Powdered Nux Vomica,1 to 6 grains.[1]
Reduced Iron,6 to 30 grains.
Ergotine,6 to 24 grains.
Common Mass. sufficient.
Mix.

Divide into 12 pills—one to be given twice a day after food. Later, if the paralysis continues, the following pills may be tried, and the former discontinued:—

Recipe:

Anhydrous Phosphate of Iron,3 to 12 grains.[1]
Sulphate Quinine,2 to 12 grains.
Strychnine,⅟₁₆th to ⅕th grain.
Arsenic,⅟₁₂th to ¼th grain.
Common Mass. sufficient.
Mix.

Divide into 12 pills. One to be given two or three times a day after food. The dog should be galvanised twice a day for about half an hour each time. A continuous current battery is best, and a blister should be applied to the loins, from the two last ribs to the points of the hips, and from two to four inches wide.[1]

When all four legs are affected, the result of some injured or diseased condition of the brain, the treatment should be the same as previously mentioned, except a blister should be applied to each side of the neck, along the course of the spine, instead of over the loins. The best blister to use is the liquor epipasticus; the hair, of course, should first be cut off close, or shaved, and the skin thoroughly washed and dried, and the blister should be gently rubbed into the skin with a piece of flannel for about three minutes. If it does not act well, rub a little red mercurial blister ointment into the parts the next day for a minute. Care must be taken that the dog does not lick the blisters, as they are poisonous. Two days later, the parts may be carefully washed and boracic ointment applied. Benefit is also derived in these cases by having the muscles of the limbs massaged.

When paralysis is the result of rheumatism—and in these cases it is generally the back limbs and loins affected—the attack commences with pain and stiffness across the loins. Give first, after a purge, for a week or so, suitable medicine for rheumatism, and then later, if the patient does not improve, treat as for ordinary paralysis. Cases of paralysis are often tedious, and keep about a long time, but in the end, unless the spine has been seriously injured by some accident, they generally recover.

Paraphymosis:

Symptoms: Dogs, particularly some of the small ones, sometimes get the penis protruded out of the sheaf, and if the orifice is at all small it contracts on the protruding part, and it cannot be relieved without assistance. The part becomes swollen and very painful, and if it is not noticed soon after happening, the point of the penis becomes much inflamed and congested.

Treatment: A little oil should be poured on the red protruding part, and the sheath should be taken hold of and pulled forcibly over it.
