 PREFACE

Homoeopathy today occupies a unique place in the world

of therapeutics. The brilliant cures effected by the harmless
remedies have drawn many veterinarians into its fold. More and
more veterinary practitioners are evincing keen interest in this
method of therapy but many find the available vast literature tough
and time-consuming.
By the grace of the Almighty and constant desire to find new
remedies which are easy to administer, have no side effects, with
ability to cure all curable diseases of dumb animals forced me to
study homoeopathic remedies. I tried them on thousands of
animals during my 27 years of service. Many homoeopathic and
biochemic medicines, either in combination or singly, gave
encouraging results details of which are given in this book.
I found 90%, 95% or even 100% cure in various diseases
which had been declared incurable by other system of treatment.
Examples: sequelae of foot & mouth disease, alveolar emphyse-
ma, chronic mastitis leading to fibrosis of udder, etc.
It is found that homoeopathic treatment is complementary
to allopathic treatment in animals, and their remedies are
synergistic in action.
I request our vets to come forward and have some more
trials undertaken to develop this branch for the betterment of our
animals.
I have been consistently asked by field vets and farmers
to prepare a book on homoeopathic treatment of animals for their
guidance.
The collection of the material for this book by obtaining
practical and authentic information from my vet friends interested
in homoeopathy has involved labour of some years.
 The book is intended to be a guide to vet practitioners to
make trials. The inquisitive reader will find some very useful
information on questions about which they have little knowledge.
It has been said "knowledge of a part of any science is better than
ignorance of the whole."
The busy practitioners desiring to learn homoeopathy
should spare a little time for this profitable study.
I have designed this book to meet their requirements. I
hope this book will serve the twin purposes of quickly initiating
the beginners into homoeopathy and to kindle in them the passion
for further study of classical literature.
In this book I have often mentioned remedies recommend-
ed by various authorities, named in the list of references at the
end.

 FOREWORD

Dr. B. P. Madrewar, who was my M.V.Sc. student in 1973-

74, has written this book on the much needed but hardly touched
field of use of homoeopathy in livestock. We all know that
homoeopathy is being effectively practised on human beings for
centuries. Awareness in problems of health and production in
animals has attained great significance under the changed
economic scenerio of the country. Although allopathy is practised
for treatment of animals presently, a therapy cheaper, more
effective and less harmful in terms of side-effects is needed for
the ailing livestock of the rural poor. Dr. Madrewar, by writing this
book, has rendered a great service in this direction.
Dr. Madrewar had earlier published a book on homoeopathy
in Marathi. However, due to constant demand for use of
homoeopathy in treating animals, he has now written this book
in English and added more information based on his experience.
It is with great pleasure that I went through this book
THERAPEUTICS OF VETERINARY HOMOEOPATHY. In my
opinion this book will be of immense help to practising
veterinarians, students and to those interested in homoeopathy
in general. The chapter "QUICK PRESCRIPTION" will be helpful
from practical point of view even to livestock owners.
I wish Dr. B.P. Madrewar every success in his endeavour
to serve the veterinary profession.

OPINION

I have known Dr. Madrewar as an honest and dedicated

civil servant for many years. He was a responsible officer in the
Veterinary department of Maharashtra State in 1968 and I had
occasions to see Dr. Madrewar's veterinary skill.
I am much impressed by the fact that Dr. Madrewar has
put in a great deal of study and diligence to learn homoeopathy
as an extracurricular activity so to say. He may not be an
institutionally qualified homoeopath, but those who know this
science well vouchsafe for the depth of his knowledge and
experience and his THERAPEUTICS OF VETERINARY
HOMOEOPATHY is a further proof. He has gone into the healing
art merely for labour of love.
In India facilities for veterinary treatment are till today
woefully inadequate in spite of efforts made by govt, since
independence. Modern medicines are very expensive for the
majority of our people (farmers) and they find it much more
convenient to turn to homoeopathy and other forms of treatment.
I am sure, Therapeutics of Veterinary Homoeopathy will
meet a very real need.

HOMOEOPATHY IN
VETERINARY PRACTICE

Diseases of domestic animals yield as promptly to

homoeopathic treatment as for man. It acts equally
efficiently in large animals, small animals and pets.

In human, for effective treatment by homoeopathy, a

number of things are prohibited or contra-indicated, e.g.,
consumption of alcohol and tobacco, smoking, coffee, and
use of perfume, camphor etc. which have otherwise
become part of modern life-style. Toothpaste or powder,
face powder, scented sticks (udbatti), etc, contain essence
and scent, and are known to hamper the pharmacological
action of homoeopathic drugs. Fortunately, with the
animals there is no such problem which strengthens our
case to recommend homoeopathy for the treatment of
domestic animals and birds, and we can predict a better
response too.

The basic principle of homoeopathy is similia similibus

curantur, i.e., let like be treated by like. In human beings,
therefore, narration of detailed history by the patient and
ascertaining the finer points of the progress of the disease
 is of critical importance. This raises a pertinent and
apparently valid objection by many veterinary practitioners
that since the animals cannot brief the doctor about their
pain and illness homoeopathy cannot be successfully
practised on them. Anamnesis or history taking has been
given importance even in allopathy and is regarded as key
to diagnosis. Expressions by way of signs and symptoms
— change in posture, gait, temperament, unusual
behaviour and impairment in daily routines, have been
documented extensively and are relied upon as definitive
indicators of underlying disease. Animals are honest in
conveying genuine symptoms, therefore the feigning of
disease common in human patients is usually absent in
animals.

4. In my 27 years of veterinary practice, I have treated many

cases which were otherwise pronounced hopeless and
incurable. I was able to restore many cases to their normal
productivity and health by administering appropriate
homoeopathic drugs. Some of the diseases which I have
successfully treated are: Sequelae of foot & mouth disease,
alveolar emphysema, chronic mastitis, Downer's cow
syndrome, sinus, fistulae etc. As a general rule, detailed
examination of the patient and proper selection of
homoeopathic remedy will ensure cure for many acute and
chronic diseases.

5. Allopathic medicines are administered on the basis of body

weight, Since the weight of large animals is 10 to 15
times human weight, the quantity of medicines and its cost
would be proportionately higher. Allopathic medicines are
so costly that many people from underdeveloped countries
like India cannot afford them. Many a time this results
in treatment by the illiterate farmers themselves by
employing unorthodox, crude local application or some-
 .OMOEOP ATHY IN VETERINARY PRACTICE 3

times they avail of the services of quacks for cheap

treatment. It is, therefore, imperative that other systems of
medicine which are cheaper, effective and less harmful
should be tried. One system which perfectly fits this
objective is homoeopathy. In foreign countries the farmers
are rich. Even then there is a strong wave there to use
homoeopathic drugs to reduce the cost of treatment and
avoid side-effects.

6. Homoeopathic medicines will not produce a disease in

other systems of the body, e.g., in brain disease,
homoeopathic medicine will not affect the intestines,
whereas allopathic drugs are not specifically targeted and
have several side-effects. To avoid this, nowadays
homoeopathic medicines are being prescribed as adjuvant
drugs by leading allopathic practitioners.

7. Doses of homoeopathic medicines are quite small, few

small globules, or few drops, or grains of powder, which
can be put on the tongue of the animal or administered
in water. Whereas in allopathy doses are relatively large,
sometimes in pounds, as for magnesium sulphate and
common salt when used as purgative. Such large doses
of medicines are difficult to administer. There are two
reasons why small doses of homoeopathic drugs act so
efficiently: mSt, these are exactly suited to the susceptibility
of the diseased part and perform the same class of
functions that nature has assigned; and second, they act
directly on those parts where the action of the drug is
desired. A distinguished veterinary surgeon, Dr. Haycock,
who was also well acquainted with many systems of
medicine, praised homoeopathy. In his words, "it cures
any injurious effects upon constitutional powers, it saves
more animals and it costs less." A case of acute
indigestion with constipation may be cured by nux vomica
 and mag phos 30 potency, by administering few globules
in water, in about half the time taken by allopathic
treatment.

8. The homoeopathic medicines have no side-effects and are

easy to administer, so easy that in many cases the owners
of the domestic animals themselves may administer the
drugs without having to wait for a veterinary surgeon.

9. In homoeopathic system of treatment, there is no blood-

letting, blistering, purging or other painful and debilitating
procedures, which may reduce the value of the animal after
recovery. On the contrary, it shortens the recovery period
allowing to regain strength early.

10. Taylor and Smith have rightly emphasised that

homoeopathic remedies never clash with analgesics,
vitamins or physical therapy. Antibiotics, tranquillizers, etc.
can be used along with homoeopathic drugs. Tonics are
generally needed to correct nutritive deficiencies. In
emergencies like traumatic conditions, burns, etc.
homoeopathic treatment can be employed successfully. As
a general convention, homoeopathic remedies are not
advised in severe conditions, but administration of fluid and
electrolytes, blood transfusions etc. are not alien to
homoeopathic practice. It is my experience, also
corroborated by the observations of Dr. Pai and Dr.
Chrystoferday, that homoeopathy and allopathy are not
incompatible. As a matter of fact, they act synergistically.
In severe cases, where homoeopathic remedies are not
selected fast, limited use of modern drugs in addition
would produce dramatic results. For example, in septic
and toxaemic fevers, suitable antibiotics can be adminis-
tered for 3 or 4 days along with homoeopathic remedies.
Under the combined therapy fever would generally subside
early, then the antibiotics can be stopped and the
HOMOEOPATHY IN VETERINARY PRACTICE

homoeopathic remedies may be allowed to continue till all

the symptoms disappear.

11. Use of allopathic drugs should be allowed in addition to

homoeopathic remedies, specially in emergencies, where
it may prove life-saving. For example, antibiotics in
tetanus, tonics and vitamin preparations where indicated.
There is absolutely no risk or disadvantage in this rational
approach. The ultimate beneficiary of any therapy is the
patient and it is his medical needs which should dictate
the type of treatment. According to Dr. P.N. Pai, "No system
of medicinal therapy can lay claim to perfection; different
systems can be complementary to one another. Every
system has its important place in the treatment of
diseases."

12. Side effects of allopathic medicines, vaccines and

radiopathy may also be removed by homoeopathic
medicines. Side-effects of vaccine, prepared from the
causal pathogenic bacteria, can be cured by Thuja or
nosodes. Effects of excess administration of digitalis can
be cured by Nitric acid or Cinchona. If side-effects of
vegetable medicines are encountered, nux vomica is
useful. Side-effects of hormones, antibiotics, corticosteroids
can be countered by using potentised forms of the same
medicines. One should not however forget that along with
homoeopathic treatment, balanced diet and good manage-
ment is very essential and no drug can possibly be the
substitute for these imperatives.
CHAPTER - 2

ADMINISTRATION OF HOMOEOPATHIC
MEDICINES TO ANIMALS

Homoeopathic medicines can be used internally and

externally. For optimum results, these medicines should be
internally administered preferably 15 to 30 minutes prior to or
after the feeding schedule.

I N T E R N A L U S E : For internal use, homoeopathic medicines are

available in following forms.

1. Mother tinctures.

2. Triturated powder or pills.

3. Potentiated dilutions.

1 . M o t h e r tincture: For large animals, like cattle and

horse, 10 drops of tincture should be mixed with clean cold water
and be drenched by bottles. The bottle should be cleaned before
it is used for other animals. Five drops of tinctures are used
for small animals, e.g., sheep, goat, swine and dogs.

2. P o w d e r or pills: Triturates or pellets may be placed

dry orNpngue of the animal or it may be mixed with feed and
given to ^ i m a l s . The powders are given at a dose rate of two
grains to leirge animals and one grain to small animals.
 3. Potentiated dilutions: Potentised dilutions are
administered by using vehicles, like globules, pellets or disks,
which can be soaked with the dilutions and kept in labelled
bottles. The globules can be drenched or fed to sick animals
alongwith food. The medicines should be kept away from light
and heat, so that the potency of these medicines can be retained
for months and even years. When the medicated globules are
directly placed on the tongue, these get dissolved in saliva and
the drug is absorbed. It is not necessary to swallow a
homoeopathic medicine. Homoeopathic drugs have an
advantage over the allopathic drugs in that these can be
absorbed through palate or tongue. Initially it may look tedious
but a little practice will make the attendants proficient in
administration of homoeopathic drugs to animals. If large number
of animals in the herd are to be treated, the remedies may also
be added in drinking water, also for this purpose tinctures or
triturated powders can be mixed with feed. This technique is
usually followed in dairy and poultry farms for the purpose of
prevention of disease on the herd or flock. Remedies may also
be administered by injections, provided that certain safeguards
and precautions are observed, for example, sterilization of
syringe, etc.

U s e of potencies:

In the process of potentiation the diluted drug is either

triturated or successed. Potentiation eliminates toxic effects and
modifies the efficacy of homoeopathic drugs. The mother tincture
is the basic preparation and it is denoted by symbol "<()". Acute
disease conditions may require higher strength of the remedies,
whereas chronic diseases involving tissue pathology can be
countered by relatively lower potencies.

Frequency of d o s e s :

Frequency of medication depends entire upon the severity

of the disease. In very violent cases, the dose may be repeated
every ten to thirty minutes. In less severe cases, at every two
to four hours, whereas in chronic cases, medication once or twice
daily may be sufficient.

EXTERNAL USE

Very few homoeopathic medicines are used in the form

of lotions and ointment. Lotions are prepared by mixing one
tablespoonful of mother tincture with half a pint of pure water
for external use.

1. A r n i c a montana: Useful in contusion, mechanical injuries,

blows, falls etc. Its prompt use in stiffness, swellings,
soreness resulting from bruises, prevents further tissue
damage. Its application on surgical wounds has proved
invaluable. Bruised parts are bathed with a cloth soaked
in lotion or a lint applied. Covering the wound with a dry
cloth will prevent evaporation of the drugs. Arnica lotion
is the most efficient application for bruises, contusions,
collar galls or external inflammatory conditions produced
by constant blows or friction. Caution: Not to be applied
over cut surfaces.

2. C a l e n d u l a officinalis: It is useful in cuts, wounds, stabs,

in which the flesh is torn and which needs healing by
granulation. It also controls bleeding, relieves severe pain
caused due to accident.

3. R h u s t o x i c o d e n d r o n : It has a great value in sprain,

injuries to ligaments, tendons, joints and membranes in
rheumatism.

M O T H E R T I N C T U R E : A mother tincture is the concen-

trated form of the plant juice or extract of an element (e.g.
mercury, sulphur, etc) prepared by extraction and filtration in a
mixture of strong alcohol and water.
 T R I T U R A T I O N : This is a process by which a solid
substance, such as a metal, is ground in pestle with pure lactose
powder to produce a colloidal gel. This can be mixed with alcohol
and water to form the mother tincture

D I L U T I O N : One drop of mother tincture is diluted with

ninetynine drops of alcohol to give a potency of 1 C (one in
hundred). When one drop of potency 1 C is diluted again with
ninetynine parts of alcohol it gives 2 C potency, (one in ten
thousand). With such serial dilution, potency 12 C, 30 C, 200
C or 1 M, etc. can be prepared. At each stage, the dilution is
thoroughly shaken. Generally the remedies used in veterinary
practice are of 30 C potency.

P O T E N C Y : Potency means strength of the remedy. At

each dilution it is necessary to succuss the remedy in order
to increase its potency. Succussion is the process of stroking
the bottle containing the liquid vigorously, by hand or
mechanically.

H O W T H E R E M E D Y A C T S - The exact mechanism of

action of homoeopathic remedies is still not understood. As per
Hahnemann, it may be acting through the release of some kind
of energy. This energy stimulates the body's own defence
mechanism, the vital force, to counteract the disease process.

ADMINISTRATION OF REMEDIES:

1. Store the medicines in well-corked containers in a dark,

cool place, away from bright light and strong odours.

2. Each dose should be given at least half an hour prior to

or after food. The tablets are sweet in taste so animals
chew or suck it.

The tablets are put either on or under the tongue or may

also be slipped in between the lips at the corner of the mouth
which is held closed for a short time. It may also be poured by
spoon or with water by bottles.

S o u r c e of h o m o e o p a t h i c drugs: Homoeopathic medi-

cines are derived from

1) Mineral kingdom 2) Plant or vegetable kingdom 3)

Animal kingdom 4) Nosodes 5) Sarcodes 6) Imponderabilia.

1. Mineral k i n g d o m : Minerals, metals, chemicals, both

organic and inorganic. Sulphur, phosphorus, ferrum etc.

2. V e g e t a b l e k i n g d o m : Aconite napellus, Belladonna,

Arnica, Bryonia, Calendula etc.

3. A n i m a l k i n g d o m : Coccus cacti, Lachesis, Naja tripudians.

4. S a r c o d e s : Certain tissues and secretions of healthy

animals are used, e.g., Adrenalin, internal secretion of
suprarenal glands and Thyroidinum, which is a dried
thyroid extract of sheep.

5. N o s o d e s : Nosodes are obtained from human or animal

sources, the pathological products, bacilli and virus.

6. Imponderabilia: The immaterial, weightless belongs to

this class, e.g., vials containing alcohol is exposed to X-
ray, sugar of milk or distilled water is exposed to the entire
magnets producing strong magnetic field.
CHAPTER - 3

PREVENTION OF DISEASE
BY HOMOEOPATHY

Homoeopathic remedies prepared from infected tissues,

discharges or causal organisms are called nosodes. In other
words, nosodes are potentised disease products obtained from
any diseased part of the body, e.g., lymph nodes, respiratory
secretions, nasal discharges, etc. In specific diseases, such as
bacterial, viral, and protozoal, the causative organisms, may or
may not be present but the efficiency of the nosode in no way
depends on the presence of organisms. The response of the
tissue to the invasion by bacteria or other antigens results in
formation of substances which are in effect the basis of the
nosode.

