ISO DISEASES OF DOGS. 



the diseaee to the presence of hydatids in the brain, but the resnlti 

 of more recent study of animal parasites are opposed to this view. 

 The cause of tumside is more lilcely to be worms ia the stomach or 

 intestines. I therefore recommend that a vermifuge be given, followed 

 by an aperient; and that the dog be placed in a room where he 

 cannot injure himself by running against things, as he is apt to do, 

 his sight being impaired. 



tTLCEBS ON TEE T01T6UZ!. — This painful condition 

 when met with in the dog is usually the result of neglect, the teeth 

 being allowed to accumulate tartar. The ulcers may be due to rough 

 or decayed teeth as well as to a disordered stomach, the latter being 

 a frequent cause. In the latter case aperients must be administered, 

 and a plain diet be furnished, and in moderate quantities, when, as 

 the condition of the stomach improves, the ulcers will disappear. U 

 tartar is present, it must be removed by scaling, and the teeth after- 

 wards gone over with an ordinary tooth-brush dipped into weak 

 Condy's Fluid. Any decayed teeth must be extracted. The ulcer* 

 themselves should be lightly touched vnth nitrate of silver.

UTERUS, INVERSION OP. — This sometimes occun 

 after pupping, and also from great weakness. The uterus is
