Dr. Hess stock book : a scientific treatise on horses, cattle, sheep, hogs and poultry drhessstockbooks00hess Year: 1901 DR. HESS SCIENTIFIC TREATISE. 73 Symptoms : There is contraction of the skin with wrinkles across the nose, giving it a stubby appearance, the animal will raise its nose and sniffle, will sometimes run as if making an effort to get away from something; sores break out, the para- sites may burrow very deep and cause large, unhealthy, indo- lent looking wounds, the disease may even be fatal. Treatment: All well animals should be removed to a new pen, and their heads thoroughly rubbed with an ounce of car- bolic acid in a pint of raw flaxseed oil. This treatment should also be applied to those recently affected. In later cases, four drams of iodine should be incorporated with eight ounces of vaseline and this applied to the diseased parts; or one part of creolin to six parts of water can also be applied with good effects. If the sores are very indolent and refuse to heal, apply a little butter of antimony with a feather, or twenty grains of nitrate of silver to an ounce of water can be applied in the tame way. Mange. Mange in the pig is due to a parasite much the same as that which causes it in other animals. The parasite burrows into the skin and forms crusts or scabs; great itchiness prevails and the animal will rub against the posts or partitions and cause the parts to become sore. The disease is easily communicated from one animal to another. It usu- ally appears first on the thin parts of the skin, under the arm or flanks or inside of the thighs. Treatment: All pigs not affected should be removed from the pen where disease prevails, and the woodwork of the pen should be thoroughly washed with a strong solution of carbolic acid; or better, whitewash the pens and add thirty grains of corrosive sublimate to two gallons of the whitewash used. The corrosive sublimate is very poison- ous and should be handled with care. The diseased pigs should be t
