' DISEASES OF THE HOG. 109 
brane through the entire bronchial tubes is red- 
dened and covered with frothy mucus. In no part 
do we find effusion, save of serous material, the 
characteristic plastic exudation of inflammatory 
action being as yet undeveloped. Both sides of the 
heart, but particularly the right, with the large — 
blood vessels proceeding to and from it, are more or 
less full of dark-colored blood, but not coagulated. 
Treatment: As soon as possible give the animal 
a stimulant such as one dram of aromatic spirits 
of ammonia and one dram spirits nitrous 
ether at a dose in a little cold water, and 
repeat in half an hour if necessary; or give from 
one to two tablespoonfuls of good brandy or 
whisky; cover the body with warm blankets and 
rub the legs with a little of the compound soap lini- 
ment, If the animal improves keep up the stimu- 
lants for a day or two, but give them less fre- 
quently. Brandy or whisky will be found more use- 
ful in the later stage than the ammonia or ether. 
When relieved feed the pig milk and oatmeal gruei 
for a few days. 
PNEUMONIA (INFLAMMATION OF THE LUNGS.) 
Pneumonia may be defined as an inflammation 
of the true lung substance and the connective tis- 
sue, This disease attacks all kinds of animals, but 
there are none in which it is so fatal as the hog. 
The reason of this is in a great measure due to not 
detecting the disease early and after it has been 
detected the great difficulty we have in treating it, 
properly in the pig.
