Therapeutics. In the primary form of parotitis, where we do not have the formation of an abscess, we obtain good results with warm applications. Keep the animals as quiet as possible, and then rub on ointments, such as vaselin and yellow oxide of mercury. As soon as we see that the swelling is not going down within a •certain time, but increasing gradually, we must try and open the abscess as soon as possible and allow the pus to escape.
