434 DOGS: THEIR MANAGEMENT 



pear when nothing can be detected to affect the stomach; 

 probably owing to large dogs chasing through brush- 

 wood, or those of the smaller breeds hunting through 

 long grass. Then a square of soft lint, formed by dou- 

 bling a large piece several times, is laid upon the painful 

 organ, and kept wet with the following lotion : 



(1.) LOTION FOR TOE EYE. 



Tinct. arnic. mont, . . Three drops. 

 Tinct. opii . . . Six drops. 



Mist, camph. . . . One ounce. 



The first symptoms having subsided that is, the dog 

 being capable of raising the lid, and the flow of tears 

 having in some measure stopped the previous lotion 

 may be changed for the following wash : 



(2.) EYE WASH. 



Arg. nit ." fl ?>3?;il j;;;^ r.?, o ne grain. 

 Mist, camph., or Aq. dist. . One ounce. 



The proper manner of applying these preparations to 

 the eye deserves notice. Let the owner buy a large- 

 sized, long-haired, camel's-hair painting brush ; pour a 

 little of the liquid into a saucer ; saturate the brush in 

 the fluid ; pull the lids gently asunder, being careful not 

 to call forth resistance by frightening a timid animal with 

 any exhibition of haste or violence ; then, having the 

 eye exposed, draw the brush quickly across it, and the 

 ousiness is over.
