weeks. A maiden bitch in this condition is very- 

 restless and wretched. She appears to be always 

 looking for puppies. She will walk about with 

 her tail down, crying, and occasionally scratches 

 and rakes at her bed, and twists round and round 

 as if making a nest. 



Treatment: In the first instance, rub the 

 glands with warm salad oil to soften them, and 

 draw some milk off nio-ht and morning. In the 

 second case, simply draw some of the milk off, 

 and avoid if possible putting anything on the 

 glands, in case you should injure the puppies or 

 put them off their feed. In the case of bitches 

 having milk who have not been pregnant, 

 purgative medicine — castor oil is the best — 

 should be given once or twice a week, and 

 the glands rubbed with camphorated spirits, or 

 dabbed with a lotion made with two table- 

 spoonfuls of gin and half a pint of water. 

 When the milk collects in large quantities as 

 to cause discomfort, it must be drawn off; but 

 this should be avoided if possible, as it has a 

 tendency to stimulate secretion. Give the food 

 dry ; biscuits are the best. 



It is most important to thoroughly attend to 

 maiden bitches when in this condition, otherwise 

 the milk curdles and becomes hard, and this is 

 the commencement of mammary tumours. 



Larynx (Inflammation of) : 



Symptoms : A dry, husky cough, the dog after 

 coughing retches as if about to vomit. If 

 neglected, may go on to bronchitis. It is very 

 contagious.