Homoeopathic oral vaccines are prepared from actual

organisms associated with the disease and may derive from
filtrates containing only exotoxins of the bacteria or from
emulsions containing both organisms and their toxins. These
filtrates or emulsions are then potentised and used as oral
vaccines. Nosode in homoeopathy and vaccine in allopathy are
synonymous in meaning. As in allopathy, domestic animals can
be protected from various diseases by administering nosodes.
The disease protection by homoeopathy is advantageous over
allopathy, for example, distemper vaccine is given to dogs when
14 weeks old, still there is apprehension that this immunity may
not be protective and with time may recede. Moreover, the
vaccine cannot be administered to small pups who are more
susceptible. As a result, mortality in pups is always higher. In
contrast, nosode is prepared from distemper virus by potentisation
method and pups or dogs of any age can be protected from
canine distemper. According to Dr. Crystoferday, nosodes can
be prepared from bacteria, virus or protozoa which confer
immunity without any untoward effects. It is well known that
different bacteria have predilection for specific organs, systems
or tissues, hence nosodes prepared from such tissues and
administered in the same area confer greater immunity than their
toxins.

Side-effects or permanent damages caused by bacteria or

virus during the disease processes can also be cured by using
the nosodes of same bacteria or viruses.

Some of the diseases are produced due to physical forces,

e.g., damage due to difficult birth can be protected by
caulophyllum, Pulsatilla, calcarea phos. Interestingly, same
medicines can also be curative in above disorders. Surgical
shock during operations or postoperative shock can be protected
or cured by arnica montana, calcarea fluor, straphisagria. Side-
effects of anaesthetics and sedatives, such as, chlorpromazine,
opium, etc., can be countered by calcarea phos. Rickets
(bending of bones) and frequent fractures can be prevented by
calcarea carbonica, calcarea phos and magnesia phos.

Scar formation after wound may be avoided by thuja, or

silicea given orally and application of calendula. Formation of
corneal ulcers can be avoided by the use of homoeopathic
mercurial drugs.
S a m u a l H a h n e m a n n ' s postulation of h o m o e o p a t h y

An inimical force in the form of a disease is the morbid

influence upon the vital force. Symptoms are expressions of the
influence of the disease on the vital force. An effective medicine
is one which will minimise those symptoms by strengthening the
vital force. Medicine is more powerful than the disease, and
so medicines overpower the disease. The vital force extinguishes
the temporary influence of medicine and restores health. Doubts
have been expressed about the mode of action of the diluted
potencies, but one must realize that a doctor should strive to
correct the imbalance in the body systems so that the body itself
gets rid of the disease. The medicines thus should be the means
of strengthening the body and should not be targeted to cure
the disease directly. That is the reason why homoeopathic
medicines are always administered in dilutions. Thus these
medicines do not produce any side-effects.

T y p e s of n o s o d e s

A u t o n o s o d e s : This is prepared from material provided by

the patient himself, e.g., pus from a chronic sinus or fistula
which after potentisation can be used for treatment of the same
disease in the same patient. Autonosodes are usually employed
in refractory cases where the indicated remedies have failed to
produce desired response.

B o w e l n o s o d e s : Some bowel flora, e.g., the non-lactose-

fermenting bacteria collected from calves suffering from coli
bacillosis or coccidiosis, are potentised and used against these
types of diarrhoea as curative and preventive nosode. Some
nosodes have a complementary effect on certain homoeopathic
remedies and, therefore, may be used in conjugation. Nosodes
can also be used for therapeutic purposes, either alone or along
with the indicated remedies. In acute calf scour, the nosode
may be given three times a day for two days. In chronic disease
conditions and during convalescence a single dose may be
sufficient.

Following useful nosodes are described in detail:

Bacillinum: Prepared from tuberculous lung, it is

extremely useful in the treatment of ringworm and similar skin
diseases as well as in chronic bacterial diseases as a
complementary remedy.

Corynebacterium p y r o g e n e s : Prepared from summer

mastitis disease material and discharges from the udder, it is
useful as prophylactic and curative.

Carcinosin: This is sparsely used as a remedy in cattle

treatment. It is helpful in treating diseases caused due to
glandular enlargement and when accompanied with pyrexia.

E. coli n o s o d e a n d oral v a c c i n e : This nosode is

prepared from various strains of E. coli or related bacteria. Better
results are obtained from the isolates collected from human
sources. It prevents and cures diseases such as coli bacillosis
and mastitis caused by E. coli.

Folliculinum: This nosode is prepared from corpus luteum

of the domestic animals. It is useful for the treatment of various
ovarian and allied disorders.

O o p h o r i n u m : This is prepared from ovarian hormones.

It is useful in ovarian functional disorders, e.g., sterility. It is also
useful in several skin disorders associated with hormonal
imbalance.

Psorinum (scabies vesicle): It is a remedy for skin

diseases such as ringworm, dry coat and great itching.

P y r o g e n i u m (pyrogen): Decaying animal proteins are

used in its preparation. This nosode is extremely useful for
treating cases of septicaemia or toxaemia which is accompanied
by pyrexia, weak thready pulse and depleted vital physiological
reserves of the body. It also provides good response in the
disease characterized by offensive discharges. Thus it is useful
in puerperal fever and retained membranes after abortion.

S a l m o n e l l a n o s o d e a n d oral v a c c i n e : Prepared from

Salmonella organisms associated with this disease in calves and
used both prophylactically and therapeutically.

S t r e p t o c o c c u s n o s o d e and oral v a c c i n e : It is prepared

from strains of haemolytic streptococci. The nosode is useful in
infections associated with this bacteria, like joint-ill in calves. It
also controls mastitis caused by salmonella organism.

S y c o t i c co: It is prepared from non-lactose-fermenting

bacilli found in large intestine. It has been used successfully in
intestinal conditions, e.g., catarrhal inflammation of mucous
membrane in calf coccidiosis.

T u b e r c u l i n u m aviaire: Avian sources provide the material

for this nosode. This has been proved useful in the treatment
of pneumonia in calves (along with indicated remedies). This
nosode is specially helpful in chronic disease conditions.

POULTRY DISEASES

Homoeopathic medicines are equally efficient in the

treatment of poultry diseases. They are economical, easy to
administer, safe and quick-acting. Poultry industry is growing
fast, and for better results and higher profits more and more
poultry farmers are switching over to homoeopathic medicines.

Intensive raising of poultry in commercial farms inevitably

exposes the flock to various diseases which causes mortality and
loss of earning. Losses due to diseases in poultry can be
minimised with homoeopathic medicines prepared from herbs,
minerals and organic matters. In many states in India, e.g.,
Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana,
homoeopathic medicines are commonly used in poultry diseases
because of its low cost, safe and quick action. These medicines
increase egg production and growth of the birds is faster resulting
in better profits. These drugs can be readily mixed in water or
feed. Following poultry diseases can be controlled by homoeopathic
medicines.

COCCIDIOSIS

It is a protozoal disease which causes heavy loss to the

poultry industry. The disease is generally observed in young
growing birds. The disease lowers vitality, retards development,
delays egg laying and may even cause death. In the laying flocks,
it invariably brings down egg production. It is a common disease
in poultry. In chicks Eimeria tanella infection is most common
at around 6 weeks of age. In growers, Eimeria nicatrex infection
is common at 11-20 weeks age, and is termed intestinal
coccidiosis. In layers, E. acervulina is most frequently
encountered.

S y m p t o m s : In chicks, bloody diarrhoea is the first

prominent sign. The affected chicks huddle together at one place.
They look sleepy with ruffled feathers, and are severely anaemic.
Mortality may be around 20% within 2 to 3 days. Caecum is filled
with blood-tinged exudate. In grower birds the signs are
restlessness with drooping wing and dehydration. Mortality
usually starts on 5th day reaching peak on 7th day. Blood-tinged
droppings may be present. In layers, no characteristic signs other
than drop in egg production, low feed consumption and
unthriftiness are evident. On post-mortem white patches and
typical ladder-like lesions are visible from the serosal surface
which are more clear on opening the duodenum. Mucous
membranes may be thickened and greyish yellow. Ballooning of
middle intestinal track is pathognomonic lesion. In severe cases,
lesions may extend to the entire length of the digestive tract.
On opening the intestine a red jelly-like blood-tinged exudate is
a common finding. In recent experiments with homoeopathy,
Merc sol 30 has proved successful as preventive and therapeutic
drug. With this drug the mortality can be curtailed within a very
short period. One hundred ml Merc sol 30 can be mixed in 80
litres of clean plain water and administered 4 times a day till
the birds are symptomless. Combination of the following
remedies have also proved both preventive and curative. Merc
cor 30, Nux vom 30, Sulphur 30, each five millilitre mixed in water
for 100 birds/This mixture can be administered for 3 days. It
is one of the safest and economical drugs available for poultry.
RANIKHET DISEASE

It is a highly infectious disease causing devastation in the

poultry industry. The disease is caused by a filtrable virus. The
virus affects all age groups of birds.

S y m p t o m s : Sneezing, coughing and gasping, watery

diarrhoea of characteristic odour are some of the general signs
exhibited by the affected birds in the early stage of the disease.
Nervous symptoms, like twisting of the head under the body or
from side to side may develop. Such birds stagger or circle while
walking and in terminal stages paralysis of one or both legs or
both wings is a common finding. The feed consumption is
severely depressed and the affected birds can be found huddled
together in corners. Mortality due to this disease ranges from
80 to 90%. In older birds similar symptoms are common and
in addition diarrhoea of yellowish green colour. As soon as the
disease is confirmed all the medicated water must be withdrawn
and the drinking water trough must be well cleaned and dried
in the sun. It would be better if there is a little water starvation
to the birds.

Prevention & treatment:

Carbo veg 30 25 ml
Veratrum alb 30 25 ml
Belladonna 30 25 ml
Kali phos 30 25 ml

This 100 ml mixture can be diluted in 80 litres of cool fresh

water which is sufficient for 400 birds. The solution can be
repeated every alternate day till the disease subsides. Generally
very few doses are sufficient to control the disease. It is also
beneficial to give 2 ml of this mixture by intramuscular injection
to the birds every 2 to 4 hours.
FOWL POX

It is highly contagious and infectious disease which affects

birds of all ages. The young birds, however, are more susceptible
and mortality in these birds is very high. Three forms of this
disease are generally encountered in poultry birds.

1) Skin or cutaneous form in which the affected birds show

wart-like nodules on the exposed parts of the body, e.g.,
head.

2) Buccal or mouth form in which yellowish cheesy

membranes are formed in the mouth.

3) Oculo-nasal form in which the eyes and the nasal cavities

are involved. In advanced stages the oculo-nasal cavities
may be occluded by the cheesy yellow pus. The last two
forms are also called avian diphtheria or canker.

It has been observed that sometimes even after vaccination

epidemics of pox occur in the same flock causing heavy loss
of egg production. Only the homoeopathic system offers a
plausible remedy for pox.

Treatment: A single dose of Variolinum 30 is effective in

arresting pox. 10 ml of the drug is mixed in 8 litres of plain water,
sufficient for 100 birds. Even after a lapse of one week if pox
is still persisting the same drug with an increased potency of
200 can be tried. If the scabs are present, it is useful to give
Thuja, 6th potency, (10 ml dissolved in 8 litres of plain water).
Following combinations are also found useful for prevention and
control of fowl pox.
Pulsatilla 200 5 ml
Thuja 200 5 ml
Natrum sulph 200 5 ml
mixed in 8 litres of water is sufficient for 100 birds.
FOWL C H O L E R A

The disease can easily be confused with many other

poultry diseases which are characterized by profuse diarrhoea,
e.g. Ranikhet disease (greenish yellow diarrhoea). It is a
septicaemic disease caused by bacteria Pasteurella aviseptica.
Postmortem examination shows haemorrhages under inner lining
of the heart, intestines, liver, spleen, kidneys and heart sac. The
progress of the disease is rapid so there is hardly any time for
carrying out treatment. The disease is diagnosed after it
becomes chronic and by that time the owner of the poultry flock
might have used antibiotics, feed supplements, nitrofurans in the
food or added vitamins with antibiotics as egg formula in the
water. Due to this there is every possibility that the affected
birds develop resistance to other drugs.

Treatment:
In large animals for chronic diseases, Sulphur 30 is
extensively used and the same drug can be safely employed
in poultry for treating fowl cholera

Sulphur 30 10 ml can be mixed in 8 litres of fresh water

for 100 birds. A single dose is sufficient to arrest mortality. Good
results have also been reported when following mixture is used.

Calcarea phos 6 5 ml
Ferrum phos 6 5 ml
Kali sulph 6 5 ml
Kali phos 6 5 ml

The above mixture can be mixed in 16 litres fresh water

which is sufficient for 100 birds and can be administered 4 times
a day for seven days.
RESPIRATORY DISEASE

S y m p t o m s : Sniffing, sneezing, nasal discharges, swollen

sinuses of the eyes are the prominent signs in respiratory
diseases, The other signs include respiratory distress, loss of
appetite and drop in egg production. The disease spreads slowly
among flocks, which is in contrast to other infectious diseases
like bronchitis and Ranikhet disease.

Treatment:

Give Antimony tart 30, 25 ml mixed in 16 litres of water

for 100 birds. This medicine can be repeated every third day
till such time as the disease is controlled.

CHRONIC RESPIRATORY DISEASE

Chronic respiratory disease (C.R.D.) is the commonest

disease in domestic poultry. Mycoplasma gallinarum is a
ubiquitous organism present in many poultry farms which
commonly affects the birds whenever the resistance is lowered.
Broilers of 4 to 8 weeks are prone to this infection. In affected
birds the feed consumption is lowered. Birds exhibit rales,
coughing and nasal discharges. In layer birds moderate drop in
egg production, lameness and neck paralysis are common
symptoms in C.R.D.

Treatment:
Thuja 200 5 ml
Natrum sulph 200 5 ml
Carbo veg 30 5 ml
Bryonia 30 5 ml
This can be mixed in 8 litres of drinking water which is
sufficient to treat 100 birds for 3 days.
CORYZA

It is acute respiratory disease of poultry (growers and

layers). The recovered birds act as reservoir of infection. It
commonly attacks growers in winter months or whenever birds
are weakened by faulty management practices or poor nutrition.

S y m p t o m s : Serous and/or mucous nasal discharges,

~edema of the face with conjunctivitis, swollen wattles in males,
laboured breathing with rales and lowered feed and water
consumption are some of the prominent signs in this disease.
Due to severe drop in egg production, the culling rate in the flock
is high. A foul odour may be detected when the disease has
become chronic and complicated with other bacteria. The
disease has high morbidity and low mortality.

Treatment:

Sabadilla 200 5 ml
Kali bich 200 5 ml
Allium cepa 200 5 ml

15 ml of the above mixture dissolved in 8 litre drinking

water is sufficient for 100 birds. The treatment should be carried
out for at least 3 to 5 days.

CULL

Culling of birds is necessary for any commercial poultry

industry, whereas the farmers are always reluctant to practise
it. In such situation, these birds should be maintained separately.

Treatment:

Natrum mur 30, 25 ml mixed in 20 litres of water, can be

given to 140 birds on every alternate day. This treatment has
proved successful in improving the condition of the birds. Some
birds may even resume production. Alfalfa 30 + five phos 30
gives fine results.

WORMS

Consumption of raw flesh may be one of the causes of

worms in birds, although there are several other routes through
which the birds might be infected with different worms. As a
general rule, China or the active principle of the remedy, santonin,
is the most effective remedy in various worm infestations.

TAPEWORMS

Even though it is not a serious threat to the birds, it may

lower the resistance and predispose them to various infections.
All the drugs in vogue are good in expelling the gravid segments
but not the scolex.

Treatment:

Filix mas 30 removes even the scolices of the tapeworms.

20 ml of the drug can be dissolved in 20 litres of water which
can be safely administered for 3 days to 100 birds. The drug
however must be repeated after three weeks.

P R O L A P S E OF C L O A C A

As this is a management disease, it is always advisable

to correct the defect and then resort to medication and de-
beaking. If the mortality continues even after correcting the
management errors and de-beaking, Kali phos 30 at a dose rate
of 25 ml for 100 birds may be given on alternate days. This
drug has been found very useful in correcting this defect.

SUNSTROKE

In poultry, losses from sunstroke in summer is inevitable

as in birds physiological mechanism to tolerate heat is not well
developed. The losses are more if arrangements to protect the
birds from heat in summer are not made. The mortality is higher
in broilers and young chicken. In homoeopathic practice following
drugs in equal quantities mixed in drinking water are beneficial
as preventive and curative.

Natrum mur 6 100 ml

Calcarea carb 6 100 ml
Glonoine 30 100 ml

This mixture can be mixed in 80 litres of water which is

sufficient for 800 birds.

STRESS

In poultry stress is always evidenced due to transport,

vaccination, deworming and de-beaking. In homoeopathy there
are drugs available for stress which are cheap but as effective
as the other medicines used regularly by farmers.
Arnica montana 200
plus
Five phos 30
15 ml in 5 litres of water for 100 birds given for 3 days,
morning only.

BUMBLE FOOT

Injuries such as cuts, bruises, in foot pads as a result of

nails, sharp splinters may result in bumble foot.

