Cystitis] 53 [Dandruff 



a warm solution of boracic acid, Condy's fluid 

 well diluted, or one per cent, solution of Pearson's 

 disinfectant fluid. Stop bleeding by applying 

 pressure with fingers, or a pad of absorbent 

 boracic wool, and bandage. When very severe, 

 apply a ligature to the vessel above the part. 



After cleaning the wound and stopping the 

 bleeding, the edges of the cut should be brought 

 together with a few stitches, about a sixth of an 

 inch apart ; a pad of some disinfectant gauze 

 applied, also a bandage. If no swelling or dis- 

 charge, the dressing need not be disturbed for 

 about six days, when the stitches can be removed. 

 Afterwards re-bandage for another day to protect 

 the part from dog's tongue.
