Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Homoeopathic Veterinary Doctor, Giving the History, Means of Prevention, and Symptoms of All Diseases of the Horse, Ox, Sheep, Hog, Dog, Cat, Poultry and Birds, and the Most Approved Methods of Treatment That one plan of organism runs through the various forms of animal life is an accepted fact of science. From this fact comes the natural inference that similarity of organism gives rise to similarity in disease and calls for similarity of medicinal treatment. While rapid advance has been made in the care and treatment of man, the animals which serve him, particularly the horse and ox, are still the victims of the cruel and often fatal notion that they require massive doses of drugs. The most skillful veterinary practitioners have demonstrated that the horse does not require much more medicine or much stronger external applications than an adult man, except only when laxatives or anodynes are required. The chief defects in previous veterinary books for the masses have been: (1) Incomplete directions upon how to know what disease the animal is suffering from; (2) Disregard of the rational and humane rule that the dumb animal is to be treated upon the same principles as man. The most casual reader will notice the great care taken in the present volume to so fully describe diseases, before prescribing the treatment, as to clearly answer that most perplexing of all questions, "What is the matter?" Such careful description is the more imperative when two or more ailments are so much alike in symptoms as to be particularly liable to confusion. The parallel tables of symptoms - which are now so valuable in medical books upon the human family - are freely used in this work. Observation being the only means of determining upon the ailment of dumb animals, no pains have been spared to provide cuts which illustrate to the eye distinctive symptoms which the patient, from lack of speech, cannot explain to the ear. Full directions having been given to decide what disease affects the animal, the application of the humane rule of treatment above laid down is consistently observed.