Treatment:

Arnica 30 20 ml mixed in 8 litres of warm water for 100

birds. Repeat the medicine after every 4 hours for three or four
days. If pus is present, give Hepar sulph and Silica. Calendula
may be used externally.
EGG PROMOTION AND GROWTH

Amino acids, vitamins and minerals play an important role

in production in layers, growth in broilers and young chicken.
Although they are required in small amounts, the presence and
absence of these make all the difference between profit and loss.
Thus, for good growth, egg production, optimum hatchability of
eggs and prevention of deficiency diseases, a proper balance
of the above nutrients is most critical. Following formula has
proved efficient and profitable.

For broiler (100 birds) For Layers (100 birds)

Alfalfa 30 4-5 ml to 20 ml 3-4 ml. to 15-20 ml for 7

days in a month regularly.
Calcarea phos 30 4-5 ml to 25 ml 3-4 ml
Ferrum phos 30 4-5 ml 5 days 3-4 ml
Kali phos 30 4-5 ml 7 days 3-4 ml
Natrum phos 30 4-5 ml from
4th week 3-4 ml

In the above formulae Alfalfa (Lucerne grass or California

clover extract) potentised is a constituent which is rich in all the
amino acids essential for poultry. This formula increases the egg
production in layers and promotes growth in broilers, cockerels
and young chicken. The nutritive value of Alfalfa can be gauged
from its chemical composition.
1. Crude protein 19.3%
2. Calcium 1.6%
3. Phosphorus 0.25%
4. Copper 6.20%
5. Magnesium 0.06%
6. Iron up to max 0.16%
7. Cobalt 0.14%
 8. Zinc & selenium 8 PPM on dry weight
basis per pound.

Alfalfa also contains vitamin B1, B2, niacin, folic acid,

tocoferol and oestrogen in sufficient quantities to meet the needs
of cattle and birds.

Arginine, histidine, isoleucin, valine and cystine amino

acids make Alfalfa a natural tonic.

The above combination is a growth promoter in layers.

Following properties are seen:

1. Extends period of high egg production.

2. Improves normal egg production throughout the laying

cycle when routinely used for one week in a month.

3. It increases the resistance power against diseases so it

improves egg production even in stress or diseased
condition.

4. It increases feed efficiency and reduces culling rate.

5. Provides more profit per layer per year.

Layer: For increasing the egg production in stress

condition and to maintain normal egg production throughout
laying cycle.

Broilers a n d cockerels: For optimum growth and feed

efficiency.

PROLAPSE OF UTERUS

In certain strains of white leghorn this disease is very

commonly encountered. In this disease birds usually die of
excessive bleeding. This cannot be controlled by only changes
in management practices. Moreover, there are no medicines in
allopathy. The homoeopathic medicines however work effectively
and have been successfully tried in controlling prolapse.

Treatment:

Following combination of homoeopathic medicines are

useful:
1. Helonias 2 0 0 5 ml
2. Ferrum phos 3 0 5 ml
3. Kali mur 3 0 5 ml
4. Calc fluor 3 0 5 ml
2 0 ml for 100 birds for 3 days followed by once weekly
for 3 to 4 weeks will control prolapse.

GUMBORO DISEASE

S y m p t o m s : Infected birds manifest signs of droopiness,

anorexia, depression, severe prostration, incoordination, trem-
bling, wobbly gait, whitish watery diarrhoea, soiled vent feathers,
vent picking, inflammation of the vent, loss of appetite and
dehydration. Course of the disease is modified due to parental
immunity.

Treatment:
Gelsemium 3 0
Acid phos 3 0
Calcarea phos 3 0
5 0 ml of each to be mixed in 8 0 litres of fresh water for
8 0 0 birds.

Dr. Ashok Sahni and Dr. Rajinder Singh Grewas of

Jalandhar tried the following homoeopathic medicines in an
outbreak of this disease, and all ailing birds were cured and
showed normal weight gain and egg production.
 L a c h e s i s 2 0 0 : 10 ml/100 birds followed by a combination
of Gelsemium 30 and China 30 10 ml/100 birds after a gap of
12 hours.

CONTUSION

Contusion is a blow or hurt in which the bone does not

fracture.

Treatment:

Clean the part with one part Arnica <>

j and 20 parts water.
The same mixture can also be given orally. For optimum benefit,
Arnica should be used in diluted form.

DIARRHOEA AND DYSENTERY

Due to watery diarrhoea the anal region of the birds may

be soiled. The discharges may be copious and blood-tinged.

Treatment:

Ipecacuanha pellets may be given in water or the drug may

also be crushed and given along with the feed.

A r s e n i c u m : If the disease is due to spoiled feed.

M e r c u r i u s cor: If there is mucus and blood.

HOARSENESS

For hoarseness of sound following medicines are effective:

A c o n i t e : If the bird sneezes due to cold.

C a u s t i c u m : When there is simple hoarseness with rough

tone.

Pulsatilla: If there is severe intermittent hoarseness with

watery eyes.

VITAMIN DEFICIENCY DISEASES AND HOMOEOPATHIC

REMEDY.

Generally medicines like Vitamin A, B, C, D, E, K are

prescribed to make up the deficiency when the normal food fails
to provide them, In my opinion administering vitamins is not
enough, what is needed is to improve the body systems so that
absorption and assimilation of the vitamins available in food is
possible. Homoeopathy provides these drugs not only to meet
the deficiency but also to correct the system enabling optimum
assimilation of vitamins. Following combinations are suggested.

1. Multivitamin

DISEASES OF DOG

I have tried to explain in simple terms the various diseases

and conditions that can affect pet dogs, and indicated
homoeopathic treatment that may be useful and helpful either
alone for simple ailments, or in conjugation with allopathic
medicines for more serious and complicated cases.

1. A B S C E S S (boil)

Dogs are often seen fighting and if the skin is ruptured

an abscess may follow in a few days, because the teeth may
carry infection (bacteria).

a. A p i s mellifica 12: Swelling and redness around the

boil. 1 pill three times a day until it bursts or subsides.

b. Hepar s u l p h 30: When abscess is forming. Especially

when there is frequent occurrence of boils in different parts of
the body and little wound becomes septic. One pill three times
daily for one week. If abscess has already formed, Hepar sulph
200 breaks it open in a short time.

2. A C C I D E N T : Most common accidents is road traffic

accident.

a A c o n i t u m 12: This is a short acting remedy and should

be repeated every quarter of an hour for 4 to 6 doses as a first
aid measure.

b. Arnica 30: Given to overcome shock, haemorrhage and

bruising. One pill every two hours up to 4 doses, then one pill
three or four times daily.

c. R h u s t o x 30: Strain or muscular stiffness after

excessive exercise or prolonged exposure to wet and cold. Give
one tablet 4 times daily until relief.

3. A N O R E X I A : If your dog refuses food but seems to

be alert, active and interested, there is nothing to worry. But
if there are signs of illness then give following treatment.

a. Arsenic 12: If loss of appetite is due to indigestion and

the dog drinks little water frequently, give one globule three times
daily.

b. Bryonia 6: To increase desire for food give one pill

thrice daily.

c. Nux v o m i c a 6: If anorexia is due to ill effects of

overeating give one globule 4 times daily. It will bring his appetite
to normal.

d. B i o c h e m i c c o m b i n a t i o n : A mixture of CP 3x or 12x,
FP 12x, KM 3x, KS 3x, NM 3x, NP 3x, and S 12x may be used.

e. Calcarea phos 3x or 12x: If there is craving for

unnatural things like chalk, clay, charcoal etc. given this remedy.

4. A R T H R I T I S : Arthritis means changes in the articular

surface of a joint, due to inflammation, more commonly seen in
older dogs. Joint is visibly swollen, causing pain and lameness.

a. Arnica 30: Swelling, bruising pain in arthritis. One

globule 3 times daily for few days.
 b. A p i s mellifica 30: Especially when there is swelling
with pain and underlying skin can be seen red. One globule
per hour for 4 doses, followed by one three times daily.

c. Bryonia 6: This is more used in chronic, longstanding

forms of arthritis. Symptoms are aggravated by movement. One
globule three times daily or as required.

d. B i o c h e m i c : If attack is new, give NP 3x 4 times daily

tor 1 week. If there is improvement it may be continued. If
not, give NP 6x in the same way. If that also does not give good
result give mixture of MP 6x, NM 6x, and S 3x. If trouble is old
(chronic), mixture of MP 6x, NM 6x, NS 6x, and KS 3x.

e. C o n i u m 6: It is useful in large breeds who gradually

lose the use of their hind legs as they get older. They have
difficulty in getting up and their hind legs tend to sway as they
move. Give one globule 3 times daily for 10 days. Repeat monthly
if necessary.

f. R h u s tox 6: Pain feels better by movement, but unwilling

to get up, once it gets up and starts to move, feels better. One
globule three or four times daily.

Local a p p l i c a t i o n : Take one tola (i.e. 2/5th oz) cloves,

and 1 tola mustard oil. Boil it in brass cup and cool. Apply
it at night and cover with cotton and tie. This should be done
from the very first day.

5. B R O N C H I T I S : Bronchitis is the inflammation of bronchi.

They are swollen, may become partially blocked with thick
exudates, reducing its lumen and preventing sufficient air to reach
the lungs.

Respiration rate increases, panting and rasping noise may

be hard. If not checked in time pneumonia or pleurisy may
deveolp. There is fever, quick pulse, dry cough and difficult
breathing.
 a A c o n i t u m 6: It helps in the onset. Give 5 doses at
the interval of 15 to 30 minutes.

b. Bryonia 6: Symptoms are aggravated by movement.

There is noticeable thirst. Give one globule 4 times daily.

c. Biochemic c o m b i n a t i o n : Mixture of FP 12x„ KM 3x,

KS 3x, NS 3x, ad S 12x. This is simply wonderful.

d. Kali bich 6: In chronic discharge from nose and mouth.

One globule 3 times daily for 10 days.

e. P h o s p h o r u s 3 0 : Racking cough which worsens when

dog goes outside into cold air. One globule two hourly for 6
doses.

6. B U R N A N D S C A L D : For burning sensation in any part

of the body: mixture of CP 3x or 12x, NM 3x and S 12x.

Cantharis 6: Very effective remedy for minor burns and

scalds. One globule hourly for four doses, then every 2 to 4 hours
during the day for few days until cure.

That the dog does not lick affected part must be observed
strictly. Calendula ointment for healing, Hypericum ointment to
relieve pains and Urtica urens should be applied as soothing
agent.

7. F R A C T U R E : The fracture itself must of course be seen

by a veterinary surgeon as soon as possible so that the

20= MANGE: This disease affects all kinds of domestic

animals, caused by mites which live on the surface of the skin.
It produces intense irritation. In some cases there may be intense
itching necessitating continuous scratching. The affected parts
are either dry and scaly or humid and ulcerous. There are
eruptions over different parts of body, particularly in the back
which causes the animal to rub and bite itself, often to such a
degree that the skin becomes raw. In some cases numerous
small pimples make their appearance and a thin watery fluid is
discharged which dries to form a dirty yellow scab. If these scabs
are removed small ulcers will be found underneath in some
cases. Tufts of hair fall off from different parts of the body and
skin becomes hard and cracked.

Treatment:

a) S u l p h u r 30: It is the most efficient of all remedies in

this complaint. One globule twice daily for 4-5 days and repeated
after a couple of weeks if there is definite improvement. For local
application ointment may be made in the proporton of one ounce

in morning and Arsenic in the evening.

c. P s o r i n u m 30: It is prepared from scabies vesicle. It

has a deep-seated and lasting action and is therefore best used
under the guidance of a homoeopath.

The scaly portion of the skin must be well cleaned by

washing with tepid water and soap and well dried with a cloth.

2 1 . P A R V O V I R U S D I S E A S E : Canine parvovirus is a new

disease of dogs detected in the year 1978. In young puppies
under 5 weeks old it affects the heart muscle causing heart
failure, weakness, collapse and death. In older puppies and adult
dogs it causes severe vomiting, diarrhoea, with rapid dehydration,
soon followed by collapse and death. This disease should be
treated immediately. Unfortunately many cases do not respond
to treatment and prevention should be the aim of every dog
owner.

Treatment:

Immediate fluid therapy by drip should be started.

 a) Merc cor 3 0 or Arsenic alb 3 0 : May be tried in
conjugation with usual medicine. These two remedies are very
useful in the treatment of acute vomiting and diarrhoea.

CHAPTER - 6

DISEASES OF CALVES

Calves of cows and buffaloes are the future progeny, which

may turn out to be a high yielding cow, a sturdy bullock, an
excellent she- or he-buffalo. Its health would amount to protecting
the future production of crop. It is always better to build up
replacement stock from farm-grown calves. It is therefore
imperative that the mortality in calves is curtailed by providing
effective treatment. Homoeopathic drugs might be a possible
answer since these have no side-effects, and are cheap and easy
to administer. Following are common calf diseases in which
homoeopathic treatment have been tried and found effective.

BACTERIAL DISEASES:
I. WHITE SCOUR OR COLIBACILLOSIS: It is a serious
acute infectious disease of calves caused by the bacteria, E. coli.
It is now accepted that many strains of E. coli organisms are
the causative agents. This disease is most common in the new-
born which ingests too much milk or indigestible feed. The
disease is also known as dietary diarrhoea. The presence of
undigested substrate in the intestine can lead to marked changes
in the bacterial flora resulting in fermentation of carbohydrate and
putrefaction of protein. Under such circumstances, E. coli or
salmonella organisms proliferate causing enteritis, colibacillosis
or salmonellosis, These diseases produce symptoms like
passage of liquid or semiliquid faeces, light yellow or white
excreta which is foul-smelling and may contain mucus. The
defecation is observed frequently. The perineum and tail are
usually soiled with faeces. Cold muzzle, subnormal temperature,
cold extremities, weak pulse, abdominal bloat are also common
symptoms in these diseases. In untreated animals complications
such as septicaemia and pneumonia may arise, when symptoms
are rise in temperature, sudden prostration and dehydration.
Calves deprived of colostrum are particularly severely affected.
Unhygienic surroundings, cold weather, infected calving pens,
and faulty diet of the dam predispose the calves to this disease.

Treatment:

It is my observation that if the treatment is carried out

promptly and properly, majority of cases can be cured by
homoeopathic drugs. Combined administration of homoeopathic
drugs and allopathic antibacterials, e.g., nitrofurazolidine,
furoxine, trimethoprimsulphamethaxole, sulphathiazole also does
good. Fluid and electrolyte therapy orally or by infusion may
be given to avoid dehydration. The cure rate is often 100%. The
calf should not be allowed to suckle the dam. The calves should
be hand-fed and diluted milk should be boiled and fed.

1. A c o n i t u m napellus 6: Useful as preliminary remedy

when disease arises suddenly or from exposure to cold wind.

Dose: One globule every one and half hour for six doses.

2. A r s e n i c u m album 3 0 : It is preferred when the faeces

are watery and the calf shows signs of strain and dehydration.
The drug is most effective when the calf shows dry skin coat,
harsh motions with cadaverous odour, increased thirst, restless-
ness.

Dose: a dose four times in a day.

 3. C h i n a officinalis 3 0 : It restores strength after the loss
of fluid. It acts directly on the intestine and controls diarrhoea.

A dose three-hourly for four doses.

4. V e r a t r u m a l b u m 3 0 : When symptoms are variable, e.g.,

stools mucoid at one time and watery at another time, this drug
is useful.

Dose: One three times daily for two days.

5. C a r b o vegetabilis 2 0 0 : Diarrhoea with abdominal colic

and flatulence.

Dose: One every hour for four days.

6. P y r o g e n 1 M : It is valuable in septicaemic
complications. It is indicated when odour of faeces is putrid and
there is fever which indicates the onset of pneumonia.

Dose: One every three hours for 4 doses.

7. D u l c a m a r a 3 0 : Diarrhoea from exposure to damp

conditions.

Dose: One dose three times daily for two days.

8. C a m p h o r a 6: Advised in stage of collapse, where the

calf shows cold extremities and involuntary evacuations.

Dose: One dose every half hour for six doses.

9. E coli n o s o d e 3 0 : This gives rapid relief.

Dose: One three times daily for two days.

If this nosode is administered immediately after birth and '

again 24, 48 and 72 hours after birth, it will prevent this disease.
Where colibacillosis is an established herd problem, this nosode
should be given to cows during the last month of pregnancy.
 II. A R T H R I T I S , O M P H A L I T I S , OMPHALOPHLEBITIS

If infection of the umbilicus occurs soon after birth these

diseases occur. Usually mixed bacterial flora is responsible, e.g.,
E. coli, Corynebacterium pyogenes, Staphylococcus and Proteus.
Bacteraemia and localization of infection may also occur in the
joints, causing arthritis. This disease is mainly due to unhygienic
farm surroundings where of the calf is born. Initially 2 to 5 days
after birth above infections produce enlarged umbilicus which is
tender and may drain a purulent matter through small fistulae.
Umbilicus may become very large and cause subacute toxaemia.
Calf is depressed, does not suckle normally and has fever. It
shows lameness due to involvement of the joints, especially the
hock, stifle and carpus. These joints are swollen, hot and painful
when touched. If the infection is pyogenic, suppuration of the
joints may take place. Swelling and pain in the navel area may
also be present,'but it is not a constant sign.

Treatment:

1. Antibiotics: Streptopenicillin is given in septicaemic

and febrile stages, along with homoeopathic remedies.

2. A c o n i t u m 3 0 : In early febrile stage.

Dose: One dose every half hour, in all four doses.

3. Bryonia 12: When joints are swollen, hot and movement

of the joints aggravates pain.

Dose: A dose every two hours, in all four doses.

4. Ruta g r a v e o l e n s 1 M : When the calf has pain with

inflammation surrounding the periosteum and tendons, especially
when carpus joints are involved.

