treatment for a Cough. 



A horse has a bad cough which does not seem to be epizootic, for 

 she docs not run at the nose, although she coughs up a thick matter. 



Take Glyco-heroin, 8 ounces; cod liver oil, 6 ounces; spirits 

 camphor, 2 ounces. Mix, give tablespoonful three times daily. Wet 

 hay, feed from the ground. 



Horse Caught Cold. 



Can a young horse catch cold while steady at work if not very warm, 

 by drinking cold water? I have been hauling fruit a distance of nine 

 miles and as I left home very early in the morning my horses would not 

 drink much, so I water them when about half way. I did not suppose, as he 

 was not allowed to stand after drinking, that he would take cold. Also, 

 what is the cure? 



It is highly improbable that an animal would get a cold under the 

 conditions you mention. Give 5 grains potassium bichromate in one 

 ounce of water three times a day. 



Horse's Throat Sore. 



I have a horse that runs from the bowels. He will also stand and 

 drink for fifteen or twenty minutes without taking his mouth from the 

 water; he eats every thing put before him. 



If you watch this horse closely while he is drinking you will 

 notice that the water is returning through his nose. He has pharyn-
