Nails] T ^S [Nasal 



application of tar ointment, which should be well 

 rubbed into the nails twice a day. The frequent 

 application of glycerine is also a good remedy. 

 In very bad cases, especially when only one nail 

 is affected, it may be extracted. 



When a nail has grown too long and injured 

 the pad, the nail should be cut close to the quick 

 without making it bleed ; and when there is any 

 festering, hot bread or linseed-MEAL poultices 

 should be applied for a day or so. Afterwards 

 the wound should be dressed with boracic 

 ointment, and the foot kept in a canvas bag 

 for a few days. 



When a dew-claw becomes broken, it is nearly 

 always through the quick. In such cases it is 

 necessary to remove the claw by extraction with 

 a pair of tooth forceps, and not by cutting, or the 

 quick will be injured, and the nail will grow 

 deformed. Afterwards anoint the raw surface 

 with boracic ointment, cover over with a pad 

 of boracic wool and bandage. 



Nasal Catarrh: 



Symptoms : Sneezing ; a watery discharge from 

 nose, followed by a semi -purulent discharge 

 and coughing ; but unlike distemper, the 

 attack is seldom accompanied by fever and 

 with little loss of condition, and as a rule, the 

 dog is better in a few days. 



Treatment: Put in a dry, warm room of a 

 temperature about 60 degs. F. ; give a dose of 

 aperient medicine as from two 1 to ten grains of 

 jalapin.