Dose: One dose every two hours, in all 4 doses.

 5. L e d u m palustre 3 0 : When the shoulder and fetlock
joints are affected this drug may be useful.

Dose: One three times daily for 3 days.

6. B e n z o i c u m a c i d u m 6: When the hock joints and

ii'Mdoachillis are involved, this remedy alleviates the symptoms
immediately.

Dose: One every 3 hours, in all four doses.

7. Streptococcin 30: It gives good results and has proved

invaluable in this disease. Its early use will preclude any further
lioatment.

Dose: One dose 3 times daily for two days followed by

one dose every second day for three doses.

8. E. coli 3 0 : Give this remedy if colibacillosis is

suspected.

Dose: As for Streptococcin.

III. C A L F D I P H T H E R I A

In calf diphtheria, necrotic lesions are confined to the

larynx, the pharynx and the oral cavity. Causative agent of this
disease is Fusobacterium necrophorum which are present in the
lesions in large numbers. It occurs universally in young calves
due to dirty environment or rough, dry pasture. There are acute
toxaemia, fever, and salivation due to stomatitis. Gums bordering
upper teeth become swollen with foul smell emanating from the
oral cavity. When the larynx and the pharynx are involved, animal
exhibits signs of difficult breathing, coughing and distress. Tip
of the tongue may protrude and on examination it may reveal
necrotic patches. If the infection extends to the lungs, acute
pneumonia may set in.
Treatment:

1. A c o n i t u m nap 1 2 : The drug is useful in the early

febrile state.

Dose: One every half an hour, total 4 doses.

2. Mercurius solubilis 6: The drug gives beneficial effect

in swollen throat, stomatitis and salivation.

secondary pneumonia.

Dose: One dose daily for seven days.

7. B r o m i u m 6: This drug may be tried in spasmodic cough

due to bronchial congestion with mucus. Can also be used in
pneumonia.

Dose: One dose three times daily for five days.

 IV. S A L M O N E L L O S I S

In calves this disease is usually endemic although

tstricted to farms. Sometimes explosive outbreaks may also
pour. S. typhimurium an S. Dublin are the major causative
organisms in calves. Spread of the disease is by fecal or oral
contamination or from the dam which may be a carrier of the
rganisms. In calves the disease is common up to 3 months of
|ge. Three disparate syndromes may be encountered.

1. Acute septicaemia
2. Acute enteritis.
3. Chronic enteritis.

1. A c u t e septicaemia: The clinical signs are depression,

<ltillness, prostration, with high rectal temperature up to 107°F
lollowed death within 24 hours.

2. A c u t e enteritis: There is high fever up to 106°F,

incoordination of movements, muscular twitching, excessive
watery diarrhoea which is soiled with mucus and blood. The
excreta is foul-smelling, voided with severe straining. There is
complete anorexia with excessive thirst. Due to ensuing
(iohydration, the pulse and respiration rates are elevated. The
icspiration is shallow and mucosa congested. Severe dehydra-
tion, toxaemia, loss of weight and strength lead to recumbency
and the animal dies within 2 to 3 days.

3. C h r o n i c enteritis: Major clinical signs are intermittent

diarrhoea, moderate intercurrent fever and emaciation.

Treatment:

In septicaemic cases death occurs before treatment can

be started, but for other forms of the disease following remedies
are useful.
64 VETERINARY HOMOEOPATHY

1. Aconitum 30: This is given early in the acute phase.

Dose: One dose every half an hour for four doses.

2. Arsenicum album 1M: It controls the watery, foul-

smelling diarrhoea.

Dose: One dose every three hours, in all four doses.

3. Veratrum album 30: When there is forceful evacuation

of bowel.

Dose: One dose every two hours for six doses.

4. Pyrogenium 1M: Septic state, high fever, and

extremely offensive discharges.

Dose: One dose every three hours, in all four doses.

5. Rhus toxicodendron 1M: When redness in the visible

mucous membranes is pronounced.

Dose: Twice daily for four days.

6. Bryonia 30: It controls respiratory symptoms.

Dose: Twice daily for three days.

7. Salmonella nosode 30: One dose be given three times

daily or as intercurrent with above-mentioned remedies. For
prevention, one dose at birth and repeated fortnightly up to four
doses is usually sufficient.

V. INFECTIOUS KERATITIS

Infectious keratitis of cattle is caused by a Gram-negative

bacteria, Moraxella bovis (homophilus). It is not a fatal disease
but its economic impact is enormous because in untreated
animals it may lead to permanent blindness. Only cattle are
affected, and the young ones are found to be most susceptible.
[ L _
DISEASES OF CALVES

housed in over-crowded unsanitary condition may also get

65

infection. Its spread in summer is hastened by flies. Incubation

period of the disease generally is 2 to 3 days but it may extend
up to Symptoms:
3 weeks. Infection may be found in one or both eyes.
cConjunctivae become red accompanied by copious watery
lachrymation and photophobia. A white opaque spot develops on
the cornea which rapidly increases in size until it covers entire
cornea leading to ulceration and opacity. Failure to feed due to
blindness may be permanent and the animal may die due to
starvation. Colour of the opacity varies from white to deep yellow.
Secondary infection by pyogenic bacteria is common in neglected
cases leading to ophthalmia with purulent discharge. It is
estimated that around 2% of the eyes may show complete
residual opacity, but in majority of cases it may heal completely
with a small white scar persisting in some cases.

Treatment:

Early stage responds well to treatment with ophthalmic

ointments and solutions containing chloramphenicol,
oxytetracycline, penicillin, or streptomycin. In my observation,
100% recovery without residual effect can be ensured if
homoeopathic treatment is administered orally along with
antibiotic ointment.

1. Aconitum 30: When the disease is in early stage,

only inflammation, a dose of this drug every hour, usually for
five dose, is sufficient for complete recovery.

2. Kali hydriodicum 200: When there is lachrymation

and redness of the eyelids.

Dose: One dose 3 times daily, in all four doses.

i
 3. Silicea 2 0 0 : When corneal opacity has set in. It also
aids resorption of scar tissue.

D o s e : One dose twice daily for five days.

4. A c i d nltrrcum 200: When the process of corneal

ulceration has started this drug would bring about speedy
resolution.

D o s e : One dose twice daily for five doses.

5. A r g e n t u m nitricum 3 0 : Ophthalmia with purulent

discharge.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for one week.

6. Cineraria 3 0 + Silicea 3 0 : This homoeopathic

combination is useful when corneal opacity has set in.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for one week.

Externally Calendula + Hypericum + Cineraria lotion in

dilution of 1:10 may be made and the eyes bathed frequently
with it.

P r e v e n t i o n : Prevention of the disease is possible by

using the nosode of the causal bacteria. One dose daily for
three days followed by monthly dose for three months.

VI. L E P T O S P I R O S I S

It is an infectious disease caused by Leptospira

icterohaemorrhagiae, a spirochaeta bacteria. In calves it is
usually seen in winter, the source of infection being food
contaminated with rat urine. Once an animal is infected, the
disease can be spread directly from calf to calf. Calves are likely
to develop the septicaemic form of the disease, and the mortality
rate is much higher than in adults.
 S y m p t o m s : During the early period of septicaemia,
Iclent free haemoglobin may be produced to cause
moglobinuria as a result of extensive intravascular haemolysis.
Ives up to the age of one month are most susceptible. In
pticaemia there is high rise of fever up to 107°F, dullness, in-
etence, rapid loss of strength and emaciation. Jaundice is
dently seen in the eyes and the gums. In severe cases death
inevitable.

Treatment: Acute cases must be treated preferably by

•.!Mitomycin or tetracycline. Homoeopathy works good as a
supporting and complementary remedy.

1. A c o n i t u m 12: In early stage, when the rectal

mperature is high. A dose every half hour (total five doses)
Is usually sufficient.

2. Crotalus horridus 1 M : It has direct effect on haemolytic

(bundice.

Dose: One every two hours, in all five doses, as early

as possible.

3. Berberis vulgaris 3 0 : It has specific action on the

function of the liver.

Dose: One dose three times daily for five days.

4. P h o s p h o r u s 1 M : This drug is useful in acute cases

and helps to prevent damage to liver cells.

Dose: A dose twice daily for one week.

5. L y c o p o d i u m 1 M : Restores liver function and aids

digestion. This can be used in convalescing patients also.

Dose: One dose per day for one week.

68 VETERINARY HOMOEOPATHY

VIRAL DISEASES
VIRAL PNEUMONIA, ENZOOTIC PNEUMONIA

This is an infectious disease, primarily of housed calves,

characterized by viral pneumonia with or without secondary
bacterial bronchopneumonia.

One or more viruses are responsible and the condition may

be complicated by secondary bacterial invasion. Presence of
factors like inadequate ventilation and filthy housing predispose
calf to the infection. It commonly affects calves 2 to 5 months
of age. In some cases it may also affect calves from the first
week of life up to age 8 to 12 months. The disease is more
common during winter months. Morbidity and mortality depend
on housing conditions and management,

Symptoms: High fever (104°F to 107°F) and difficult

breathing with short dry hacking cough. Calf breathes through
mouth and rasping sounds are heard on auscultation. Nasal and
oral discharges may be present, first watery, later on purulent
or blood-stained. Acute cases may show no discharge. In chronic
cases emphysema and lung abscess may develop and calf
remains unthrifty with stunted growth.

Treatment:

Antibiotics may be given to control secondary invasion.

Patient should be kept in well ventilated house. Overcrowding,
exposure to inclement weather should be avoided. Suitable
bedding should be provided to absorb moisture from faeces and
urine.

 MUCOSAL DISEASE

BOVINE VIRAL DIARRHOEA

It is an infectious disease caused by a virus, which is

manifested clinically by an acute erosive stomatitis, gastroenteritis
and diarrhoea. The causative virus is classified as Pestivirus. The
disease resembles rinderpest. Malignant catarrh and other viral
diarrhoeal diseases cause erosive lesions of oral cavity and
gastrointestinal tract. It is an acute disease and is commonly
observed in young cattle aged from about 8 months to 2 years.

S y m p t o m s : The disease is characterized by fever and

profuse nasal discharge. The discharge turn bright pink and ulcer
develop on muzzle inside the lips and on hard palate. These
lesions lead to profuse salivation. Onset of diarrhoea in
conjunction with salivation results in severe dehydration. Animals
in later stages show rapid breathing and coughing. Buccal
mucosa is turned bright red due to congestion.

Treatment:

1. A c o n i t u m 3 0 : Four doses half hourly in the initial stage.

2. A c d nitricum 200: Ulceration around mouth and nose

PROTOZOAL DISEASES
I. C O C C I D I O S I S
Coccidiosis is a contagious disease entity caused by
infection with Eimeria species protozoan parasites. The disease
occurs in all domestic animals. Major symptoms of the disease
are diarrhoea and dysentery. In chronic form of the disease, the
animals show inferior growth rate. In calves, dysentery is
characterized by passage of whole blood in the faeces. E. zuernii
and E. bovis species of the parasite are the causative protozoa.
Infective protozoa is liberated in intestine which penetrates the
epithelium causing irritation and bleeding resulting in diarrhoea
and dysentery. Incubation period of this protozoa is one to three
weeks. Dysenteric stools are frequently foul-smelling and
accompanied by great straining. There is weakness, palor of
the visible mucous membrane, anorexia and loss of strength. In
allopathy, sulphonamides or nitrofurazone is used. In acute cases
these drugs may be used along with homoeopathic drugs for
better and quicker relief. Combined therapy would greatly reduce
mortality.

Treatment:

1. A c o n i t u m napellus 3 0 : This drug is used in early

feverish stage.

Dose: One dose every half hour for four doses.

2. A r s e n i c u m a l b u m 1 M : This drug has proved valuable

in acute dysenteric stage as well as in milder cases showing
the signs of loss of condition, dry coat, unthrifty appearance.

Dose: One dose every two hours, in all 5 doses in acute

form, and one dose per day for a week in chronic form.

3. Mercurius corrosivus 2 0 0 or 1 M : It is useful in

reduced due to the loss of blood.
 Dose: One 3 times daily for 3 days.

6. V e r a t r u m a l b u m 30: This drug is beneficial in chronic

and milder cases of persistent diarrhoea with weakness and
collapse.

Dose: One dose three times daily for two days.

7. Sycotic co 6: It is a bowel nosode which aids the action

of the above remedies. Its main action is on mucous membrane
of the intestine.

Dose: One dose daily for three days.

II. P A R A S I T I C B R O N C H I T I S O R H U S K O R H O O S E

The disease is recorded in young stock but adult animals

are also equally susceptible. Both acute and chronic forms of
the disease are encountered. The disease commonly occurs in
summer and early autumn. A nematode, Dictyocaulus viviparus,
is the causative agent. The infective larvae are swallowed while
grazing.

S y m p t o m s : Groups of animals are affected at each point

of time by the acute form of the disease. Husky cough with
protrusion of the tongue and accumulation of froth around the
mouth are the common symptoms. Respiratory distress, laboured
breathing on exertion and crepitation sounds heard on
auscultation of the lungs are other symptoms. In chronic form,
pulmonary emphysema is the chief symptom, other symptoms
are loss of condition, dry coat and pale mucous membrane.

Treatment:

The disease is amenable to modern anthelimintics.

Homoeopathic remedies will hasten repair of the damaged lung
tissues.
 1. A n t i m o n i u m tartaricum 2 0 0 : Froth around the mouth,
moist cough and rattling sounds in chest. The drug is specially
useful when the cough is worse at night.

later prevents this disease in all animals. The nosode is prepared
I hsi-ASEs OF CALVES 75

imm suspension of contaminated material containing Dictyocaulus

viviparus.

When symptoms are aggravated by cold and relieved by

warmth, worse while lying down and better in standing position,
this homoeopathic drug is useful.

D o s e : One dose three daily for five days.

DISEASES CAUSED BY MINERAL DEFICIENCY

BF •
In animal body about 30 to 40 mineral elements are
present. All of these are not essential for the body metabolism.
Hence, they are grouped as essential, which are about 16 in
number, and non-essential as they are required in traces, for
example, selenium, fluorine, etc. Major elements are calcium,
phosphorus, potassium, sodium, iron, copper, manganese,
magnesium, etc. The imbalance of minerals cause different
diseases which are described below.
I. C a l c i u m , p h o s p h o r u s , v i t a m i n deficiency

Inadequate calcium and phosphorus in feed is commonly

seen in conjunction with vitamin D deficiency. Calves consuming
inadequate milk suffer from this deficiency. Factors causing
disturbance in calcium and phosphorus metabolism can also
cause deficiency symptoms of both minerals. The metabolism of
calcium is inter-related to phosphorus and vitamin D which
promotes the absorption of calcium by enhancing the active
transport of calcium across the ileum. In India vitamin D
deficiency has no special significance because the animals graze
in bright sunlight. Common symptoms observed in calves are
rickets and osteomalacia; deformity of the joints, especially of
the knees which become stiff and weak. The bones of such
limbs are prone to fracture even after mild accidents. Abnormal
craving, such as chewing of wood, bones, rags etc., which is
also termed as "pica", is the characteristic clinical sign. In this
disease the growth of calves is stunted.

Treatment: The carbonates and phosphates of calcium are

the remedies of choice.

1. C a l c a r e a carbonica 3 0 : This remedy is suitable for

calves which are heavy, fleshy, and fed well but lack assimilation.

Dose: One dose twice daily for two weeks.

2. C a l c a r e a p h o s p h o r i c a 30: It contains calcium and

phosphorus hence is a more suitable remedy.

Dose: One dose three times daily for one week.

II. C o p p e r deficiency
Copper deficiency is generally recorded in calves over two
months of age. The disease causes scouring, interference with
tissue oxidation, anaemia and delirium. It may be primary when
the intake is inadequate and secondary when the copper level
in feeds is sufficient but its utilization is impaired. Forage grown
on copper deficient soil may cause deficiency in the fodder.
Young calves are more susceptible to the primary deficiency.
Calves suffering from copper deficiency are stunted and
frequently develop intercurrent infections. Calves develop
unthriftiness followed by discolouration of hair around the eyes
giving a spectacled appearance. Red coated calves become
yellowish or rust coloured. Copper deficiency is commonly found
in lime-free and marginal lands.

Treatment:
1. C u p r u m a c e t i c u m 6: Useful in scouring and trembling
calves whose abdomen is tympanic prior to evacuation and stools
are dark with blood-stained mucus.
 Dose: One every two hours for four doses, then twice daily
loi three days.

2. C u p r u m a r s e n i c o s u m 3 0 : This drug is beneficial in

less acute scouring showing slimy diarrhoea and increased thirst.

Dose: One dose three times daily for 3 days.

3. C u p r u m metallicum 3 0 : This drug is excellent in

levere cases of the deficiency.

Dose: One dose three times daily for eight days.

III. M a g n e s i u m deficiency
It is an essential component of the bone. It controls the
irritability of neuromuscular system. It may be associated with
a very high milk intake, as the amount of magnesium excreted
in the milk may vary from cow to cow. It is unusual to encounter
this disease in calves under two months of age.

S y m p t o m s : Calves get unduly excited with retraction of

the head and restless movement. The feet are lifted high in an
exaggerated motion producing a spastic form of movement. All
reflexes, e.g., tendon reflexes, are pronounced. Convulsions with
muscle tetany, quickening of the heart's action and laboured
respiration are also commonly encountered symptoms in
magnesium deficient animals.

