LATEST TREATMENT FOR
DISTEMPER IN ROUS
Examination of specimens submitt
ed to Washington by the Biological
Survey Reindeer Experiment Sta
tion of Nome, relative to the dis
tempter epidemic among dogs exper
ienced last winter indicate an acute
and unusual virulent form of the
disease. A report on the matter by
the Bureau of Animal Industry to
the Biological Survey is recently at
hand and the main gist of it is as
If distempter has not been pre
valent in Alaska the sudden intro
duction of the virus would un
doubtedly cause an outbreak of a
very severe and fatal type. It is
known that dogs in whose native
country the malady is unknown
rarely survive when subjected to the
infection.
me oniy means at present Known
for avoiding distemper infection is
to prevent exposure of >our.g sus
ceptible animals to the infection.
Vaccines and serums now prepared
by the various biological products
firms can not be said to be sure
preventives, although they do ap
pear to lessen the gravity of an at
tack and sometimes prevent serious
complications. The sleeping quar
ters should be kept clean at all
times and may be disinfected oc
casionally with a 3</r. cresol com
pound solution or 5% carbolic acid
solution.
Once an outbreak occurs the treat
ment is largely symptomatic, and is
usually attended with considerable
difficulty. The animal should be
provided with clean and comfortable
bedding in a room or kennel where
there are no draughts or appreci
able changes of temperature. In
damp or chilly weather the puppy
might be wrapped in woolen cloths,
although this must not hamper the
freedom of the animal's movements.
A moderate amount of exercise
should neither be discouraged nor
enforced.
Next in importance to hygiene is
the diet of the patient. For the
duration of the fever, probably a
straight ration of milk would be
best. After the fever subsides
there may be added egg albumen,
beef tea and later small quantities
of minced raw beef. There should
at no time be a sudden change or
abrupt increase in the character or ,
amount of the food given, always
bearing in mind that there is more :
danger In overfeeding than in un
derfeeding the sick dogs.
Fever may be treated by the use
of aspirin, phenacetln or quinine In
appropriate doses according to size
or animal. Diarrhea may some
times be checked by the use of boil
ed milk as a diet. Should the con
dition persist you may administer
salol or bismuth subnitrate. 5 grains
each, suspended In lime water, at
intervals of four hours. Paregoric;
or duid extract of plum may be jud
icially employed in this connection,
as well as for allaying the nausea.
Accumulations of moccus secretions
should frequently be sponged away
from the nostrils, which should then
be anointed with vaseline. Cough
mg and difficult breathing should be
treated, and the inhalation of the
Vapors of camphor and turpentine
in hot water. The internal admin
istration of an emulsion of oil of
eucalyptus Is also very efficient.
Regardless of the care and treat
ment afforded the patient, this dis
ease mast be allowed to run its
coarse. The best that veterinary
science must be allowed to do is to
aasist nature by surrounding the
animal with the most favorable en
vironment and possibly ward off ser
ious complications, eliminating
which the animal should nmhe a
good recovery.
