DISEASE OP LIVER IN DOGS-JAUNDICE. 



IN all animals disturbance of the biliary functions is asso- 

 ciated with a symptom which is easily recognized and 

 well understood— a yellow tinge of the skin and and mucous 

 membrane. This sign of disease is most noticeable in ani- 

 mals with light-colored skins; but the tinge is still to be 

 seen even when the surface is black, and the color can 

 always be observed in a most distinct form in the eyes and 

 inside the mouth. 

 Pathologists touch lightly as a rule on the question of the 



Sl'eciSe cattse of the yellow tint of the tissues in cases of 

 isease Of the liVcf; Two modes of explaining the occurrence 

 present themselves fof consideration, and it is not easy to 

 determine which is the correct one* The non-separation of 

 the elements of bile from the blood by the liver in its torpid 

 state, or the absorption of the fluid from the intestines, 

 would account for the color; and considering that in many 

 instances there is evidence of excessive secretion of bile of an 

 altered character, it is probable that the fluid is taken up by 

 the capillaries of the intestines, and becomes mixed with the 

 blood. On the other hand, there is nothing unphysiological 

 in the presumption that when the diseased liver fails in its 

 office, the skin, kidneys and mucous membranes do duty for 

 it. In such case, the elements of bile, being eliminated by 

 these organs, would produce the yellow tint of the skin, 

 mucous membrane, and the mine. Possibly both causes 

 may act in producing the same result under different con- 

 ditions of the bile-secreting organ. 



It may he concluded that the presence of the elements of 

 the bile in the blood will seriously interfere with the nutri- 

 tive functions; in fact, it is not too much to Say that the blood 

 under stich circumstances is really poisoned by the presence 

 of effete matter, which in a healthy state, of organism should 

 be constantly excreted. 



In addition to the poisonous action of bile in the blood, 

 which is a positive evil, there are to be taken into account 

 the negative effects of the absence of the secretion, in proper 

 quantity and of normal character, in the intestinal canal. 

 However objectionable the constituents of bile maybe when 

 retained in the blood, they are very essential for the proper 

 performance of the function of digestion. Bile in the intes- 

 tinal canal promotes the absorption of fat by its action on 

 the mucous membrane, It also assists in the solution of 

 the large mass of epithelial scales which are thrown off the 

 surface of the membrane; and it is further useful from its 

 slightly purgative and antiseptic properties. All these val- 

 uable qualities are lost when the bile becomes deteriorated. 



Acute inflammation of the liver is not common in the 

 dog, but chronic derangement frequently occurs in animals 

 which are kept in an artificial condition. Youatt refers to 

 the common existence of the disease in sporting dogs, grey- 

 hounds in particular, and considers that over-exertion, 

 chills, and immersion in water are causes of disordered 

 liver, which induce jaundice. Constipation is also des- 

 cribed as a cause; but, as Steel remarks, it would be more 

 correct to consider both the constipation and the yellowness 

 of the skin and mucous membranes as consequences of tor- 

 pidity of the liver. Excessive, use of emetics and purgatives 

 tends to cause disease of the liver, and it is hardly necess- 

 ary to observe that the system of feeding pet dogs on stimu- 

 lating and rich food is almost certain to cause disorders of 

 the organ. 



Jaundice as a sequel of distemper is a well-known and 

 dangerous complication in that disease, from which the re- 

 coveries are few. 



SYMPTOMS OF JAUNDICE. 

 Writers are in the habit of describing, among the indica- 

 tions of all forms of disease, many which are common, and 

 a few which are actually diagnostic, viz., specially signifi- 

 cant of a particular affection. Steel, in "The Diseases of 

 the Bog," describes first a dull, sleepy state, thirst, disin- 

 clination for food and vomiting, diarrhoea or constipation, 

 and then yellowness of the skin and mucous membranes, 

 some colic pains, with tenderness on pressure to the right 

 side. In the latter stages of the disease the skin is harsh 

 and dry. The evacuations are light-colored. Wasting 

 occurs, and in long-continued or chronic cases the belly is 

 pendulous as in dropsy, but the examination of the swollen 

 part indicates that it is not the result of eff nsion. Youatt 

 and Blaine describe the same symptons, noting that the 

 yellow tinge of the skin and mucous membranes is the prin- 

 cipal one. 



Fatty degeneration of the liver often occurs in pet dogs, as 

 the natural result of the system of feeding to which we have 

 referred, 



TREATMENT OF JAUNDICE. 



The means of combating disorders of the liver have not 

 been materially developed sinee the time of Blaine and 

 Youatt. Calomel was tnen, and is now, the popular liver 

 medicine; aloes was given in conjunction, and is now given 

 by some practitioners; while others prefer to regulate the 

 bowels by means of sulphate of soda or Epsom salts. 



Purgatives are not proper, especially at the commence- 

 ment of the attack, and it is sufficient if a moderate laxative 

 effect is obtained by the use of salines. Friction to the sides 

 with mercurial ointment is advocated by Blaine, and some 



modern practitioners attach great value to this treatment. 

 Bleeding used to be adopted in the beginning of the attack, 

 and when fever was indicated by dryness of the mouth, 

 thirst and quick pulse, but it is seldom resorted to in the 

 present day. 