Treatment:

Injection of magnesium sulphate cures the disease

completely. Following homoeopathic remedies prevent its relapse
and minimize the damage to central nervous system.
1 . B e l l a d o n n a 1 M : This medicine controls convulsions
and prevents brain damage. The drug is specially useful when
pupils are dilated and pulse full and bounding.
 D o s e : One dose every half an hour for four doses.

2. S t r a m o n i u m 200: This drug is useful in the calves

which have tendency to fall forward, tetanus of isolated group
of muscles and twitching of tendon.

D o s e : One dose every hour for four doses.

3. M a g n e s i a phosphorica 3 0 : This drug can be used in

addition to Calcarea phos which would hasten cure by stabilizing
the elements in the system.

D o s e : One dose twice daily for three days.

4. Cicuta virosa 30: This drug can be administered for

retraction of the head and spasmodic neck symptoms.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for three days.

GENERAL BLOAT (TYMPANY)

Calves which are fed on whole milk substitute for long

period suffer from bloat. Due to gas formation in rumen the left
lateral abdomen of the animal is distended. Both acute and
chronic cases are observed. In acute cases distress and loss
of appetite are common symptoms.

Treatment:

1 . C o m b i n a t i o n : In chronic cases or acute cases, Nux

vomica 30 + Mag phos 30 + Carbo vegetabilis 30 combinedly
gives quick and good results.
D o s e : 5 drops or globules 3-4 times for three days.
2. C o l c h i c u m 3 0 : It is effective in acute cases.
D o s e : One dose every fifteen minutes four times.
I >ISI ASES OF CALVES 79

3. N u x v o m i c a 3 0 : Indigestion from excess consumption

of food.

Dose: One dose every half an hour for four times.

4. L y c o p o d i u m 3 0 : Chronic cases due to poor quality of

(ceding regime.

Dose: One dose twice daily for one week.

5. Baryta carbonica 3 0 : Flatulence, abdomen seems

ense.

Dose: One dose every half an hour, in all five doses.

6. C a r b o vegetabilis 30: Gas formation immediately after

Dose: One dose every half hour for five days.

CHAPTER - 7

DISEASES OF EYE AND EAR

OPHTHALMIA

It is the inflammation of conjunctiva, and the delicate

membrane which lines the interior of the eyelids and over the
eyeball.

A e t i o l o g y : External blow from a stick or whip, sudden

entry of some irritating substances such as hay seed, sand, and
'Hidden change of temperature, like extreme cold wave, etc. are
some causative factors. Conjunctivitis may also be due to coryza,
allergic stomatitis, etc.

S y m p t o m s : Eyes become sensitive to light. Watery

discharges, glaucoma. The eyelids are often hot, swollen and
lender. The white of the eyes is covered with red streaks, the
pupil is clouded, and small blood vessels are congested over
the cornea, on which there are sometimes small superficial
ulcers.

Treatment:

If it is suspected that some foreign object has entered the

eye, then examine the affected eye first. The best way to remove
this would be with a piece of wet silk wiped lightly over the eye,
and drop arnica lotion into the eye. This lotion may be prepared
by mixing one part of arnica tincture with twenty parts of water.
The affected eyes may be bathed frequently with the solution.
Arnica tincture ten drops may also be given twice a day orally.

1. A c o n i t u m 12: If excessive cold is the cause of the

affection and the eye$ are inflamed, six drops of Aconitum four
times a day may be administered until the inflammation subsides.

2. Belladonna 3 0 : When the inflammation has diminished

after Aconitum and when the tears are very copious and scalding,
the eyelids are swollen and eyes are very sensitive to light, this
drug may be alternated with Aconitum four times daily.

3. Euphrasia 3 0 : If the preceding remedies were not

sufficient to remove all the symptoms and if the profuse watery
discharge from the eyes and nostrils and photophobia is
persistent, this drug may be useful.

hot and corrosive, this medicine is effective.

Dose: One dose twice daily for 7 to 10 days.

7. Sulphur 3 0 : It is necessary in some old cases, and

to prevent the relapse of the disease.
PERIODICAL OPHTHALMIA

It is more serious than ophthalmia because if not treated

properly this ends in formation of cataract. Generally young
horses from 3 to 6 years of age are more susceptible to this
disease. Initially it attacks one eye and if untreated both the eyes
may be affected.

S y m p t o m s : Swelling of the eyelids, abuncjant lacrimation

d smearing of the eyeball with a thick, coloured film are the
early signs. In some cases, upper and middle part of the eye
turns dull blue, streaked with red. The lower part looks green,
01 a mixture of green and yellow. After two or three attacks, the
r y e appears to lose its round or globe-like form and gets smaller
nd pointed.

Treatment:

1. E u p h r a s i a 3 0 : It is an excellent remedy for this disease.

Dose: One dose of six drops every day for 8 to 10 days.

2. C a l c a r e a c a r b o n i c a 3 0 : If pupils are dilated, and

sensibility to light is enhanced, this drug may be useful. Although
Hie eye looks clear and bright, sight may be impaired. In such
pases too this drug is effective.

Dose: Six drops or 6 globules twice daily.

3. C a n n a b i s 3 0 : Dimness of the cornea, white specks,

contraction of pupils, red streaks on the surface of the eye.

Dose: Six drops or 6 globules twice daily.

4. B i o c h e m i c c o m b i n a t i o n : In inflammation of the eye

mixture of CP 3x, FP 12x, KM 3x, KP 3x, MP 3x, NM 3x NP

the eyes twice daily.
 5. C o m b i n a t i o n : Aconitum 30 + Fer phos 30 + NM 30
+ KM 30 + NS 30.

D o s e : 5 tabs of 3 gm each three times daily has cured

many cases.

CONJUNCTIVITIS

It is the inflammation of conjunctiva which is the membrane

lining the inner side of the eyelids and the external surface of
the eyeball (the cornea).

I. A c u t e conjunctivitis: The inflammation is often

accompanied by a discharge, which may be clear, then become
thick and yellow or white in colour.

Treatment:

1 . Euphrasia: Very effective when discharge is clear.

Drops or proprietary ointments are available from homoeopathic
chemists. This remedy is also used orally when tears are profuse
and inner side is injected too much.

2. A p i s mel 30: In sudden acute attacks when eyelids

are swollen this remedy gives good results.

Dose: A dose two hourly, four to five doses.

hourly for a few days.

4. Sulphur 30: When there is redness of the lids but

not much production of tears.

D o s e : A dose three times daily for two or three days.

Chronic conjunctivitis

Conjunctivitis that persists or recur.

may be repeated again as per necessity.

2. Silica 3 0 : Three times daily for up to a week in cases

here conjunctivitis persists after an injury to the eye or from
foreign body irritating the surface of the eye.

3. H e p a r s u l p h 6: Hepar is very important for

conjunctivitis, especially in cases that do not yield to other
remedies.

CORNEAL ULCER
Eyelids helps to prevent injury to the cornea or front surface
of the eye. In spite of this safeguard the eye may become
damaged by a scratch or other injury which cause irritation and
infection resulting in corneal ulcer. In this condition the outer
membrane of the cornea is lost in one area as a result of
infection. Inflammation or damage to more layers may be
possible and eventually rupture will follow.

Treatment:

1 . S y m p h y t u m 3 0 : For any painful blow on the eyeball

causing bruise or damage to the cornea.

D o s e : A dose of 5 globules three times daily. Diluted

tincture of Symphytum may be used to bathe the eye.

7. Silicea 3 0 : When cornea has opaque scar. Longterm

treatment is necessary.

Dose: 5 globules twice daily for 15 days.

OPACITY
Opacity of eye may affect the whole lens or its capsule
or both together or only a part of either of these structures. It
is caused by inflammation or by wound or blow. The opacity
then comes on very quickly.
Treatment:

1 . Calcarea fluor 3 x : Useful in opacity with cataract.

Dose: 4 tabs twice daily.
 2. A r g e n t u m nit 3 0 : Opacity with purulent conjunctivitis.

Dose: 5 globules two times daily for 15 daiys.

3. E u p h r a s i a 3 0 : Watering all the time, accompanied with

conjunctivitis and blueing.

Dose: 5 globules three times daily.

4. Cineraria: Eye lotion is very useful, especially after

injury (longterm treatment).

5. Silicea: Removes scars after ulceration, injury, surgery

etc. (longterm treatment).

DISEASES OF THE EAR

OTITIS: It is the inflammation of ear. It is known by the

animal shaking his head and bending it on one side. A discharge,
at first serous and scanty, afterward purulent and copious, flows
from the ear.

When the discharge continues the disease called "internal

canker" is established. This is in point and fact otorrhoea,
symptomatic of chronic inflammation of the parts lining the
external passage of the ear.

Treatment:

1. A c o n i t e 3 0 : In early stage of inflammation.

2. B e l l a d o n n a 3 0 : If ear is red, hot and swollen. Many

Psorinum, Pulsatilla, and Sulphur.

3. Kali b i c h : When the discharge from the ear is sticky.

 4. Hepar s u l p h : Abscess in the ear. Perforation in the
ear is also cured by this remedy.

5. Pulsatilla: The discharge is bland and is of yellowish

or greenish colour.

6. Graphites: Discharge glutinous, fetid and sticky, honey

coloured. Blistering where the discharge touches the skin.

7. Silicea: Discharge offensive due to caries of bones.

8. Mercurius: Suppuration of middle ear and acrid

discharge.

DISEASES OF THE SKIN

I RINGWORM

A skin disease in which itchy pimples appear in rings.

Ringworm is caused by an invasion of the keratinised

epithelial cells and hair fibres by dermatophytes. The causative
agents are fungi which grow on the hair or skin or both. This
Is a superficial fungal disease of the skin and is more common
in (he younger group. It occurs in all animals, but more common
in animals housed in close proximity to one another for long
periods. Direct contact with infected animals is the commonest
cause of spread of ringworm. Licking the part undoubtedly aids
spread of the fungus.

S y m p t o m s : Lesions are roughly circular and about 3 cm

in diameter. In early stage the surface below the crust is moist.
In older lesions the scab becomes detached and alopecia may
be follow. The typical lesion is a heavy, gray-white crust raised
above the skin. Lesions are most commonly found on the neck,
Ihe head, and the perineum. In some cases the lesions may be
iriributed over the entire body. Itching is considerable.
Treatment:

1. Bacillinum 2 0 0 : This nosode is the most effective

remedy.

D o s e : One per month.

2. Kali a r s e n i c u m 200: It is given after Bacillinum which

restores the skin to normal.

D o s e : One dose daily for seven days.

3. Tellurium 3 0 : This remedy will also prove useful in

restoring hair over affected area. Indicated in circular lesions,
more around the ears.

D o s e : One dose daily for seven days.

4. Natrum s u l p h 200: One dose twice every week for

3 or 4 weeks.

Apply hot mustard oil to the ringworm 3 or 4 times daily,

especially before bath.

II M A N G E

Mange is caused by mites which live in the surface of the

skin of the animal and cause intense irritation and itching.

Mange is also called as scabies or itch. Mange can be

classified in three types, depending on the causative factor : 1)
Psoroptic 2) Sarcoptic and 3) Chorioptic. This disease affects
all kinds of domestic animals, e.g., sheep, goat, horses, cattle,
buffalo, and dogs.

1 . Psoroptic: This is highly contagious and confined to

cattle and sheep. Its spread may be directly by contact or through
the medium of contaminated bedding etc. Lesions of psoroptic
 mange usually begin on the shoulders and dorsal area of the
nock. A bite of mites produces intense itching with localised
Inflammation. Lesions become papular and ooze serum. This
exudation mats the hair and produce scab in due course, Each
icab tending to enlarge and coalesce with others. The causative
miles usually are confined to the skin surface.

2. Sarcoptic: Sarcoptic mange occurs in all species

causing a severe itching dermatitis. The causative mites are
Karcoptes species of parasites. This parasitic disease is of
1
/onotic importance in which the disease may also be transmitted
I to human. The disease is commonly referred to as scabies.
Animals in poor condition appear to be most susceptible. Other
I (actors, such as, overcrowding, poor feeding and general
I mismanagement are also equally responsible to expose the
.mimals to this disease. Scabies is most active in cold wet
weather and spreads slowly during the summer months.

I Itching is severe. Rubbing the skin leads to bare patches

and in prolonged or neglected cases, to thickening of the skin
which becomes wrinkled into folds.

3. Chorioptic: It is the commonest form of mange in cattle

I and horse. It is also called symbiotic or tail mange. Lesions
remain small and are confined to tail and the legs. Itching is
picsent but is not severe.

Treatment:

1. Sulphur 3 0 : The most efficient of all remedies in this

complaint is sulphur, which must be used both locally and
internally. Sulphur ointment may be made in proportion of 1 part
of sulphur plus two parts vaseline, mixed thoroughly, and applied
by means of a clean, large-size painter's brush twice a day.
Three such dressings will generally suffice to effect a cure.
Sulphur may also be given orally.
 Dose: One dose daily for seven days, may be repeated
if there is definite improvement.

2. Sulphur 3 0 + Arsenic 3 0 : In two grain doses Sulphur

in morning and Arsenic in evening for 7 days.

3. P s o r i n u m 3 0 : It helps to control severe itch and is

preferable for animals having dry skin. It has deep-seated and
lasting action.

Dose: One dose daily for seven days.

4. Kali ars 2 0 0 : This remedy is useful when the skin

is thickened due to formation of wrinkles and abundant scurf.

D o s e : One dose daily for ten days.

To provent the spread of disease, isolate the affected

animal.

In case of sheeps and dogs it is necessary to shear them

before application of ointment.

Ill W A R T S (Papillomatosis)

Warts are also called as papilloma. In cattle warts occur

on almost any part of the body. Warts are quite common in young
cattle. The disease is caused by a host specific Papova group
of viruses. Cutaneous warts are commonly encountered in cattle,
goat and horse. The method of spread is probably by direct
contact with the infected animals, infection gaining entry through
cutaneous abrasions. Incubation period in cattle is more than
eight weeks. Warts are solid outgrowths of epidermis and may
be sessile, flattened or pedunculated. Pedicle in young animals
occur most commonly on the head and around the eyes, on the
neck and may spread on other parts of the body. They appear
as dry rough mass resembling the surface of a cauliflower. In
 ISBASES OF THE SKIN 93

ws, teat involvement is frequent. The warts have pinkish linings

nd the pedunculated variety tends to bleed easily.

Treatment:

The homoeopathic treatment takes some time to exert its

Kfect. It may be two or three months after the cessation of
edication that the results can be observed.

1. T h u j a occidentalis 3 0 or 2 0 0 : This is the most

mportant remedy for pedunculated warts, which bleed easily.

Dose: One dose daily for fourteen days. Thuja ointment

ay also be applied externally.

2. C a u s t i c u m 3 0 : It is a very good remedy for sessile

arts whether present single or in clusters. Warts ulcerated and
which bleed easily are cured by this remedy.

Dose: One dose twice daily for two weeks.

3. Calcarea carbonica 3 0 : A useful remedy for the small

numerous flat warts which develop on the teats of heifers and
cows.

Dose: One dose twice weekly for one month.

4. D u l c a m a r a 200: This drug may be used for treating

large flat warts which develop mainly on the head and the limbs.

Dose: One dose daily for seven days.

5. A c i d u m nitricum 2 0 0 : This medicine is indicated when

warts are large and sharp-edged which may tend to bleed easily.

Dose: One dose daily for seven days.

6. S a b i n a 3 0 : This drug is used scarcely although it is

an effective remedy. The drug is useful in warts present in the
genital areas.
 Dose: Twice daily for fourteen days.

7. Arsenic 30: If small ulcers form around the bottom

of the warts, this drug is indicated.

Dose: 6 or 10 drops in the night and morning. Anointment

may also be applied externally. 3 grains of the third trituration
in an ounce of water, and the parts are to be painted with it
twice a day.

DISEASES OF THE
DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

Digestive system is one of the important systems of the

dy. Disturbances in digestion may cause many diseases and
ect the productivity of the animal greatly. Domestic ruminants
ve complex stomach and their digestive physiology is also
ifferent, the digestion is mostly fermentative. Although a number
of diseases of digestive system have been reported in veterinary
literature, only those which are relatively common in occurrence
are described here.

INDIGESTION

Main symptoms of indigestion are anorexia, dullness,

constipation, diarrhoea, which may sometimes lead to inflamma-
tion of the gastrointestinal tract. In severe form of the disease,
emaciation leading to sticking of the skin close to the ribs, and
loss of appetite are the common sequelae. Indigestion is caused
due to change in diet or overeating.

Treatment:

1 . A n t i m o n i u m c r u d u m : When there is complete loss

of appetite, rough coat, and watery diarrhoea.
 Dose: Six drops or five globules twice a day.

2. I p e c a c u a n h a : Aversion to food, vomition with mucous

discharge, or when the faeces are fetid and putrid.

3. N u x v o m i c a : Symptoms are due to cold, accompanied

by constipation and animal stands without changing position.

Dose: Six drops or 5 globules twice daily.

4. A r s e n i c u m : When indigestion is long-standing and

skin becomes hard, with or without diarrhoea. The drug is
generally useful when the stool is watery and contains blood.

Dose: As for Nux vomica.

5. C h i n a : If the animal is young and there are signs of

exhaustion, debility and loss of appetite, this medicine is helpful.

Dose: 5 globules or 5 drops three times a day.

6. Silicea: This medicine is extremely useful if the animal

shows signs of sweating after a little exertion.

Dose: As for China.

7. S u l p h u r 3 0 : May be given as intercurrent remedy.

A C U T E INDIGESTION

It is an acute disturbance of the digestive function.

