54 ' Diseases of the Horse. 



these swellings may appear on any part of the body; thev 

 may disappear only to appear on some other part. They 

 are usually more prevalent around the head. Small blis- 

 ters sometimes appear and when broken discharge an am- 

 ber colored liquid, which scalds when it comes in contact 

 with the skin, causing the hair to loosen and drop ofif. 

 Where ever these blisters break, it leaves an unhealthy 

 sore which is difficult to heal. In the nostrils can be ob- 

 served small purple spots; these often slough and leave 

 unhealthy sores. If these swellings take place within 

 the internal organs, to any great extent, death will be the 

 result from external haemorrhage or bleeding. 



TREATMENT: — Great benefit will be accomplished 

 by placing the animal in a clean, well ventilated, warm 

 and dry stall, with sufficient quantity and change of food 

 to green vegetables, if they can be had ; if not, feed any- 

 thing the animal relishes. If the horse is constipated give 

 as a mild laxative the following: 



Spirits of Turpentine One ounce. 



Rav/ Linseed Oil One pint. Mix. 



And give as a drench. This is all that will be necessary 

 to regulate the bowels. Follow this by giving our

If the animal is very weak and debilitated, give three 

 ounces of whisky twice daily. Do 'not disturb the swell- 

 ings on the limbs or body, as you will only aggravate 

 them ; the less they are interfered with the better. But 

 if the swellings of the head, nostrils, mouth or throat in- 

 terfere with breathing or eating, with a clean knife scarify 

 or make small incisions. Bathing the swellings of the 

 head with hot water sometimes gives slight relief.
