DISEASES AND TREATMENT OF SHEEP AND PIGS 453 
take the pressure off the brain. Do not attempt to remove 
the grub, as nature will remove it in a few days itself. The 
only thing to be done after the bone is cut out is to keep the 
sheep in a cool place where flies will not bother it and cause 
maggots. Should this happen, wash the wound clean with 
lukewarm water and soap, then apply the white lotion with a 
few drops of carbolic acid in it once or twice a day and it 
will be all right. The hole in the bone will soon heal over. 
A sheep dying of grub in the head should be buried deep, 
so that dogs cannot get at the carcass and thus cause others 
to become infected. Never, in any case, pour spirits of 
turpentine in the nostrils, as it will do no good, is cruel, and 
sometimes kills the sheep itself. Always give the turpentine 
as above mentioned. 
6. Sore Eyes. 
Causes. — Sore eyes are caused by foreign matter — chaff, 
dust, etc., injury of some kind or catching cold. 
Symptoms. — The eye is partly closed and water runs 
from the corner ; it is red, very sore, and inflamed, and may 
have a scum over it. 
Treatment. — Examine closely for foreign substances and 
remove any that may be detected. To relieve the soreness 
and arrest the inflammation, bathe twice a day with new milk 
or warm water, and then apply the eye wash in and around 
the eye. Keep this treatment up until the natural condition 
of the eye has been restored.
