172 SPECIAL EQUINE THERAPY 



Mild cases treated should not be permitted to eat or 

 drink anything for at least twelve hours. WeU marked 

 or serious cases should be made to fast for twenty-four 

 hours after treatment. A course of tonic medicine is 

 usually indicated as after-treatment in all cases. 



If a troublesome constipation should follow an attack 

 of this disease, I would recommend that it be corrected 

 by the use of either castor or linseed oil. Do not use salts. 



Cases treated as outlined above usually make a rapid 

 and complete recovery.
