should be left on for at least forty-eight hours. If it is 

 considered advisable to wash hounds for vermin, a weak solution 

 of MacDougalPs sheep dip should be used. For the treatment 

 of vermin Keating 's powder, and for cuts carbolic oil must 

 always be on hand. For eczema, a dose of salts, a dressing of 

 oil and sulphur, and a diet of raw meat are advised. For 

 distemper, the most important things are to keep the hound 

 warm and to treat him as an invalid for three weeks after he is 

 apparently well. Every effort must be made to make him feed, 

 the best diet being soup, milk and fish. 



But the essence of kennel management is that the kennelman 

 should be observant, so that he at once detects any symptoms of 

 illness or lameness.