Overeating is the main cause which may be related to normal
feed or eating excess palatable food, such as grain or cake.
Damaged feeds, consumption of early fermenting silage, may
produce signs of indigestion. Unthrifty animals suffering from
mineral deficiencies may eat indigestible feed which may result
in indigestion. If young calves which are pre-ruminant
 i ASES OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM 97

idontally consume poor hay or silage they may suffer from

te indigestion.

Acute indigestion may be accompanied by tympany,

ices may be hard or watery depending upon the food material
nsumed. If the rumenal movements are reduced, the dung
usually dry; or diarrhoea when the motility is increased,
uminal impaction produces doughy feel with restricted stomach
motility. Severe overloading of rumen may lead to toxaemia, if
Ihe treatment is not started early. Recumbency, sluggish reflexes
ind subnormal temperature are usual signs in terminal stages.

Treatment:

1. N u x v o m i c a 3 0 : This drug is useful if the symptoms

re due to consumption of indigestible fodder and constipation
Is present.

Dose: 5 globules or 5 drops every two hours for three

doses.

2. C o l c h i c u m 3 0 : If symptoms are due to too much green

food and accompanied by rumenal tympany, this remedy is
helpful.

Dose: 5 drops or 5 globules every two hours for four

doses.

3. C a r b o vegetabilis 30: When the animal exhibits

toxaemic and comatose symptoms.

Dose: 5 drops every hour up to 4 doses.

4. A b i e s c a n a d e n s i s 3 0 : When the symptoms are due

to overeating and abdominal flatulence, this homoeopathic
medicine can be used.

D o s e : 5 drops or 5 globules four times for 24 hours.

 I have successfully treated a number of cases of
indigestion using combination of Nux vomica 30, Mag phos 30,
Carbo veg 30 and Pulsatilla 30 which were showing acute
constipation as the main symptom. Some of these cases later
on showed loose motions, distension of belly and dehydration.

Dose: 5 drops or 5 globules 3-4 times in 24 hours.

BLOAT

Acute tympany of the rumen, it is characterized by

production of rumen gases faster than the rate of elimination,
ting too much grass or large amount of grains or reduced intake
of roughage result in bloat which leads to disturbed rumen
function.

Rumen is fully enlarged over the left lumbar fossa, which

makes the animal distressed. Rumen subsequently becomes
hard, tense. There may be profuse frothy salivation.

Treatment:

1. A n t i m o n i u m c r u d u m 3 0 : When detected early the

disease responds very well to this remedy.

Dose: One dose every half an hour for six doses.

2. A p i s mellifica 3 0 : Excess fluid in froth.

Dose: One every half hour for 4 doses.

3. C o l c h i c u m 30: Timely detected cases of more acute

form responds well.

D o s e : One every half hour for six doses.

 DIARRHOEA

Diarrhoea is the looseness of bowel and is usually caused

mating unwholesome food, purgatory medicines, putrefied
ler, improper food, etc. In calves it may be due to intoleration
mother's milk; in sheep or lambs due to eating of newly grown
118 or damaged food etc. The end result in all these situations
the increased water content of the feed. In diarrhoea, faeces
I liquid and sometimes excreted forcefully. It may or may
i be accompanied with griping pain. Appetite is impaired or
•;t. The faeces may be offensive in chronic cases.

Iicatment:

Simple diarrhoea can be cured by removing the causative

factor, and by giving the animal dry feed.

1. A c o n i t u m 3 0 : In the primary stage, which may be

ccompanied with fever and inflammation of the bowels.

D o s e : 5 globules every two or three hours.

2. N u x v o m i c a 3 0 : This drug is indicated when the

diarrhoea is feculent and offensive with rumbling noises while
passing flatus. The drug is also useful in cases where purging
a n d constipation alternate.

D o s e : 5 globules given four times a day succeeded by

Acid phos or Merc cor.

3. A r s e n i c u m 30: Watery, slimy, greenish or brownish

diarrhoea with or without griping pains.

4. Mercurius 3 0 : This remedy can be alternated with

Arsenicum when the dung is mixed with mucus and voided
without any perceptible griping. Sometimes gives good result
if alternated with Arsenicum.
 5. C h i n a 3 0 : Indicated in chronic diarrhoea Painless
discharge, loss of appetite, debility and cachexia. The drug may
also be administered when the symptoms have subsided.
6. V e r a t r u m a l b u m 30: Discharges are altogether watery,
frequent and involuntary and the nose, mouth and ear tips are
cold.
D o s e : 6 drops or 5 globules thrice in a day, or in severe
cases at hourly intervals.
7. Bryonia 3 0 : It is indicated when diarrhoea alternates
with constipation. The animal turns his head towards the flank.
8. Pulsatilla 3 0 : It is the drug of choice in calves.
D o s e : 5 globules thrice a day.

DYSENTERY

Dysentery is the inflammation of large intestine, resulting

in loose evacuation which may contain mucus and blood. There
are fever and marked presence of pain and tenesmus at the
time of defecation. It occurs from eating damp grass, feeding
marshy food, drinking impure water, especially in hot weather
and eating food of bad quality. Dysentery may however be a
sequela of neglected diarrhoea. Specific causative agents are
coccidia, amoeba and bacteria.

Treatment:
1. Aconitum 30: Dysentery accompanied with febrile
reaction.

D o s e : Total 4-5 doses given every hour.

2. N u x v o m i c a 3 0 : Dysentery with constipation. Gives

good results with 4-5 doses. If the above condition is
accompanied by febrile stage Nux vomica can be given
nlh n lately with Aconitum till the febrile stage subsides. Nux
vomica is indicated when frequent passing of one or two small
ii ulent balls is accompanied by tenesmus and fruitless efforts
void urine and flatulence. It should not be given for more than
(he day.

3. Mercurius cor 3 0 : This is a sheet anchor in dysentery,

/hen dysentery is not relieved by early administration of
Aconitum and Nux vomica, and is marked by frequent discharge
>f mucous and blood-tinged fetid stools, this remedy is useful.
can also be administered when black coloured faeces are
Idmixed with tough strings of lymph, accompanied by tenesmus
ind frequent defecation, griping pains and flatulence.

Dose: A dose every third hour.

4. C o l o c y n t h i s 30: It is useful in all kinds of dysentery

m<\ may be used after the administration of Merc cor. It is advised
vhen with dysentery there is nausea, severe colicky pains and
•.limy evacuation. In such cases the faeces may show mucus
ind blood. The drug is also useful in distension of bowels when
percussion of the abdominal region excites pain and tenesmus.
In such cases thirst and variable rectal temperature, or red urine
may also be recorded.

Dose: One dose every third hour.

5. Hydrastis <j>: It is given when ulcers are present in

rectum and discharges are muco-purulent. Especially useful in
dysentery complicated with liver disorder.

Dose: 5 drops every 4 hours or enema with half dram

mother tincture in 4 ounce water.

6. A r s e n i c u m 3 0 : When debilitated animals suffer from

dysentery and faeces are loose, involuntary, blood-stained,
greenish, fetid and black accompanied with loss of appetite,
rumbling bowels, flatulence and marked prostration. It can also
be tried in cases showing cold skin and extremities, frequent
eructations, passing of flatus, straining and griping pains.
Arsenicum is an efficient remedy in all such cases.

D o s e : A dose every two hours.

7. Sulphur: In chronic cases it should be given in

alternation with Merc cor.

It is important that in dysentery, elimination of the causal

factor be considered first. The diet should be dry hay and
complete rest must be advised. To avoid any irritation to bowels,
large animals must be drenched with plain sweet oil 200 ml and
small sized animals with 100 ml.

8. Mixture of CP 3x + FP 12x + KM 3x + KP 3x + MP
3x + NM 3x + NS 3x cures 95% cases. This biochemic
combination has won laurels.

COLIC
Colic is commonly equine and rarely bovine. Initially the
horse begins to twist tail, strikes the ground with feet, looks at
its flanks, throws itself on the ground, rolls about, gets up again
and turn round. Due to intense pain the horse strikes at its body
with hind feet, throws itself down again. It is followed by a stretch
of quietness for some minutes and the pain soon returns. There
is profuse perspiration, and rapid breathing. If the relief is not
provided soon the animal dies perhaps in a few hours. In chronic
form, the symptoms may continue for several days. The affected
horse remains quiet for some time, occasionally striking at its
body with feet. This form is not fatal and terminates with
diarrhoea.
 MWrtment:
1. A c o n i t e 30: The drug is useful at the commencement
•Igns when the mouth is dry and the ears are either hot or
E
Dose: 5 globules or 4 drops every 15 or 30 minutes
i onling to urgency.

2. N u x v o m i c a 3 0 : Colic is due to indigestion and is

| < ompanied with constipation. Main symptoms are: walks round
then lies or falls down suddenly with bloated appearance
one or both flanks.
3. N u x v o m i c a + M a g p h o s 3 0 : I have succeeded in
uing a number of cases of colic by administration of Nux vomica
i Mag phos 30 in horses, cows and bullocks. In these animals
disease was characterized by abdominal pain, flatulence,
joased movement of the gastrointestinal tract, accompanied
constipation and distension of the abdomen.

Dose: 5 drops or 5 globules of both medicines given at

two hour intervals 5-6 times.

4. A r s e n i c u m 30: If the disease is due to bad quality food,

or drinking cold water, arsenium may be given.

D o s e : In initial stages, six drops every half, one or two

hours. After 2 or 3 doses of Aconite, Arsenicum may be given
alternately. Dr Rush obtained excellent results in many clinical
cases of colic in horses.

5. C o l c h i c u m 30: If the disease is caused by consumption

of green food and is characterized by flatulence, distension of
Hie abdomen, protrusion of the rectum and the animal strikes
at its belly with the hind feet, Colchicum will alleviate these signs.

D o s e : Six drops every one or two hours according to the

severity of the case unitill the animal improves.
 6. C a n t h a r i s 3 0 : If the colic is due to retention of urine,
characterized by inability to void more than few drops of urine,
this drug is effective.

Dose: 5 drops of the drug administered every four hours.

7. Mixture of CF 3x, CP 3x, CS 3x, FP 3x, KP 3x, NM

3x, NP 3x, NS 3x gives good results.

ENTERITIS

Enteritis is an acute inflammation of intestinal tract. It may

follow acute indigestion or may be secondary to some
septicaemic states, eg., mastitis, metritis, etc.

S y m p t o m s : The disease is characterized by painful

diarrhoea, anorexia, shreds of mucus along with blood in stools
and accompanied by straining. The attack begins suddenly and
progresses generally in stages. In colic, the pain is not constant
but in enteritis pain never ceases for a moment and becomes
gradually worse as the disease progresses. In colic, the pain
is relieved by rubbing the belly and moving about, but in enteritis
it is greatly increased with movement. In colic, the strength of
the animal is not weakened until the disease is near term, but
in enteritis weakness from beginning is very marked.

Aetiology: Improper food, sudden change in food from

poor to rich, presence of large number of worms in the intestine,
injuries on the abdomen are some important causal factors.
Badly managed colic of long duration also terminate in enteritis.

Treatment:

1. A c o n i t u m 3 0 : This drug should be given.at early stage.

This will combat shock and calm the patient.
 D o s e : A dose every 25 minutes 4-5 times. If improvement
Hows, its use should continue till the animal is well.

2. A r s e n i c u m alb 1 M : The animal exhibits intense

ullcring. Impalpable pulse and cold mouth, indicating that the
mmal is going into vascular shock.

D o s e : A dose every half an hour several times or

innately every half an hour with Aconitum.

3. M e r c u r i u s corrosivus 2 0 0 : The drug is useful in

mucous faeces having slimy consistency. Symptoms are worse
during night.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for three days.

4. C o l o c y n t h i s 30: Symptoms of abdominal pain are

rominent. The animal lies down and rises frequently. Blood may
e present in stool.

D o s e : A dose every half hour for 4 doses.

5. C r o t o n tiglium 30: The remedy is efficient when the

iools are watery and forcibly expelled.

D o s e : One dose every hour for total 5 doses.

6. N u x v o m i c a 3 0 : The drug is useful in restricted

movements of bowel or when defecation is difficult, and
micturition is scanty.

D o s e : Every thirty minutes for several times, less often

when the symptoms are relieved.

Hot water is a valuable adjutant in the treatment of this

disease, with which the animal may be drenched as often as
possible.
 ANOREXIA

Anorexia is the loss of appetite. This is a symptom of

a disease and generally disappears when the primary disease
is cured. It may be partial or complete. Also there may be only
disliking to a particular kind of food. Overloading the stomach
can result in loss of appetite for several days. Careful examination
of the mouth and the teeth should be carried out for injuries,
ulcers, inflammation, etc. It is probable that this complaint may
have arisen from impaired digestion.

Treatment:

1. A r s e n i c u m 3 0 : Loss of appetite due to bad quality of

food. The animal is weak and dull.

Dose: 5 globules or drops twice daily.

2. Nux v o m i c a 3 0 : Anorexia due to impairment of digestive

functions characterized by hard and dry dung.

4. Antim c r u d : Loss of appetite, utter dislike for food,

alternate constipation and diarrhoea, flatulence and pain in the
stomach.

Dose: 5 globules twice daily.

Examine the hay and fodder for quality and mould, or dust.
It is always beneficial to change the diet of the animal; this alone
may effect necessary improvement. Provision for plenty of water
in the sheds should be made.
 HEPATITIS

Hepatitis is inflammation of the liver. Ruminants are more

koly to get this disease than other animals.

S y m p t o m s : Symptoms vary according to the stage and

•verity of the disease. Tenderness on the right side of the
Ddornen, diminished milk yield and anorexia are the common
imical signs. Animal turns its head to right side with painful
Dxpression of countenance, the eyes suffused with tears and
jlse accelerated. The extremities are alternately hot ana cold,
ie muzzle hot and dry. There may be icterus particularly round
ie eyes and inside the ears. Constipation is a more general
• l u r e while urine colour is yellow or dark brown. In cows, the
lilk is discoloured yellow and is somewhat bitter. The
jmperature of the skin is raised and other symptoms indicative
fever are generally present.

diarrhoea

D o s e : 5 globules four times a day.

 4. A r s e n i c u m 3x: The drug is indicated in animals which
exhibit, in addition to the above symptoms, loss of appetite,
scanty urine, and marked prostration.

Dose: Two grains of the trituration every three hours.

hurried breathing, yellow coloured tongue and frequent recum
bency with difficult movements.

Dose: 5 drops or globules night and morning.

6. Nux v o m i c a 3 0 : The disease has existed for some

time. Great tenderness at the site of liver on pressing.

Dose: Ten drops every morning and night.

7. Sulphur 3 0 : May be given after any of the above

medicines, especially if it has failed or has been partially
successful.

Dose: 5 globules morning and evening.

damaged liver parenchyma. It may arise as a sequela to
ulceration of upper digestive tract or any septic condition
metastasising to the liver.

S y m p t o m s : Liver may be enlarged, it can be palpable

posterior to the last rib.
 M ASES OF THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM 109

 PAROTITIS

Parotitis is inflammation of any of the salivary glands, e.g.,

submaxillary and sub-lingual, occuring sporadically due to usually
localization of blood-borne infection actinobacillosis. In most
cases only one gland is involved. When parotid gland is involved
the region surrounding the gland becomes firm and swelling may
extend to the entire throat area This interferes with swallowing
and respiration, oedema of submaxillary space occurs.

 WORMS

Several species of worms inhabit the intestine of domestic

animals. Unless present in large quantities, they are not so
mful as is generally believed. Chief types of worms are:

1) R o u n d w o r m : A long white parasite, resembling the

ommon earthworm, from six to twelve inches long, which
nhabits the small intestines.

2) L o n g t h r e a d w o r m : A slender parasite measuring 5-

inches in length inhabiting the large intestine.

3) M a w - w o r m : A small lively parasite like a needle, found

n great numbers in the large intestine and rectum. It is about
half an inch long.

4) T a p e w o r m : Found in large and small intestine. It is

white and tape-like in shape and divided into regular articulations.

S y m p t o m s : Capricious appetite, usually voracious. They

cause starring coat, hide bound and tucked up flanks;
appearance of animal is impoverished, skin loses its natural
gloss, becomes dry, attended by itching, causing the animal to
rub its tail or whisk it from side to side. The animal licks the
wall and eats earth or dirt. Dung is often covered with mucus.
Colicky pains are sometimes present. At times worms exit from
bowels.

Treatment:

1 . C h i n a : If the animal has a voracious appetite at one

time and poor appetite at another, bowels bound or purged, fetid
breath, expelling of worms, violent itching of the part causing the
animal constantly to rub it.

D o s e : Six drops or 8 globules night and morning one hour

before feeding for 7 days.

4. A r s e n i c u m 3 0 : If above medicines fail to do good or

do partial benefit.

Dose: Give 2 grains twice daily.

5. Filix m a s <)>: Effective for tapeworms.

Dose: Six drops thrice a day.

Care must be taken to improve digestion to prevent their

growth.

RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

COUGH
Many diseases in which respiratory organs are involved
ire accompanied by cough, e.g., inflammation of throat, chest;
broken wind, nasal fleet, bronchitis, laryngitis, pleurisy, pneumo-
nia, etc.

Aetiology: Cold is a major factor causing irritation of inner

linings of air passages. Other factors responsible are foreign

 COLD - CATARRH - CORYZA

Coryza is the inflammation of nasal passages and it is

associated with infection. Catarrh even if mild should receive
prompt attention because it may prove fatal.

The primary cause may be exposure to cold or damp

weather. It may also be due to infection, drinking of cold water
in summer, or when the sweating body skin is exposed to cold
water.

