DISEASES OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS 585 



In enterorrhagia, tannic acid with opium, or Monsel's salt, as above. Ham- 

 amelis. Diet, oil of turpentine in slight enterorrhagia. 



In bleeding from rectum, enemata (H., Oi; D., 52-4). Enemata to contain 

 either adrenalin (5ss to Oi), Monsel's salt, or alum, or tannic acid (5ss-0i). 



In hemoptysis, morphine under the skin, or chloral and bromide by mouth. 

 To prevent recurrence, give calcium chloride every 2 hours, and gelatin. 

 Hemorrhage, Post-Partum. 



Remove fetal membranes. Intrauterine injections of hot sterile water 

 (115-120 deg. F.). Pack uterus with aseptic gauze. .Ergotin subcutaneously. 

 Raise hind quarters. Secure quiet by morphine, or laudanum. Tight binder 

 about abdomen to support uterus. In laceration of uterus, tight packing of 

 sterile gauze or suture. In severe bleeding, Hogan's solution intravenously, 

 or blood transfusion. Strychnine and alcohol, to avert collapse. 

 Hemorrhagic Septicemia. Cattle, Sheep, Swine. 



Bacterins containing B. bovisepticum, B. ovisepticum, B. suisepticum 

 (swine plague), B. avisepticum will afford immunity. Organisms from the 

 same species are preferable to those from other species. A curative serum 

 from hyperimmunized animals gives good results in treatment of existing 

 cases in doses up to 100 mils intravenously. Forage disease or corn stalk 

 poisoning ( cerebro-spinal meningitis) due to B. botulinus may confuse 

 diagnosis. Bodies of dead burned or buried deeply. 

 Hernia. 



Umbilical Hernia in New-Born — Give purge, and, after 12 hours' fast, 

 cast and return protrusion and draw 2 folds of skin together covering um- 

 bilical ring. The folds are held together by wooden or iron clamps, with not 

 sufficient pressure to cause the skin to slough; or by skewers introduced 

 down to fascia, on either side ring, and held together by string wrapped 

 around folds of skin, not tight enough to cause sloughing. 



Ventral Hernia — This occurs in any part of belly wall from injury to wall, 

 except at natural rings. Treatment is not often required. If small, same 

 method as for umbilical hernia may be used, or blister applied over pro- 

 trusion. If strangulated or large, an open operation under strictest asepsis 

 with return of contents of sac and suture of wall in layers, and overlapping 

 of external oblique aponeurosis, may be done. 



Inguinal Hernia — Rare in gelding; return bowel by taxis under anesthesia 

 if possible, and apply clamps to skin as for umbilical hernia. If taxis fails, 

 open operation with division of the ring must be done. In the stallion, 

 covered castration operation, followed by clamps applied to skin, or suture. 

 Herpes, Pemphigus, Bullae. 



A vesicular eruption at the juncture of the skin and mucous membranes, 

 especially about mouth and genitals. Laxative in indigestion. In adult 

 horses there may be pustulation. Tine, camphor; a mixture of equal parts, 

 starch and zinc oxide; bismuth nitrate as dusting powder; zinc ointment. 

 Hog Cholera. 



Under this title three distinct diseases are sometimes confounded — 1. Hog 

 cholera or swine fever, in U. S. and Great Britain. 2. Swine plague, hemor- 

 rhagic septicemia or contagious swine pneumonia. 3. Swine erysipelas or 

 mal rouge. Life immunity is secured by simultaneous injection of anti-hog 

 cholera serum and hog cholera virus at distant points in the body. Serum 

 alone protects young pigs till weaning (when simultaneous treatment is 

 given), or cures hogs with beginning hog cholera. Severe cases should not 

 be treated. It is sometimes necessary to also inject bacterin of B. suisepti- 

 cum as swine plague not infrequently complicates hog cholera. In erysipel- 

 atous form immunity which lasts a year is secured by vaccination with an 

 attenuated virus, but is attended with 1 to 2 per cent, mortality. Not com- 

 mon in U. S. Compulsory inspection and control; notification; isolation of 

 diseased, suspects and new arrivals; examination of live and dead animals 

 in markets; burning or deep burying of dead, with thorough disinfection of 

 premises and feces, are indicated. 

 Hoose. Husk. Verminous Bronchitis. 



Due to presence in the bronchial tubes of S. fllaris in lambs; S. micrurus 



in calves. Digitized by Microsoft®
