The fractured ends of the bone should be brought as nearly together as possible and kept in place by bandages, splints, or other appliances, according to the location and ex- tent of the fracture. If the fracture be in one of the limbs, the animal should be placed in slings (Fig. 20) to keep him quiet and keep the weight off the injured limb. Plaster of paris bandages may be applied by spreading the plaster of paris on a domestic bandage about four inches wide and as long as neces- sary. Then roll the bandage up and wet it, and apply it snugly to the leg above and be- low and right over the fracture. When the bandage dries it will get very hard and stilf and make a good support to the broken bone. Bandages wet in starch may be used in place of the above, which work well in some cases. Splints may be bound on with bandages of plaster of paris, which in some cases are a great help in keeping the bones in place. Cooling applications should be applied above and below the bandages if any swelling takes place, such as cold water. Also bathe the parts well with our Liniment (see Appendix) two or three times per day. Keep a bucket of cool water before the animal all the time, into which may be dissolved 1 dram of salt- petre twice per day. Keep the bowels moving freely by giving raw linseed oil as a drench. Give bran mashes, chops, boiled oats, green grass, fodder, etc., to eat. Give regularly in the feed morning and night one teaspoonful of our Condition Powders (see Appendix) to purify the blood and aid reunion of the broken bones. Broken legs in dog
