Snoring 



Shorfc-nosed dogs have rather a predispositioa to snore. 

 There is no cure, as it is caused by an obstruction of the 

 nasal passage ; but in some cases it may be lessened by 

 rubbing the bridge of the nose with camphorated liniment. 

 Sometimes worms are the cause of it ; if so, treat in the 

 usual way for those parasites. 



Fop Sprains 



Rub in Elliman's embrocation. 



Stings 



Apply sal volatile or liquid ammonia. 



Dogs infested with Ticks 



Clean the bed and surroundings, pick out the ticks, or 

 cut them asunder with a pair of scissors; or if they 

 cannot be got rid of by this, wash the dog first in soft 

 soap, and then with Naldire's or Spratts' dog soap ; and if 

 this does not avail, slake ^ lb. of quicklime in water, 

 and then add 1 lb. of sublimed sulphur, stirring them 

 together and gradually adding water until it measures a 

 gallon. Put it on the fire, in an old saucepan, and boil 

 till half the quantity remains. Set aside to cool, and when 

 cold, pour off the clear liquid and add water till the mixture 

 measures 5 pints. Well wet the coat with it, which will 

 destroy the ticks. Care must be talvcn the dog does not 

 lick itself, and that he does not get wet. 



Vermin 



The safest plan to get rid of these pests (lice) is to 

 saturate the animal with castor oil and let it remain on 

 for several days, which kills the lice by preventing their 

 breathing. Burn all bedding, and if the dog's coat is very 

 long, clip the coat.
