The Veterinary J o'Urnal SAND AS A CAUSE OF COLIC IN A DOG. By PHILI P VI NCEN T , M.R.C.V .S., H ove.
o September 1st I was called in by a lady clien t t o see an Aberdeen terrier dog which she told me had been playing ball on the sands with her children, and as he had never seen the sea before, he became very excited, and in picking up the ball he had wallowed a quantity of sand. The dog was in considerable pain, the abdomen was distended, and painful on manipulation, no appetite, excessive thirst, obstinate constipation, and he had vomited several times. I ordered him a bismuth mixture every three hours, and nothing but a little lime water and milk to drink. The following morning the dog was in less pain and the vomit ion had ceased . I gave him Liq. paraffin 3ii. , and three hours la ter a pill containing Hydrag. Subchor. grs. ii. ; three hours lat er I gave another dose of Liq. paraffin and an enem?- of glycerine and warm water. At six o'clock in the evening the dog passed about two teaspoonfuls of sand, and during the night he passed more sand. The next morning the dog was much better, and he commenced a diet of boiled fish,. and it was not necessary for me to see him again . SOME lNSTAN CES OF I OCULATION

All of them showed clear symptoms of rabies, a nd were eventually destroyed. In most of these case the b ites were extensive, and spread over the face, and none of the animals were long-haired ones. It cannot therefore be said that the success of the inoculation was due to the prevailing theory, " The bites of all rabid dogs do not result in the disease, and also, to a certain extent , the long-haired dogs are protected in the like manner."
