124 EVERYTHING ABOUT DOGS. 



I prefer mixing it in molasses, as this is sweet and also a physic. It should 

 work him in from half an hour to an hour, but sometimes takes longer. 



Another way to give* it is by mixing the powder in castor or olive oil, the 

 way it is given by doctors in treating human beings for tape worm. 



Now, arrange to have it so you can examine the passages by dog being con- 

 fined in a yard. Be there yourself till it has worked the dog, don't give it up and 

 go away, for this catching tape worms is not easy fishing, and you must give it 

 your attention. Examine each stool and carefully pick out the part of worm it 

 may contain, wash this off and put it on a sheet of paper so you can examine it 

 and see what luck you had in that haul, or if you got the head that time. You can 

 buy at a small cost a magnifying glass, as the head cannot be seen with the nuked 

 eye. As soon as medicine is through working, feed up your dog, for he will relish 

 a good meal. If you find the head, then I would let 'the dog go for a week before 

 you give him another dose, but if you have not found the head then repeat dpse in 

 two or three days. 



In tape worm cases the treatment must be repeated and persevered with 

 until the head of the worm is expelled, and in all cases the worms and all dis- 

 charged feces should be either burned or destroyed by mixing it with some power- 

 ful disinfectant and then buried, to prevent propagation of the parasites by 

 their ova. 



You may get one worm or more, and yet the dog miay have more tape worms, 

 which treat for later on if symptoms again appear. Here is another prescription 

 which is recommended by DALZIEL: 



Oil of Male Fern Emulsion for Tape Worm. Take oil of Male Pern, \/ 2 ounce; 

 powdered gum acacia, 1 ounce; pure glycerine, 1 ounce; water to make 10 ounces. 

 It, should be mixed by a chemist, who will make a much nicer emulsion than a 

 person unaccustomed to dispense could do. The dose for a 20-lb. dog, one dessert 

 spoonful; for a mastiff, two tables,poonfuls. 



Clayton, Glover, Spratt's and Dent also have tape worm remedies, but I never 

 ha ye found it necessary to use anything but Kamala, and besides, I am always 

 afraid of there being areca nut in any remedy I did not know just what was in it. 



TREATMENT FOR MAW WORMS. These can be reached and expelled by the fol- 

 lowing injection per rectum: Aloes, 1 dram. Put the aloes into a tea cup of warm 

 water and then put it into a bottle. Inject once every day, until no more are to 

 be seen passing from the dog. Use rubber syringe and hold rear part of the dog 

 up for five minutes after injecting. It will do no harm and facilitate matters by 

 having given an hour beforehand a dose of Kamala (see tape worm), as the 

 Kamala will give dog a thorough cleaning out, and with this start expel a lot ot* 

 these worms. The Kamala need only be given once in treating for maw worms 

 the first day you begin treating dog. 



Another good injection for- rectum or maw worms is a solution of quass.'a 

 chips. A handful steeped in water for six hours.