S y m p t o m s : Frequent sneezing or snoring, dry husky

cough, watery mucoid discharge from eyes and the nostrils,
which may be red and swollen are the usual initial signs in this
disease. Sometimes the throat may be sore and submaxillary
glands may be swollen causing difficulty in taking food or water.
The discharge may turn mucopurulent and coughing ensues.
Body temperature may be raised initially up to 105°F. Loss of
appetite, partial or total, suspension of rumination, diminished
milk, stiffness in joints may be observed in later stages. When
treatment is initiated early the febrile symptoms disappear and
the nasal discharges become thick and copious, appetite returns
to normal and the animal recovers. Coryza may be associated
with specific diseases or may be secondary to pneumonia or
bronchitis. Catarrh is characterized by cough, nasal discharge
and sore throat, and may be attended with fever.

Treatment:

1. A c o n i t u m 3 0 : If the complaints are fever with shivering,

inflammation of the eyes, the nose, and high coloured urine.

abscess, the drug may be indicated.

1 1 . Kali b i c h r o m i c u m 30: One dose three times daily

for three days, for sticky discharges.

12. Mercurius solubilis 3 0 : When discharges arc

greenish, bloody, and the nasal bones are inflamed, the drug
is useful.

D o s e : One dose twice daily for five days.

SINUSITIS
Sinusitis is the inflammation of sinuses. The disease
usually occurs in chronic form. A suppurative inflammation may
set in after dehorning leading to progressive purulent sinusitis
which may produce necrosis of bones in severe cases. Initially
there is rise in body temperature, shaking of the head and
purulent discharge from the nose.

d pneumonia.

S y m p t o m s : Fever, throat pain, hoarseness and cough are

e most frequent signs in this disease.

BRONCHITIS
It is the inflammation of bronchial tubes. The disease is
precipitated when the animals are exposed to cold and wet air,
sudden change of weather, e.g., hot to cold atmosphere.

S y m p t o m s : The disease is manifested by thick cough, dull

appearance, and loss of appetite. In acute form, the symptoms
are loud rattling sound in bronchial tubes and heavy coughing
with discharge of thick phlegm. Early treatment may render
alleviation of symptoms, or the cough may extend to lungs
resulting in pneumonia.

Treatment:

1. A c o n i t u m 3 0 : The drug may be administered at early

stage when the animal is having fever.

D o s e : One dose every three or four hours for one day.

 2. B i o c h e m i c mixture: A mixture of FP 12x, KM 3x, KS
3x, NS 3x, and Silicea 12x is wonderfully effective. If the animal
still does not respond CS 3x may be tried.

3. Bryonia 12: The drug is useful when large bronchi

and the lungs are involved due to which breathing may be quick,
short and difficult. The animal is unwilling to move. This drug
is also useful in chronic bronchitis.

D o s e : One dose every four hours, if improvement is

observed the drug may be given less frequently till the patient
recovers. In some cases Aconite and Bryonia are given
alternately.

4. P h o s p h o r u s 3 0 : The drug is used when small bronchi

are affected and cough is loud, painful, dry and frequent, with
scanty discharge from nostrils. The drug may also be used in
alternation with Bryonia every 3 or 4 hours.

5. B e l l a d o n n a 2 0 0 : When cough is violent, due to sore

If cough lingers, Kali sulph 30 + 200 + Ipecac 6 + 30 +

iarbo veg 200 may be tried.

Dose: 3 times a day for 2 or 3 days.

PLEURO-PNEUMONIA

Its probable origin is infection which flares due to exposure

to cold or damp weather. In this disease mortality rate is high.
It affects cattle, horse etc. The incidence of recurrence of the
infection when treated with allopathy is high. On the contrary,
with homoeopathic treatment, cure is rapid, complete and lasting
in majority of the cases.

Pleuro-pneumonia is also recorded in cows who are

refractive to many antibiotics which prove fatal. In recovered
animals, exhaustion and wasting is common. There are two
forms of pleuro-pneumonia—chronic and acute. Acute form is
sudden in onset and is characterized by loss of appetite, hurried
breathing, panting with grunt and fast pulse. In later stages of
the disease extremities turn cold and animal shows short husky
cough which is worse when it moves. If treatment is not
administered promptly the disease generally ends in death in
about eight to ten days.

Treatment:

1. A c o n i t e 3 0 : The drug may be given in very early stage

when there is high fever, pulse is accelerated and breathing is
hurried.

D o s e : One dose every one to three hours, according to

urgency, up to 8 to 10 doses.

2. B r y o n i a 3 0 or P h o s p h o r u s 3 0 : The drug is indicated

once the violent symptoms have subsided. This is especially
effective if difficulty in breathing still persists. Bryonia or
Phosphorus may be given in alternation with Aconite.

Bryonia is especially preferred if cough is frequent,

accompanied with occasional severe pain in chest due to which
animal is disinclined to move. Phosphorus is preferred when the
respiratory murmur is suppressed or obscure and breathing is
obstructed. In such animals cough is short and frequent with slimy
or blood-laden phlegm.

D o s e : A dose every first, second and third hour.

3. A r s e n i c u m 3 0 : Signs of extreme debility, wheezing,

short but difficult breathing and offensive discharge from the
nostrils. It may be given in alternation with Bryonia, Phosphorus.

4. Sulphur 3 0 : When there is clinical improvement but

symptoms of bronchitis are present. This drug aids early recovery
and prevents relapses.

Pleuro-pneumonia in subacute form has short, dry, husky

cough which is worse with movement so the animal stands in
dull, sleepy attitude. In this form appetite is not impaired.
 tment:
5. A c o n i t u m 3 0 : It is indicated in febrile state and may
(jivon hourly for 6 times.

6. Bryonia alba 3 0 : One dose morning and night for one

7. A r s e n i c u m 3 0 : The drug is excellent when the animal

|hds teeth and the coat is rough. Occasionally diarrhoea may
present.

Dose: One dose twice a day.

8. Squilla 3 0 : Breathing through mouth with grunt and

lolent coughing.

The affected animals should be given complete rest and

protection from cold weather.

PNEUMONIA

Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs, clinically

characterized by impaired respiration and oxygenation of blood.

Aetiology: Exposure to cold or damp weather, fatigue

and transportation are the precipitating factors. The causal
organism may be virus, Pasteurella or Corynebacteria.

S y m p t o m s : Fever, short dry cough with scanty, tenacious,

white, frothy expectoration which later may turn rusty or streaked
with blood. The lungs are inflamed causing pain in chest while
coughing.

Treatment:
1 . A c o n i t u m 30: The drug is indicated in early stage of
the disease.
 D o s e : One dose every half or one hour four times.

2. B r y o n i a 12: The patient is disinclined to move and

exhibits harsh and loud respiration which may be heard from a
distance. The affected animal prefers to lie down.

Dose: One dose three times daily for three days.

3. A n t i m o n i u m tartaricum 2 0 0 : Moist cough and frothy

saliva.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for three days.

4. Beryllium 3 0 : The drug is useful when a slight

movement results in violent coughing.

D o s e : One dose twice daily.

5. D r o s e r a 3 0 : It is useful in calves suffering from

spasmodic cough.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for three days.

6. P h o s p h o r u s 1 M : Indicated when the sputum is rust

coloured.

D o s e : One dose every hour for four doses.

7. T u b e r c u l i n u m aviaire 200: The drug is useful in young

animals specially when upper portion of the lungs are involved.

Mixture of CP 3x, FP 3x, KM 3x, KP 3x, KS 3x, MP 3x,

NM 3x, and NS 3x every hour or two hours is reported to give
good result in all cases. In refractive cases CS 3x and S 12x
may be given hourly 5 times.

For b r o n c h o p n e u m o n i a - Bryonia 6 + 1000 + Ipecac 6

+ 30 + Ant tart 6 + 1000 + lod 3x may be given every hour
till fever subsides. The drug is continued every two hours till
 nthlessness eases. To avoid any relapse the medicine may
given 3 times a day for 2-3 days. If cough persist, Carbo
200 may be given 3 times a day for 3 days. One week
lecovery Sulphur 30 can be administered twice daily for
lays. In pneumonia a mixture of lod 3x + Phos 30 + 200 +
tenia 6 + 1000 is effective when given every 2 hours till fever
iirides, then 4 times a day for 2 days. Antibiotics are
ommended for a couple of days in severe cases.

PULMONARY EMPHYSEMA

It occurs as a sequel to pneumonia. In this disease the

tiierstitial tissue are extensively damaged leading to respiratory
jistress. Chronic dyspnea may result in pulmonary emphysema

S y m p t o m s : Severe dyspnea is manifested by mouth

xcathing, frothy saliva and pulmonary rales. Emphysema may
also be of cutaneous form. In severe cases breathing with
grunting and sunken eyes are common.

Treatment:

1. A m m o n i u m c a u s t i c u m 3 0 : Asthmatic coughing which

turns worse in warm weather.

D o s e : One three times daily.

2. A n t i m o n i u m ars 2 0 0 : Excessive dyspnoea when

animal prefers standing.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for one week.

3. B r y o n i a alb 3 0 : Patient prefers to lie down. Pressure

ameliorates the symptoms.

D o s e : One dose twice daily for 15 days.

DISEASES OF THE FEMALE

I REPRODUCTIVE TRACT, INFERTILITY

I POSTPARTUM SEPTIC METRITIS

Postpartum septic metritis is an inflammation of the uterus,

which occurs in dairy cows within few days after parturition, and
is characterized clinically by severe toxaemia and copious foul-
smelling uterine discharge with or without retention of fetal
membranes,

Aetiology:

Aetiology is multifarious. It has been assumed that failure

of normal postpartum uterine involution, retained placenta and
infection of the uterus precipitate the disease. A mixed bacterial
flora is common, e.g., E. coli, corynebacteria pyogenes,
staphylococci, streptococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, protease,
etc. Main cause in many cases is retention of placenta for more
than 24 hours following parturition. This is associated most
commonly with abortion, and old age, hormones, fetal anasarca,
uterine prolapse and fetotomy. Forceful removal of retained
placenta is also considered to be major predisposing factor to
septic metritis. In later stages, diffused necrosis and oedema of
the mucosa and wall of the uterus are the common findings.
There is marked accumulation of foul-smelling fluid in the uterus
128 VETERI NARY HOMOEOPATI IY

and the uterus enlarges. Absorption of toxins results in severe

toxaemia.

S y m p t o m s : Affected cow becomes acutely anorexic and

toxaemic within two to five days after parturition, and there is
characteristic rise in the body temperature, up to 106°F.
Respiration rate is increased, which is followed by recumbency.
Acute metritis generally involves the peritoneum, the inflamma-
tory process being felt as a mass on palpation near the
sublumbar fossa. The vagina and the vulva may be inflamed and
dark. Discharge is not always present, but if present, it usually
contains dark blood and foul smelling fluid.

Treatment:

I have successfully treated many cases by allopathy with

homoeopathy. This combined treatment shortens the time taken
for complete cure, without much damage to production and
further infertility problems. If only alopathy treatment is followed,
metritis develops agalactia and infertility. Combined treatment,
however, gives nearly 100% satisfactory result, restoring
production, health and fertility.

1. A c o n i t u m 6: This drug can be administered in the

early stages when there is fever.

Dose: One dose at half-hourly interval, in all six doses.

2. B e l l a d o n n a 1 M : Signs of septicaemia and toxaemia

predominate as evidenced by increased pulse rate, fever and
dilated pupils.

Dose: One dose every hour, in all five doses.

3. E c h i n a c e a 3 0 : When septicaemia is accompanied with

high temperature and shallow respiration, this drug is indicated.

D o s e : One dose every two hours, total four doses.

 4. S a b i n a 3 0 : When metritis is due to retention of placenta
ind discharges are blood-stained, or pure blood.

D o s e : One dose every two hours, in all four doses.

Mixture CP 3x, FP 3x and MP 3x is useful in case of

Mention of placenta.

5. S e c a l e cor 3 0 : If metritis is due to prolapse of the

Uterus, discharges are dark, blood-stained and animal has lean
appearance, this drug is highly efficient.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for four days.

6. L a c h e s i s 3 0 : If toxaemia is dominant, characterized

by bluish discolouration of visible parts, associated with swelling
of the limbs and difficulty in swallowing, this drug may be used.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for four doses.

TRICHOMONIASIS
This is a genital disease causing abortion and consequent-
ly sterility. It is caused by a protozoan, Trichomonas foetus.
Young animals are more susceptible than adults. Its spread is
by coitus. Abortion commonly occurs between 3 and 5 months
after conception. Presence of pus in the uterus is the main
symptom. Placenta is expelled alongwith foetus. Later on,
infertility and failure of conception are the common complications.
In some cases dead foetus may be retained in the uterus
resulting in pyometritis which is characterized by mucopurulent
discharge through the uterus.

Treatment:

1 . A p i s mel 3 0 : It controls the inflammation and oedema

of the uterus thereby stopping the extent of the disease.
 Dose: One dose three times daily, for 3 days.

2. C a u l o p h y l l u m 3 0 : It will help to remove the uterine

debris and is specially indicated where the uterine seal remains
intact. The drug relaxes the seal and expels the contents.

Dose: One dose three hourly, in all four doses.

3. Hydrastis 3 0 : When the uterine discharges are

mucopurulent.

Dose: One dose three times daily for four days.

4. Sepia 200: It has action on entire female reproductive

system. The drug helps in regulating the oestrous cycle.

Dose: One dose twice weekly for one to two months.

To control this disease on herd basis, nosode from culture

of T. foetus may be prepared and administered at the rate of
one dose per month for three months before artificial
insemination.

VIBRIOSIS
Vibriosis is an infectious disease of the female reproductive
tract of cattle, sheep, etc. and is clinically characterized by
abortion and infertility. Vibrio fetus is the causative organism
and is usually transmitted through coitus.

S y m p t o m s : The death and reabsorption of the fetus is

common. This causes abnormally longer oestrous cycle, may be
up to 8 weeks, leading to infertility. Abortions are commonly
found at around 5th-6th months of gestation, In majority of the
cases placenta is expelled along with the infected fetus.. Placenta
is semi-opaque, with little thickening and localised petechiae
preceded by a blood-tinged mucous discharge. Cervicitis
I hSRASES OF THE FEMALE REPRODUCTIVE TRACT 131

commonly occurs in late stage. Non-retention of placenta at the

lime of abortion is the peculiarity of this disease.

Treatment:

1. C a l c a r e a phosphorica 30: When the mucus is thin,

Clear and blood-stained, this drug may be useful.

Dose: One three times daily for two days, then on alternate
days for 3 days.

2. H y d r a s t i s 3 0 : When abortion has taken place and

secondary infection has invaded, this remedy is recommended.

Dose: One dose twice daily for one week.

3. S a b i n a 30: It controls postpartum blood-stained

discharges.

Dose: One dose three times daily for four days.

4. S e c a l e cor 3 0 : When the discharges contain dark blood.

Dose: One dose twice daily for one week.

VAGINITIS

A. V E S I C U L A R V A G I N I T I S :

This is a condition in which vesicles are formed on the

mucous membrane of the vulva and the vagina. The infection
spreads by coitus. The causative agent has recently been shown
as a virus.

S y m p t o m s : Due to inflammation of the mucous membrane

of the vulva and the vagina the symptoms like straining, increased
frequency of urination, stamping of feet and switching of the tail
are seen. Soiling of the tail and vulval region due to whitish
vaginal discharge is distinctly evident. The vulva seems to be
indurated due to vesicles covering vaginal mucous membrane.
The vesicles coalesce in later stage. The bull also shows similar
lesions on the penis and the prepuce.

Treatment:

1. A c i d nitricum: When the vesicles are on the opening

parts of the vulva with watery discharge this remedy can be
conveniently used.

Dose: One dose daily for one week.

2. Cantharis 30: Vesicular inflammation on the genital

tract with frequent urination.

Dose: One dose daily three times for five days.

3. Hydrastis: This remedy is indicated when thick catarrhal

exudate is present.

Dose: One dose daily for one week.

4. Mercurius corrosivus 2 0 0 : This drug should be

administered when the vaginal surface is ulcerated with severe
inflammation and secondary infection.

Dose: One three times daily for three days.

5. R h u s t o x i c o d e n d r o n 3 0 : This drug is highly effective

in early stages of vesicles, when the surrounding mucous
membrane has become dark red.

Dose: One dose daily for five days.

The vulva and vagina in female and the penis and prepuce
in male should be washed with calendula lotion (strength 1:10).
B. G R A N U L A R V A G I N I T I S :

This is a condition in which lymphoid nodules are present

on the vulva and the posterior vagina. Similar lesions may also
be present on the prepuce and penis of bulls. The causative
agent is probably an infection. This is common in heifers than
in cows. In severe cases redness of the surrounding mucous
membrane assumes a granular appearance. Secondary infection
may lead to a purulent exudate.

Treatment:

1. C a l c a r e a fluoride 3 0 : It softens the lymphoid nodules

and helps its resolution.

D o s e : One dose twice daily for two weeks.

2. T h u j a occidentalis 3 0 : It is indicated where tumours

and nodules develop.

D o s e : One dose twice daily for two weeks.

