Ailing Animals 
Answered by Dr. A. S. Alexander 
Heaves 
My horse lias a bad ease of heaves, 
lie cannot, get up hill at all, and walking 
on the level has to stop to get his breath. 
He eats well and seems well in every 
other way. What would you advise me 
to do for him? We wet his feed all the 
time, but he does not improve. lie has 
a cough with it. K. it. s. 
New Jersey. 
There is no remedy for a conf rmed case 
of emphysema of the lungs, commonly 
called heaves. In that disease the walls 
myriads of tiny alveoli or air chambers 
in the lungs are broken down into much 
larger spaces, which are unable perfectly 
to expel air. The abdominal muscles are 
therefore used in the expulsive effort, and 
that causes the heaving motion of the 
flanks, and also expulsion of gas from the 
rectum, especially when the horse, coughs. 
Proprietary or other heave remedies will 
give temporary relief, but the symptoms 
return as bad as ever when it is with¬ 
held. An affected horse may be able to 
work with comparative comfort if fed 
grass, bran and grain in Summer, and 
allowed wet oat straw, corn stover, car¬ 
rots, bran and grain in Winter, without 
hay. Do not work such a horse immedi¬ 
ately after a meal, and do not give him 
any bulky food at noon, if he has to work. 
Half an ounce of Fowler’s solution of 
arsenic given night and morning in a 
little water proves helpful, and allowing 
the horse to inhale the fumes from a 
bucket of crude petroleum set in the man¬ 
ger relieves the cough. Beaumont 
(Texas) oil is especially recommended 
for this purpose. 
Paralysis 
I have a cow that freshened recently; 
had to take calf from her. She is all 
right in every way, but cannot get up. 
1 have rubbed her back with turpentine 
and mustard water. What can I do to 
get this cow up? M. c. B. 
Pennsylvania. 
The milk fever treatment should have 
been given at once. It consists, in fully 
inflating each quarter of the udder in 
turn with air pumped in by means of a 
rubber bulb syringe and small rubber tube 
connected with a sterilized milking tube 
inserted in the teat. It is probably too 
late to get results from such treatment 
now, and we think it quite likely that the 
present paralysis is a result of injury to 
the pelvic nerves at time of difficult calv¬ 
ing. Try the effects of 30 drops of fluid 
extract of nux vomica given in a pint 
of coffee three times daily. Gradually 
increase the dose of nux. drop by drop, 
but go back to the first dose should any 
alarming symptoms appear. 
Thrush 
I have a horse that has had thrush and 
is not entirely over it yet. I have been 
using blue vitriol and vinegar and this 
hae hardened the hoof. Do you know of 
anything better and what can I do to 
soften the hoof? B. L. T. 
Vermont. 
The solution you have been using is 
not suitable for such a condition. Cleanse 
the cleft of the frog and on each side of 
it, and then pack in calomel to be kept 
in place by means of pledgets of oakum 
saturated with pine tar. Repeat the 
treatment every other day. Keep the 
stall floor clean and dry. Let the. horse 
run on pasture for a few months in the 
Summer if he is not needed for work. 
Knuckling 
Can you tell me what to do for my 
four-year-old mare that “knuckled over” 
with her left hind ankle? We cannot 
find anything wrong with her kidneys, 
hip, stifle or ankle. When we back her 
out of her stall she often knuckles over, 
and she will raise up her leg as if it hurt 
her, but when she does it on the road, 
going downhill, she goes on as if it never 
happened. She is not lame ; at least very 
little, if any. Have been washing ankle 
with hot wormwood.. one ounce, steeped 
in one quart cider vinegar, with handful 
of salt. ir. c. a. 
New York. 
Stop the present treatment and have 
the mare shod with a shoe having heels, 
and that is beveled over at the toe to give 
“rolling motion” instead of having a toe 
calk. When this ha* been done, give the 
fetlock joint and back tendons a thor¬ 
ough hand-rubbing three times a day; 
then wrap the joint with cotton batting, 
put on smoothly, and kept in place bv 
means of a Derby bandage. If a month 
of this treatment does not suffice, we 
should advise clipping off the hair and 
applying a blister to the joint and ten¬ 
dons. '
