Treatment of pentastoma consists in the injection into the nose ofsolutions (either by means of a syringe or ])y an atomizer) of boracic acid,creolin, chloroforhi, lienzine, carbolic acid, or liy the application of thevapors of chloroform, formaldehyde, etc. All these preparations are. ACUTE LARYNGEAL CATARRH 133 rather difficult to apply, on account of the narrowness of the nasal pas-sage in the dog. In very acute cases, the best method of procedure is totrephine the upper part of the nasal passage and going directly into thatcavity inject it with solutions of turpentine, chloroform, corrosive subli-mate solution and wash out the parasite. This can be accomplished byusing a good sized syringe filled with the solution (creolin 1, water 15, oremulsion of turpentine in linseed oil 1 to 10) and putting a small sectionof rubber hose on the end of the syringe; insert it into the opening andinject slowly, taking care to see that the animals nose is depressed and soallow the flow to go over the location of the parasites.
