Other symptoms are salivation, great pain, rest- lessness, blue coloration of the tongue. (For differential diagnosis of paralysis of the lower jaw, see Diseases of the Mouth.) Therapeutic Treatment. According to Stockfleth, the ani- mal must be held by an assistant. The best method is to hold him between the legs and steady his head while the operator by means of a lever-like action upon the lower jaw endeavors to reduce the dislocation. To accomplish this, wrap a cloth around the hand, place the thumbs on both teeth of the lower jaw, and by means of external pressure attempt to reduce the bone into its normal condition. Another method which the author finds is not as reliable consists in placing a strong stick between the jaws, as far back as possible, then by pressure on the anterior portion of the jaws, allowing the stick to act as a fulcrum, the jaw will very often fly into position. In order to prevent a recurrence of this, the dog for some time should wear a par- '°-'- ticularly (Fig. 62) tight-fitting muzzle and should receive nothing but soft food. Dislocation of the Elbow. In the dog; the bone of the forearm forms with the elbow a pivot joint. Each of these joints has a capsular ligament. The Muzzle. ⢠n 1 ⢠1 ⢠Ti 1 1 upper IS fitted with a ring-like band, and in the lower portion the radius is kept in position by means of transverse â ligaments. A slight rotation of the radius may occur independent of the elbow-joint itself. A dislocation of this articulation may occur from jumping from tables, chairs, fall- ino' from some heiffht. In the former case the bone of the forearm is dislocated backward and outward. In dislocation of the lower pivot joint the
