AILING ANIMALS 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Cough in Pigs 
I have two ailing pigs about three 
months old. They have a sort of cough, 
act as though they were choking. Appe¬ 
tite is good and nothing seems wrong 
other than this trouble. What is a rem¬ 
edy and what is the trouble? T. L. c. 
Virginia. 
Dust from the bedding is a common 
cause of such cough in pigs. In the South 
it often comes from bedding with peanut 
(“goober”) straw. Lung worms are an¬ 
other cause, but they affect pigs that have' 
been grazing old. hog-contaminated pas¬ 
ture. Exposure to wet and cold is. of 
course, a common cause, but appetite is 
lost in such cases. We cannot prescribe 
without knowing more about the circum¬ 
stances. 
Fowlers Solution for Horse 
Will you give me full instructions re¬ 
garding the use of Fowler’s solution for 
heaves? I bought a valuable horse live 
months ago; I knew he was wind-broken 
when I bought him, but a little over a 
week ago he developed symptoms of hav¬ 
ing been “doped.” As I had a horse die 
one time that had been given Fowler’s 
solution, which had been stopped sudden¬ 
ly. I though the best way to save this one 
was to start the solution again, and have 
started with doses of 15 drops three times 
a day. Will you give me the amount per 
dose, number of times per day; also rule 
for stopping the use of it? Do you think 
that when be is cured (at least helped) it 
would be advisable always to give him a 
little? If so. how much per dose? lie 
is a beautiful horse weighing about 1.200 
lbs. A. M. T. 
New York. 
The average dose of Fowler's solution 
of arsenic is half an ounce twice daily, 
and it often is increased to one ounce 
twice daily in aggravated cases, after the 
horse has become accustomed to the drug. 
You may now increase to half-ounce doses 
and as soon as the horse has taken about 
a quart, gradually discontinue the medi¬ 
cine, taking at least 10 days to the pro¬ 
cess. If you wish to continue tin 1 treat¬ 
ment. give a teaspoonful in the feed twice 
daily after a quart has been used. 
Warts 
1. I have a four-year-old cow giving 
milk as a stripper in good order, and 
seems to be in good health. She has on 
her left foreleg from her knee up to her 
shoulder what seems to be a vein of knots, 
varying in size, the largest one about the 
size of a damson ; from that down to the 
size of a grain of corn, all in a row, 
jammed together just as hard as they can 
be. IIow would you advise treating this 
cow? 2. At what age should I have my 
male calf’s nose operated on for the pur¬ 
pose of wearing a ring? Can I do this 
work myself, or is it necessary to have a 
veterinarian do it? What kind and tfize 
ring is best to use? .T. K. A. 
West Virginia. 
1. We suspect that warts are present. 
If any have narrow necks, twist them off 
or cut them off; then apply pine tar once 
a week. Masses of small warts also tend 
to disappear after a time if rubbed once 
daily with castor oil or fresh goose grease. 
If you mean that tumors have formed in a 
chain under the skin they may be can¬ 
cerous. 2. When the bull is six months 
old or over insert a gunmetal ring which 
has a point and one sharp end. or pierce 
the partition between the nostrils with a 
trocar and canula used in tapping for 
bloat, insert the ring, bring the ends to¬ 
gether and fasten with screws. Any 
stockman can perform such a simple op¬ 
eration. 
Fistula of Teat 
vent fence jumping. Perhaps readers can 
suggest other plans. 
Salt for Calves 
A man recommended to me that I put 
a moderate amount of salt in the calf feed 
that my veal calves have always within 
their reach, thus causing them a degree 
of thirst, with the result that the calves 
would be likely to suck more milk from 
the cows than they otherwise would do. 
Twice each day I let them go to the cows 
to help themselves. Is this theory or 
practice a good one? H. p. P. 
New Jersey. 
The theory is wrong in that the calves 
should be allowed to suck at any time 
they so desire and may have free access 
to rock salt, or a little salt occasionally. 
It is a mistake to make young calves very 
hungry, and then allow them to suck but 
twice a day. Such management will be 
about certain to induce indigestion, scours 
or bloat.
