DISEASES OP THE DOMESTIC ANIMALS 783 



Gastritis and Gastro-Enteritis. See Indigestion, Acute. 



Gastroduodenitis. See Jaundice. 



Glanders. 



Exposed or suspicious cases tested with mallein, 749. In febrile 

 cases the agglutination test may be used for diagnosis. After iso- 

 lation of suspicious cases in a cow barn, the premises previously 

 occupied must be most carefully cleaned, including harness, utensils. 

 stable fittings, mangers, walls,, floors, and disinfected. Horses 

 found glandered, either by clinical signs or tests, should be killed. 



Glandular Swellings. 



Into acute swellings inject phenol, 330; or inject or apply exter- 

 nally iodine, 246, to abort or hasten suppuration. Apply a mixture 

 of icthyol, 659, and mercury and belladonna ointments and lard, 

 equal parts, in acute and subacute cases, to aid resolution. May 

 prevent abscess by fly blister, 702. When abscess inevitable, hot 

 poultice, 714. See also mercury and mercuric oxides, 214. Red 

 mercuric iodide, 219. Internally, to avert abscess, calcium sulphide, 

 sodium sulphite or yeast. See Boils. 



Glaucoma. 



In the inflammatory form, give a smart purge and low diet. Drop 

 eserine sulphate solution (gr. iv to Ji) in the eye thrice daily. 

 After acute attack subsides, mild eserine solution (gr. l-i-^i.). 

 Iridectomy, in most cases. 



In chronic form, weaker eserine solution (as above) and potas- 

 sium iodide internally. 



In traumatic form, treatment depends upon injury and is chiefly 

 surgical. 



Glossitis, Idiopathic or Traumatic. 



Swab often with saturated solution of boric acid in boiled solu- 

 tion of starch or barley flour. Ice water at animal's command con- 

 stantly. If much swelling and edema, scarification of the tongue 

 superficially in many places. If difficulty in swallowing, rectal 

 feeding or stomach tube through nose in horse. When tongue 

 lacerated, save all of the organ possible, and suture. If caused by 

 alkalies, use vinegar and water (1-2) on swab.
