Wounds] 34° [Wounds 



A little to be gently syringed into the wound 

 once every other day. 



In cases of fistulous wounds the result of 

 diseased bone, time must be given for the dead 

 bone to come away. The application of hot 

 linseed - meal poultices dusted over with 

 powdered charcoal do good, but it is often a 

 matter of weeks, sometimes months, before the 

 dead bone separates from the healthy bone. 

 When the case is very obstinate the services of 

 a veterinary surgeon should be obtained. 



Wounds the result of the bite of a dog suffering 

 from rabies should be immediately and freely 

 cauterised with fuming nitric acid or a saturated 

 solution of chromic acid, but unless the dog is 

 a very valuable one, he should be destroyed, 

 as it is running a great risk to keep a dog that 

 has been bitten by one suffering from this disease. 

 Besides cauterising the wound, the bitten dog 

 should be very securely isolated for three months 

 so that he cannot possibly come in contact with 

 either man or other animal.
