Bronchitis] 3^ [Bronchitis 



Treatment: The principal thing to do in these 

 cases is to give a diet composed entirely of raw 

 meat, cut up in small pieces, given three times a 

 day, so as not to overload the stomach at any time. 

 Also after each meal give from one * to seven drops 

 of tincture nux vomica, according to the size of 

 the dog, in a little water, immediately after 

 food, or for a change, from three * to six grains of 

 lacto-peptin. 



In some cases I have attempted to relieve these 

 distressing symptoms by an operation, that is by 

 removing the false palate, but it has not been 

 altogether a success, though I have sometimes 

 thought it has given some relief. Of course an 

 operation of this kind must be done under the 

 influence of chloroform.
