WORMS INTESTINAL PARASITES 617 



If the animal exhibits pain when he voids his 

 urine, then it will be necessary to give half-a-grain of 

 powdered opium, put in a little meal and butter, and 

 forced down his throat. Fomentations applied over 

 the region of the bladder will have a good effect in 

 alleviating pain. The food should be bread or biscuits 

 soaked in gravy, and unlimited supply of milk and 

 water to drink.

Of all the domesticated animals the dog is most 

 frequently affected with intestinal parasites.

 testines of the dog.
