Dog Blotch Treatment
Dog blotch, when dogs are affected with blotch, inflamed patches are observed on various parts of the body: these discharge thin mattery fluid, which forms a scab, matting the hair together, which in a few days falls off, leaving bare patches moist from the exuded fluid. These will appear in a night, and need cause no alarm whatever. They soon yield to a treatment twice daily of Eberhart's Skin Cure rubbed in and around the edges. Boracic acid powder may also be dusted in the bare spot once or twice a day with beneficial results. The hair will grow out again in due time. Here is a good lotion that you can have made if you haven't my skin remedy on hand-lotion for Blotch. Take carbolic acid and glycerine (British Pharmacopoeia), loz.; laudanum, 2oz.;water, lV 2 pts.; carbonate of potash, 2drs. It should be applied over the whole surface of the skin affected twice a day, and the dog be carefully washed every few days with soap and warm water, containing a teaspoon ful of carbonate of soda to every quart of water and afterwards very carefully dried; this will much facilitate a cure.
Of course, the kennel must be examined, any defective sanitary arrangements altered, a"nd thorough cleanliness insisted on. The dog's bedding should be changed at least every other day, and the proper use of disinfectants in and about the kennel are of great use.
