INFLx\MED BOWELS. 

 This produces fimilar fymptoms to the above; 

 but the diftrefs is not fo great. I have feen feveral 

 dogs under this complaint who have appeared tole- 

 rably lively, and even not refufed their food till 

 within a very ftiort time of death. The inceflant 

 thirfl and vomiting in this is the fame as in the 

 former, only the ficknefs is not fo immediate on 

 taking any thing as in inflamed flomach. The cure 

 mufl be attempted, as in inflamed lungs, by bleed- 

 ing and bliftering, united in this cafe with warm 

 bathins:. 



LOOSENESS. 



The purging of dogs may be ufually checked by 

 ftarch, fuet and milk^ or rice gruel, in common cafes: 

 as medicines, rhubarb, ginger, opium, and chalk, are 

 proper ; but for the cure it is necelTary to afcertain 

 the caufe producing the affedlion, which, in many 

 inftances being very different, mufl render the treat- 

 ment fo likewife. It is a very common attendant on 

 diftemper, when the Diftemper Powder frequently 

 checks it. It is as frequent, likewife, a fymptom of 

 worms ; when a proper worm purgative, by removing 

 the caufe of the iiritation, would ftop the loofenefs.
