HEPATITIS IN A TERRIER. 
pulv. opii gr. and ordered him to be put into a warm bath, and 
afterwards hot flannels several times in the course of the night. 
\tli, 10 A.M. —Much the same : the medicine has had no effect, 
although he has had very large doses; and, all hope of his recovery 
having fled, I wish the scene were closed. Still, however, perse¬ 
vere. Try 5 vj of the mag. sulph. Continue the clysters and 
warm bath, and bleed to syncope. 
4 P.M. —Improvement: he has lapped some broth, and the coun¬ 
tenance is less anxious; bowels opened once, and less painful on 
pressure. He is evidently better. Give a grain of calomel in 
some gruel. 
7 P.M. —Has had several fits of pain and uneasiness since I last 
saw him, and now he is suffering the most acute agony, accom¬ 
panied with frequent vomiting. The breathing is accelerated, and 
the right side of the belly exquisitely tender to the touch; extre¬ 
mities cold and clammy, and the pulse nearly imperceptible. Ad¬ 
minister hyd. sub. gr. j, et pulv. opii gr. J, and continue warm 
bath. 
11 P.M. —The vomiting has ceased, and the extremities are be¬ 
come warm; the bowels have been opened three times; pulse 
somewhat improved in character, but the breathing more disturbed. 
Give gr. i of calomel in gruel. 
5^A, 11 A.M. —The bowels are acted upon rather too much; the 
respiration is laborious, and he will not eat. Give mucilaginous 
draughts and enemas. 
4 P.M. —He is more lively, takes a little food, and the pulse is 
improved. His breathing, however, still continues laborious, and 
I frequently hear him sigh. He is not worse than he was yester¬ 
day ; I should rather say better. Continue treatment. 
9 P.M. —He is not worse, but ceases to improve. Continue 
treatment. 
6^A.—^This morning he looks more cheerful; has eaten some 
boiled mutton during the night, and lapped some broth. The pulse 
continues frequent and feeble, but is plainer to the finger; the 
bowels are more regular, and he certainly appears to be somewhat 
better. Give hyd. chlor. gr. j, et pulv. antimonialis gr. jss. 
6 P.M. —He appears a little dull and sleepy, but his appetite is 
much improved. I should say he is better. Repeat the dose. 
lihs —He continues to improve in his appetite ; the region of the 
liver is less tender on pressure, and the nose, mouth, and eyes, are 
not so yellow. Medicine repeated. 
8^A.—This morning he is decidedlv better, has eaten nearlv half 
a pound of boiled mutton, and lapped a considerable quantity oi 
broth. The breathing, however, continues somewhat hurried, but 
the pulse is stronger. Medicine as before.
