Fractious animals should be held by their owners and prevented from backing away or turning the head while this is being done. All short- faced animals (Bulldogs, Boston Ter- riers, Pugs, Toy Spaniels), in which the capacity of the nasal passages is small must be secured in this manner with ex- treme caution. Under even a moderate degree of excitement their nasal pas- ages are insufficient to accommodate the increased respiration, and these animals are forced to breathe by the mouth. If this avenue is closed suffocation results, and the heart may be overstrained or rupture of the pulmonary vessels take place, to be followed by death within a few hours. The jaws may also be secured with the ordinary muzzles sold in the stores, but very few of the latter are really effective for this purpose. In some cases, particu- larly of fractious animals, mor- phine is very useful as a means of control, injected hypoder- mically. It renders an animal contented, more or less obliv- ious to its surroundings and unmindful of slightly painful manipulations. Hopples.
