584 EPITOME OF MODERN TREATMENT 



in young cows: This is enzootic in low-lying pastures; change pastures, 

 drain pastures and fertilize them with Ume and phosphates. 



Hemoglobinuria. Azoturia in Horses. 



Support in slings in box stall. Quiet with lobeline. Empty bladder by 

 pressure through the rectum or by catheter. Adrenalin solution intramuscu- 

 larly, 3ii-iv, purge with arecoline hydrobromide or eserine. Apply hot 

 blankets. Venesection, and replace by saline infusion in strong animals. 

 Allow normal salt solution to flow slowly into rectum to stimulate kidneys. 

 In restlessness, chloral; with heart weakness, digitalis or strychnine. 



Diet— Bran mashes, hay, roots, green food, little hay. Prevent by light 

 feeding, when not working, or by exercise every day. 



Hemoglobinuria in Cattle. Texas Fever. Piroplasmosis. 



This is caused by a protozoan parasite conveyed by ticks or their ova to 

 cattle. Prevention.— nemove ticks from cattle by brushing or scraping them 

 off; or by spraying cattle with following dip: Dipping cattle (15 to 30 

 seconds) in this mixture in concrete or wooden vats 5% ft. deep and 40 ft. 

 long is most successful in eradicating ticks in large numbers of cattle. Boil 

 white arsenic (10 lbs.) and sal soda (25 lbs.) in 25 gallons of water for 15 

 minutes, or till arsenic dissolves. Cool with cold water to 140° F. and add 1 

 gallon pine tar gradually, while stirring. Bring the mixture to 500 gallons 

 by adding sufficient water. (U. S. Dept. Agr.). 



Application of dip or spray must be made every 3 weeks till ticks dis- 

 appear, or only twice (a week apart) when cattle can be placed in tick-free 

 pastures. Cattle must not be dipped when tired or thirsty, or allowed to 

 drip on grass or to form pools which they may drink. They must not be 

 driven hard or overheated for a week after treatment. By keeping cattle in 

 spring in tick-free inclosures, three weeks in each in turn, the ticks fall off 

 and the cattle are not reinfested. The inclosures are then disinfected by 

 spraying with kerosene and burning. 



Freeing Pctstures of Ticks. — Exclude animals from June to November. 

 Cultivate or burn over pastures. Pasture rotation. 



Imrmmizing. — Young stock may be immunized by inoculation with 1-8 mil 

 of deflbrinated blood from an immune animal. The treatment involves a 

 mortality about 7 per cent. 



Hemophilia. 



In "bleeders," inject fresh normal horse serum or antidiphtheric serum 

 (H., giv) or better, transfusion of blood, and make local application of 

 adrenalin chloride solution or subcutaneous injection of it into bleeding part 

 (1-10,000). Very hot or cold water, compression. Pure tannic acid. Inter- 

 nally, calcium chloride and gelatin. 



Hemoptysis. See Hemorrhage. 



Hemorrhage from Wounds. See Wounds. 



Hemorrhage, Internal. 



Quiet and rest of animal and bleeding part, with lowering of blood pres- 

 sure in internal hemorrhage; opium. Infusion of salt solution after arrest of 

 bleeding. Gelatin and calcium chloride to coagulate blood. Adrenalin chlo- 

 ride best hemostatic when van reach bleeding spot. 



Subcutaneous injections of fresh horse serum (antidiphtheric serum is most 

 convenient, but fresh serum is more effective) has given successful 

 results in persistent hemorrhages of all kinds. The serum should not be 

 repeated at intervals longer than 10 days. That from the same species of 

 animal as the patient is best. 



The dose is about gss for small animals; S2-4 for large patients. Trans- 

 fusion of blood most successful. 



Gastric (hematemesis) and intestinal hemorrhage (enterorrhagia), hot 

 blankets externally; ice water internally; and bandaging of the limbs. 



In hematemesis, adrenalin by the mouth or Monsel's salt in pill (H., 3i; 

 D., gr.x) every fifteen minutes for an hour, if adrenalin is, inefficient; or 

 hamamelis or tannic acid by mouth.
