Diseases of the Horse. 11 



SYMPTOMS:— The animal suddenly falls to the 

 ground, loosing the power both of feeling and motion; 

 breathing slow and deep; the head is hot. If the pres- 

 sure is limited, unconc^iousness will last only for a short 

 time, and with proper attention the animal will recover ; 

 but will ever afterwards be unsafe for carriage use, as after 

 having one attack, another may occur at any moment, 

 and during these fats the horse may become unmanageable, 

 and can only be controlled by a greater power than his 

 own. If the attack is severe, it usually proves fatal; and 

 if the animal should recover, paralysis is sure to be pres- 

 ent in some portion of the body. 



TREATMENT:— Apply chopped ice in bags, or cold 

 water cloths to the head. Keep the head elevated. Keep 

 lip a circulation and warmth in the limbs, by rubbing 

 them; apply a little mustard and bandage with flannel.

 that it can swallow, give the following: 



Powdered Aloes one ounce. 



Calomel one drachm. 



Powdered Gentian two drachms.
