306 SURFEITS. 



Surfeits. 



What is known by the name of a surfeit, is nothing" more 

 than a more irritable variety of mang-e. Thus, when a sud- 

 den inflammatory eruption appears over the integuments of 

 the body, with the usual accompaniments of great heat and 

 redness, it is termed a surfeit. When, also, a number of 

 dry bare blotches present themselves, without much heat 

 or redness, they are called the same. These inflamma- 

 tory states of the skin are very commonly the effect of some 

 sudden excitement in the habit ; thus bitches, after pupping", 

 frequently break out into extensive eruptive spots or inflamed 

 patches ; sometimes accompanied with ulceration also. Si- 

 milar appearances occur often to dogs after distemper, or 

 from a removal from a spare to a very full diet without pre- 

 paration. The proper treatment is detailed under Mange,
