The encyclopædia of the stable The encyclopædia of the stable: a complete manual of the horse, its breeds, anatomy, physiology, diseases, breeding, breaking, training and management, with articles on harness, farriery, carriages, etc. comprising a thousand hints to horse owners encyclopdiaofs00shaw Year: 1909 BRONCHITIS OR INFLAMMATION especially long hay, results in an aggravation of the evil— whilst a periodical dose of linseed oil will be found of assistance to him. (See Coughs^ Grunting, Hay, Roaring, Whistling) Bronchitis or Inflammation of the bronchial tubes is scarcely a disease for the amateur to treat single-handed, but still circumstances may easily arise under which he is compelled to do his best for the horse. Symptoms.—A quick pulse, high temperature, and rapid breathing, accompanied by dulness and a redness of the lining of the eyelids, and generally by a nasty dry cough which clearly causes pain ; whilst there is an unmistakable rattling sound produced by the air passing through the bronchial tubes if one's ear is placed against the sides. Treatment.—The horse should be placed in a large, airy box, but entirely out of the reach of draughts, and his back and sides fomented with hot water. After he has been dried, rub linament on his chest and put on warm clothing ; rub the legs well and put on woollen bandages. If the breathing becomes worse linseed poulticesor mustard may be applied to the sides, and he may be allowed to inhale steam, the water in the nose-bag being mixed with chaff to prevent its splashing. Give him plenty of cold water to drink, but knock off all his dry food, feeding him on gruel, mashes, green meat, or scalded carrots. (See Fom- entations, Gruel, Mashes.) 50 Inhaler for use in cases of Bronchitis.