Diarrhoea is to be cheeked by starch enemas with a few 

 drops of laudanum. Diet is an all-important matter in the 

 management of disorders of the liver. Abstinence from 

 fatty food must be insisted on, and mucilaginous fluids are 

 advised as a means of sheathing the intestinal membrane, 

 and thus preventing the irritative effects of the diseased 

 bile: mutton broth or chicken broth slightly thickened with 

 arrowroot will be very useful, and no kind of solid food 

 should be given until the dog has got well on the road to 

 recovery. A return of the ordinary appetite will be a fair 

 indication that a more liberal diet may he permitted. 



Chronic disease of the liver is often associated with erup- 

 tion on the skin, with loss of the coat. If noglected, the skin 

 becomes covered with scabs. 



No special treatment of the skin disease which arises from 

 biliary disorder is necessary, as the irritation is only a sym- 

 pathetic consequence of the generally deranged digestive 

 function. Careful dieting, strict cleanliness, and regular 

 exercise are important aids to recovery. Small doses of 

 calomel with aloes, just enough to keep the bowels in order, 

 may be given, and, as a tonic, iodide of potassium is worth 

 trying. One to four grains of the agent may be given in the 

 form of a pill; and when calomel is not given, five to ten 

 grains of the solid extract of taraxacum may be used with 

 the iodide of potassium. 



In the treatment of the diseases of dogs, the practitioner 

 always has to expect slow progress, and therefore a change 

 of medicine is sometimes beneficial. The iodide of potassium 

 may be changed for mineral acids. Two to ten drops of 

 dilute hydrochloric acid (according to the age and size or the 

 dog) may be conveniently given in sufficient water to make 

 the mixture pleasantly acid.— London Field.

COLLIE STAKES. — Rah way, N. J., Dec. 2%.- Editor 

 Forest and Stream: All the Collie Club Stakes as published 

 are fixtures, and renew themselves from year to year. 

 Owners of bitches that will whelp in January, 1889, should 

 at once enter them for the Produce Stake of 1890. The third 

 annual Collie Sweepstakes, for collies born in the United 

 States or Canada between Jan. 1 and June 30, 1888, will be 

 decided at the show of the Philadelphia Kennel Club, April 

 16 to 19, 1889. A subscription of $5 for each collie entered, 

 to he paid to the secretary of the Collie Club at the time of 

 entry. Fifty per cent, to the best dog or bitch, 35 per cent to 

 the second, 15 per cent, to the third and 10 per cent, to the 

 fourth. Dogs to compete for this sweepstake must be 

 registered in the K.C.S.B. and also be entered in the 

 regular classes of the bench show. Entries will close March 

 1, 1889. Blank forms can be obtained by addressing J. D. 

 Shotwell, Sec'y, Box 18, Rahway, N. J.

"WHY IS THIS THUS?"— Editor Forest mid Stream: It 

 is presumed that a specialist club exists for the encourage- 

 ment of a breed and that its prizes are offered to determine 

 which is the best autnwJ of the breed, but there must be a 

 ijualincaticm as to this in New York. Note the recent an- 

 nouncement of the American Mastiff Club, and you will see 

 that one prize is for dogs under th 



i ree years old, and the 

 Elhis is peculiar. Why 



next for dogs under two years old. 



are these particular ages selected:' There certainly is no 

 reason known to mastiff menwhya dog of four years should 

 not com pete on terms of equality With one of 22 months. 

 However, the American Mastiff Club is not composed of 

 mastiff men, so this knowledge could not be expected of 

 them. Does anybody want to know the reason? I suggest 

 —like Mr, Chucks, l' would beg to observe, just to hint in 

 the most delicate manner in the world, that Minting is over 

 three years old, and that Moses, Sears' Monarch, Ilford Cor- 

 oner, etc., are over two years. Truly the clique club should 

 take a more covered path than this when they wish to win 

 perfunctory prizes for the dogs the bosses own.— W. Wade. 



AMERICAN PET DOG CLUB. — Edi to r Forest and 

 Stream: A meeting of the. American Pet Dog Club was 

 held Friday, Dec. 14, at 129 East Sixteenth street, New York, 

 with the president, Mrs. Wheatleigh, in the chair. After 

 the roll call". the minutes of the preceding meeting were 

 read and approved. The treasurer's report was accepted 

 and ordered placed on file. A discussion of the new consti- 

 tution and by-laws, presented by the committee appointed 

 at last meeting to draft the same, resulted in their 

 adoption, as presented by said committee, by an unanimous 

 vote. A copy is annexed to these minutes. The meeting 

 then adjourned on regular motion. — MARION E. BANNIS- 

 TER, Secretary.

KENNEL MANAGEMENT. 



No Notice Taken ot Anonymous Correspondents. 



O. R. R., Sonoma City, Cal.— My bloodhound dog has a running 

 sore on his hindleg; can anything be done for it? Ans. Wash 

 night and morning with warm water and castile soap and apnly 

 ointment made of ldr. of balsam of Peru to loz. of vaseline. Try 

 to keep a piece of lint with a little ointment tied on the leg all the 

 time. 



G. C. C, Rochester, N. Y.— A small black and tan terrier, nine 

 months old, has for two weeks been losing the hair from his back 

 and over the eyes; the parts seem to itch a great deal and in one 

 place he has scratched himself raw; the skin seems to be very dry 

 and scaly. The dog has the run of the house and is a great pet, 

 I do not think he is fed anything but scraps from the table, so it 

 does not seem likely that his blood is out of order; he is very lively 

 and playful. Ans. Give the pup 4 drops of Fowler's solution o'f 

 arsenic morning and evening in the food for three weeks. Rub into 

 skin gently a little zinc oxide ointment morning and evening. 

 The trouble is scaly mange or eczema. Keep bowels open.
