A CASE OF HEPATITIS IN A TERRIER. 
By Mr, John Rolfe, Veterinary Student, Bungay. 
In the beginning of last March a favourite Scotch terrier, two 
years old, the property of Miss-, a young lady in Camden 
Town, was attacked with what canine pathologists term the red 
mange, for which he was treated by a chemist, and apparently with 
success. On the 1st of April he was observed to be dull; re¬ 
fused his food, wandering about, shifting his place from one part of 
the room to another, and was extremely restless. The following 
day, about 10 o’clock A.M., I was requested to see him. 
Present Symptoms. —The covering of the mouth and eyes of a 
deep yellow; the skin tinged, and the urine also. The pulse hard 
and small; breathing somewhat disturbed; countenance anxious ; 
and the dung hard and small in size. The extremities cold; the 
nose and mouth hot; great pain expressed by pressure being made 
on the abdomen, particularly towards the right side; a staring coat, 
and insatiable thirst. I bled him to the extent of Jvj, gave an 
emetic, and applied a blister to the region of the liver, 
5 P.M. —The medicine has not operated; he refuses altogether 
to eat, and is very fidgetty. I got a little dung from him by pass¬ 
ing the fore-finger up the anus, which was rather hard and slightly 
yellow. Gave him pulv. aloes 3ss, hyd. chlor. et pulv. antimon. 
aa 1 gr., and a cathartic enema every half hour. 
3fZ, 9 A.M. —I found him lying down, panting, and crying pite¬ 
ously ; the pulse very feeble, and the extremities moist with per¬ 
spiration*. Only a few bits of dry and hardened faeces had been 
evacuated during the night. The mouth and eyes continue very 
yellow, and he is evidently worse. Give him hyd. chlor. gr. ij et 
ol. croton, gutt. ij, in gruel with the stomach-pump. Repeat the 
blister; and enemas every half hour as before. 
2 P.M. —The urine is of a deep yellow, and voided only in small 
quantities; the bowels have not been moved, and he is getting 
weaker. The pulse frequent and feeble. He is continually lying 
down and rising up, and shifting his posture in every possible way. 
Continue the clysters, and apply six leeches to the abdomen. 
6 P.M. —Countenance very anxious; abdomen tender on pres¬ 
sure : no stool; vomiting incessant, and of a fmcal odour. Give 
hyd. sub. gr. j, pulv. opii gr. i. 
9 P.M. —No better. I gave aloes pulv. 9ij, hyd. chlor. gr. et 
* It has been said that the dog never perspires through the medium of'tlic 
skin: that, however, is incorrect, for 1 have seen it in many instances.
