P AWING at the side of the head sug¬ 
gests ear troubles. Hearing, early in 
cases of brain trouble, is acute; later, 
after congestion becomes pronounced, it is 
defective. Lying on the belly, especially on 
a strip of cold concrete or wherever it is 
coolest, indicates a disordered liver. Stand¬ 
ing with the legs braced or sitting up with 
the legs apart, so as to expand the chest, in¬ 
dicates pneumonia. The arched back indi¬ 
cates inflammation of the abdominal regions. 
When called upon to treat a sick dog, 
first of all get a complete history of the 
case from the beginning. Then consider 
this history in connection with the dog’s 
age, association and surroundings. As an 
illustration ; The greatest mortality among 
dogs occurs during puppyhood or early 
youth. Worms and distemper are account¬ 
able for more deaths than any other dis¬ 
eases combined. Therefore if the patient 
is a puppy or young dog, which has never 
been treated for worms, it is most natural 
to presume that the patient has worms, as 
practically all dogs have. The symptoms of 
worms should be carefully studied, and if 
the patient presents these symptoms, it 
should be treated accordingly. If, on the 
contrary, the dog has none of the symp¬ 
toms of worms, or has been treated for 
them, another disease must be looked for. 
Indigestion, due to many causes, can 
always he suspected in aged dogs that go 
off in flesh and refuse to fatten, no matter 
how much they may eat. It is also to be 
suspected when the breath is foul and 
bowels irregular. 
Tapeworm is a frequent cause of many , 
obstinate forms of skin diseases that are 
recurrent and will not yield permanently 
to external treatment. 
Rheumatism is_ a common ailment of 
sporting dogs. If the patient is stiff and 
sore all over, stands humped up and moves 
stiltedly and cautiously, the cause may be 
assigned to rheumatism. In the history.of 
most of these cases, the patient has been 
given a hard run, and while overheated has 
jumped into a pool or become chilled in a 
cold rain. If an examination of his sleep¬ 
ing quarters shows that he has slept in a 
draft or a bed of wet straw, rheumatism 
would be the logical diagnosis. If the his¬ 
tory of the case corresponds with the 
above, but, instead of being stiff and sore, 
the animal is found sitting on his haunches, 
his forelegs braced apart so as to expand 
the chest, breathing accelerated, membranes 
of the eye dark and congested, pneumonia 
is to be suspected. m If pressure upon thf “ 
walls between the ribs causes him to flinch 
and groan, the pleura or membrane’ around 
the lungs is affected, and we have pleurisy. 
If the small veins of the eye show a yel¬ 
lowish tinge, it is an indication of a dis¬ 
ordered liver and jaundice should be looked 
up and the condition of the patient’s bow¬ 
els investigated. 
If a dog that has been in good health 
is suddenly taken sick, exhibiting violent 
symptoms of pain and great distress, with 
attempts to vomit or a rigidity of the mus¬ 
cles, poison should be suspected, particu¬ 
larly if he has been allowed to run about 
freely, or other dogs in the neighborhood 
have been similarly affected. 
By pursuing these methods, proceeding 
from point to point with the greatest care," 
it is possible for any intelligent observer 
to accurately diagnose disease in the dog.