MASTITIS
Mastitis is an inflammation of the mammary gland. It is
characterized by physical, chemical, bacteriological changes in
the milk and pathological changes in the glandular tissue.
Changes in milk includes discolouration, blood clots, and
increase in leucocytes.
In mastitis, heat, pain, swelling and induration of the
mammary gland is common. It is a complicated condition
produced by a number of factors, viz., faulty management,
bacterial infection and injury.
Many organisms are responsible for mastitis. Organisms
most commonly encountered are: streptococci, staphylococci, E.
coli, corynebacteria and pasteurellae. Infection of the mammary
gland occurs via the teat canal. The spread of infection is very
fast through the contaminated hands of milkers, towels and
milking machines. The infection may also extend from the lesion;,
on teat skin, especially at the orifice.
S y m p t o m s : There are three forms of mastitis—acute,
subacute and chronic. Acute form is sudden and generally occui
after parturition. Less severe forms occur at the time of drying
off and few cases may be recorded at any time during the
lactation. In this form, swelling of gland and change in milk is
sudden. In chronic form of mastitis, fever is absent and glands
may be fibrosed with reduced secretion of milk which may often
be with clots. Mastitis caused by Streptococcus agalactiae,
Streptococcus dysgalactiae, and Streptococcus uberis is acute
in form. This is characterized by severe swelling of the quarters
and abnormality of the milk. Mastitis caused by Staphylococcus,
immediately after few days of parturition, is of peracute form. This
may be fatal. In this form the udder becomes indurated, purple,
due to congestion and systemic signs. The above micro-
organisms may also cause chronic form in which induration
develops slowly with watery secretion leading to atrophy of the
quarters. There may be some cases in which secretions are of
purulent nature containing many thick clots. Mastitis caused by
E. coli is generally of peracute form which may lead to loss of
function of the affected quarters and in some cases, death. The
milk from the affected quarters is thin and yellow containing small
bran-like flakes. In such cases there may be very high fever.
Mastitis caused by Corynebacterium pyogenes is usually called
summer mastitis because of its appearance during the summer
months among animals that are not lactating. Summer mastitis
always commences acutely with severe systemic reaction. More
than one quarter may be involved, which gets indurated secreting
thick cheese-like milk. Less severe cases produce a purulent
secretion through the outer skin.
 iment:
1. A r n i c a 3 0 : When mastitis is due to injury to the udder
JO and the milk contains blood this drug may be administered.

Dose: One dose three times daily for three days.

2. A c o n i t e 3 0 : In acute cases, which develop suddenly,

sibly after exposure to cold or dry winds, this remedy is highly
active.

Dose: One dose every half hour, total six doses.

3. A p i s mellifica 3 0 : This drug is indicated in freshly

ilvcd heifers showing oedema of udder and surrounding
Bsues.

Dose: One dose every three hours, total four doses.

4. B e l l a d o n n a 1 M : This drug relieves the acute form which

Irvelops after parturition; there is acute red swelling and pain
palpation.
Dose: One dose every hour, in all four doses.

5. B r y o n i a alba 30: This remedy is preferred when the

jdder is hard and indurated and in acute cases when pain is
Sieved by palpation. The chronic form showing fibrosis is also
benefited by this remedy.
Dose: One dose four hourly for four doses in acute form
and one dose twice weekly for one month in chronic form.

I 6. Bellis p e r e n n i s 3 0 : If the injuries are deeper and

I chronic this drug is useful.

Dose: One dose three times daily for four days.

7. H e p a r sulphuris: It is useful in mastitis caused by

orynebacterium pyogenes or in summer mastitis. It clears the
dder in low potencies by drafting out the pus.
 Dose: One dose every three hours for four doses and
when the udder is drained then higher potencies may bo
supplemented to effect cure.

8. Ipecac 3 0 : It controls mammary bleeding which results

in pink milk. One dose three times daily for four days.

S. Phytolacca 3 0 : In acute form when milk is curdled and

clotted, and in chronic form when small clots are present, this
remedy is very useful.

Dose: One dose three times daily for three days and then
one dose daily for four days.

10. Sulphur 3 0 + C a r b o v e g 3 0 : It gives excellent results

both in acute and subacute cases in which clots are usually large
and yellow-tinged.

Dose: One dose three times daily for three days.

11. Silica 2 0 0 : This drug is indicated in pyogenic infection

and in chronic mastitis cases in which purulent foci and sinuses
are formed due to multiple abscesses.

Dose: One dose twice daily for four weeks.

12. Urtica urens 6: This drug provides relief in acute

mastitis showing oedema which may be in the form of plaques
extending to the perineal areas.

Dose: One dose every hour for four doses.

Prevention: When mastitis is a herd problem prevention

by administering nosode is a practical solution. For preparing a
nosode it is first important to identity the causative bacteria. A
nosode of that bacteria, one dose monthly, will prevent the
disease. A combination of Phytolacca + Sulphur + Carbo veg
in 30th potency, approximately 5 ml, should be added in the
 _ water once in a month. This will prevent the disease
he herd and may even provide cure to existing subclinical
II

Puerperal mastitis: A combination of Arsenic alb 6 + 30

/ V i c biniodide 3x + Hepar sulph 6 + 30 every two hours till
•f subsides, then 4 times a day till mammary swelling
kildes.

B L O O D IN M I L K

Sometimes the milk from one or more of the teats may

lain blood. I have cured number of such cases by
linistering Ipecacuanha 30 one dose three times daily. If it
sure that the blood in the milk is due to injury, then Arnica
should be given and externally arnica lotion may also be
Dplied.

S O R E T E A T S : If the sore teat is due to injury, apply arnica

Dtion which is sufficient to provide cure. If sore teat is due to
varts, then apply Thuja externally, 20 drops of the strong tincture
an ounce of water. The sore area should be moistened twice
day. Thuja 30 may be indicated internally twice daily for 10
/s followed by Thuja 200 once weekly for six weeks. I have
cured many cases, but the result can be appreciated one month
after treatment only. If there are ulcers on the teats, Silica 30,
Arsenicum 30 and Sulphur 30 are the best remedies. These
drugs can be administered as two doses daily until the ulcers
are healed.

I M P U R E M I L K : When inherent impurities in milk are

observed which may be due to pathological condition, Sulphur
administered night and morning will often restore the milk to its
pure character.
 S P O N T A N E O U S F L O W O F M I L K A N D S W E L L I N G OF
T H E U D D E R : In some animals flow of milk is spontaneous and
swelling of the udder occurs without any change in the milk. In
such cases Belladonna 30 may be administered twice daily.

A G A L A C T I A : Agalactia is a condition in which milk

secretion is diminished or completely stopped. This partial or
complete absence of milk may be in the entire udder or in many
cases may affect one or more mammary quarters. The condition
may be due to failure of let-down or absence of synthesis of
milk. The causes of failure of let-down of milk include condition
of the teat, the udder, the uterus and general deficiencies, like
of calcium; debility, nutritional status, infection like mastitis,
hypocalcaemia, hormonal imbalance or hormonal defects, and
in some animals incomplete development of the mammary tissue.
It may also arise from extreme cold environment without affecting
general health.

Agalactia
1) Lack of mammary Swelling, enlargement, of the
development, inherited mammary gland
or not
2) Ergot in feed 1) Toxic agalactia 1) Agalactia without
3) Chronic diseases systemic illness
2) Mastitis 2) Phyhological
agalactia
3) Physiological
congestion and
oedema
4) Infected teat and
teat necrosis

Treatment:

1 . Alfalfa 3 0 : It influences nutrition by toning up the

appetite and digestion. It increases quality and quantity of milk
 i n using mother and corrects agalactia due to nutritional
alance.

Dose: One dose twice in a day for 10 days and then

Intenance once a day till complete recovery.

2. C h a m o m i l l a 30: If the changes in milk arise from cold

Ing while the general health of the animal is not affected, this
sdy is useful.

Dose: One dose twice daily.

3. C a l c a r e a p h o s 30: It is an excellent galactagogue which

nders milk more nutritious and the quantity is also increased.

D o s e : One dose twice daily.

4. Lecithin 12: It is an excellent galactagogue, renders

ilk more nourishing and increases quantity. A dose twice daily.

5. C o m b i n a t i o n of C F 3 x + C P 3 x + N M 3 x + S 12x:
A dose twice daily will increase milk by correcting agalactia.

6. R i c i n u s c o m 30: It corrects agalactia and increases

the quantity of milk.

7. Urtica u r e n s 30: It boosts the diminished secretion of

milk.

D o s e : One dose twice daily.

8. Silica 1 M : When the milking animal has no detectable

abnormalities but may be suffering from psychological agalactia,
eg., death of calf, this drug may be administered. Majority of
the animals were corrected within 15 days of the treatment.

D o s e : One dose twice daily for 10 days and a thereafter

on alternate days till recovery.
 If agalactia is due to hormonal deficiency oxytocin can be
administered, but if agalactia is due to metritis, then appropriate
treatment as suggested in section metritis and mastitis can be
followed.

I have successfully treated a number of cases of agalactia

by giving combination of Five phos 30 + R. com 30 + U. urens
30 two times daily.

Take leaves of castor plant, boil in water, wash the udder

several times with it, cures in 1 or 2 days, or styptic of castor
leaves may be pasted on the udder to increase milk and cure
agalactia.

T O S T O P M I L K : In some pet animals it is required to

suppress the synthesis and secretion of milk for various reasons.

NS 3x alone or mixture of CF 3x, NM 3x and NS 3x can

be administered. Masoor dal ground with water may be applied
on udders. Milk is stopped in 2 days.

To suppress lactation give Lac caninum.

PROLAPSE OF UTERUS

Prolapse of uterus is of two types:

1. P r e p a r t u m cervicovaginal prolapse: Pregnancy is the

prerequisite for this.

Aetiology:
a. Increased oestrogen hormone level in last 2-3 months
of pregnancy. Oestrogen level gradually rises and reaches peak
at the time of parturition. But if there is sudden rise in oestrogen
level prior to parturition it results in this prolapse, because
oestrogen causes relaxation of sacrosciatic ligament and
increased tonicity of uterus.
 b. Increased intraabdominal pressure is another cause.
When the animal sits down there is prolapse of vagina and on
'•landing it disappears.
c. Hereditary: It is transmitted from mother to daughter.
d. Injury: Causes continuous irritation of vaginal mucous
membrane due to which straining increases and prolapse occurs.
e. Confinement for longer period.
f. Distension of abdomen.
g. Mouldy type of feed.
h. Deficient progesterone is unable to control oestrogen
level.
i. Deficiency of calcium,
j. Abdominal colic.
k. Vaginal irritation due to vaginitis.

Treatment:
a. For deficiency of calcium give Calcarea phos 30 a dose
twice daily for 10 days and then 3 days in a week till parturition
takes place.
b. If the cause of prolapse is injury, give Arnica 30 four
times daily.

c. To avoid distension of abdomen, overfeeding should be

avoided.

d. In all cases Calcarea phos 30 + Carbo veg 30 + Sepia

6 are drugs of choice. Give dose twice daily for 10 days and
then a dose 3 days in a week till parturition takes place.

e. In first degree cases only, Murex 6 + 30 twice daily

3 days in a week for 4 to 6 weeks.

f. Confinement for longer time should be avoided.

 g. In case of abdominal colic, give Mag phos 6 + Nux
vomica 12 + Carbo veg 30 + Pulsatilla 30, a dose 4 times daily.

h. Avoid mouldy type of feeding to pregnant animals.

Pregnant animals should be kept in standing position in slope
with head towards lower side and back on high side.

i. Good hygiene should be maintained in animal shed, floor

should be cleaned with disinfectant to avoid infection of the
prolapse.

2. P o s t p a r t u m cervicovaginal prolapse: Prerequisite is

parturition.

Aetiology

a. Main cause is dystocia.

b. Deficiency of calcium.
c. Feeding on pasture having oestrogen.
d. Colic pain.
5. Ergot liquid used for the expulsion of retained placenta
if in excess causes cervicovaginal prolapse.

Treatment:

1. Aloes has cured prolapse of uterus of long standing,

specially in tendency to morning diarrhea with dropping of uterus.

2. When vagina is much relaxed and there is copious white

like leucorrhoea, give Agnus castus 30, 3 times in a day for 7
days.

3. In acute cases, with a pressure feeling as if something

would come out, give Sepia 6 + 30, a dose 4 times daily.

4. In prolapse if straining is violent then give Secale

cornutum 30, a dose hourly for 5-6 doses.
 5. Prolapse of uterus from overlifting or straining, especially
Mei delivery, give a dose of Podophyllum 6 hourly, 6 doses are
Sufficient.

6. Manual correction of prolapse is essential. Before doing

ll wash the part with potassium permanganate lotion, apply
antibiotic ointments and then do the reposition of part. Cold
fomentation of pelvic area and uterine therapy have to be done
• e r putting the uterus back to normal. Roap truss or vulva
failures is done when needed.

7. Calcarea phos 30 + Calcarea carb 30 - a dose 3 times

daily should be given for one week, to obviate calcium deficiency.

8. Antibiotics like streptopenicillin should be given.

INFERTILITY
Infertility is expressed as a degree of reduced fertility and
Herility is to express complete inability to bear young.
Undoubtedly, in cattle, infertility incidence is high which causes
serious economic losses. Infertility is not a disease in itself, it
Is the end result of various errors of management and a large
group of diseases. Infertility may have its origin in ovarian
dysfunction or in the abnormalities of the uterus and fallopian
tubes. Infertility may be temporary or permanent. Following are
the causes of infertility where homoeopathic medication might
benefit. According to factors responsible for causation of infertility,
the treatment can be divided into four groups.

I. T e m p e r a m e n t a l factors
It is observed that some cows are shy breeders, which
refuse to mate even though they are in oestrus.
Treatment:

1. Sepia 2 0 0 : This remedy has been used by me on ma

shy breeders and found to be highly efficacious. It also ha
good effect on the whole genital tract and corrects many defect

Dose: One dose daily for 7 days and then once a we

for four weeks.

II. Early embryonic mortality

Abortion of foetus at an early stage. This condition ma
take place from conception to very few months, i.e., 2 months,
Abortion may result in delayed conception. Causes may b
specific diseases, such as, brucellosis and trichomoniasis, or du
to nonspecific reasons. The symptoms are very confusing an
the attendant may be under the impression that no conception
has taken place, until the animal exhibits oestrus.

Treatment:

1. V i b u r n u m opulus 3 0 : One dose weekly for three

weeks.

2. C a u l o p h y l l u m 30: This remedy is prepared from blue

cohosh plant, which is known to have actions on the female
genital system. It corrects uterine debility and rigidity of os uteri.

Dose: One dose in a week for eight weeks.

3. Sepia 2 0 0 : A dose daily for 7 days and then weekly

for four to six weeks.

III. Endocrine dysfunction

This is one common manifestation of breeding irregularities.
In these groups of animals, silent heat is the major factor of failure
of breeding. This condition is most commonly found in heifers,
 orally encountered in winter season. The disease is clinically
•uacterized by absence of oestrus cycle or weak and silent
I, Cows may not show definite signs of oestrus for months.
• condition is common in buffaloes.

atment:

1. Sepia 2 0 0 : It has a tonic effect on the ovaries and the

rus.

Dose: One dose daily for seven days.

2. Pulsatilla 3 0 : It has got good action on ovaries It

rrects ovarian dysfunction, particularly when it is associated
ith creamy consistent vaginal discharge.

Dose: One dose per week for four weeks.

3. Platina 3 0 : This remedy has beneficial action on ovarian

function. It is especially used when uterine discharge is catarrhal.
The urine may have a reddish sediment.

Dose: One dose daily for one week.

4. Aletris farinosa 30: Habitual tendency to abortion, and

when there is general uterine atony and a tendency to prolapse.
It is useful for animals which discharge blood during the oestrus
cycle. The blood may be dark and membranous.

Dose: One dose twice weekly for three weeks.

5. F o l l i c u l i n u m 6: It is used as a complementary drug

which aids other remedies.

Dose: One dose daily for three days.

A. A N O E S T R U S

When the animal expresses no ovarian activity and

oestrous cycle, the condition is named anoestrus. There are five
stages of the oestrus cycle, i.e., pro-oestrus, oestrus, metoestrus,
dioestrus, anoestrus. Anoestrus is a period of inactivity which
may occur as a sequela to diseases or pregnancy. If anoestrus
persists for a period more than seven or eight weeks after
parturition, it is regarded as pathological. In other words,
anoestrus is a departure from normal state when it persists above
eight weeks after parturition. It is fairly common in occurrence.
Following remedies are advised to initiate new oestrus cycle.

Treatment:

1. Pulsatilla 3 0 : It should be given in silent heat. Specially

it is advised when anoestrus is having a history of retention of
the placenta

2. l o d u m 30: This is a good remedy if the ovaries feel

small and shrivelled on rectal examination. It is specially suitable
for lean animals with good appetite and active temperament.

Dose: One dose daily for 10 days.

3. Calcarea p h o s p h o r i c a 3 0 : It is indicated when

anoestrus is accompanied with profuse leucorrhoea, which is
worse in the morning, and vaginitis.

Dose: One dose daily for three days followed by one every
second day for three doses.

4. Cal carb 6 + 2 0 0 + N a t r u m mur 3 0 + 200: The drug

is administered in alternation or singly twice daily for two days
in a week for a month and then less frequently.

B. C Y S T I C O V A R I E S

In cystic ovary, degenerative changes in the graafian follicle

may occur in which the ovum, membrane granulosa and the
external and internal thecal layers are all destroyed and the
follicle enlarges to a grossly abnormal size and does not rupture,
 hose changes may be accompanied by either absence of
ostrus, nymphomania or other aberrations of oestral behaviour,
ho ovaries may contain several cysts. Cystic ovary is always
;sociated with hyperplasia of the endometrium. Main clinical
mptoms are irregular heat period and nymphomania with

DISEASES OF THE
MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM

I. W O U N D

The animals are often exposed to wounds of various types.

I he treatment of wound differs depending on the manner in which
Ihey are produced, the extent of the injury and the part wounded.
The types of wounds are described below.

1 . Incised w o u n d : These are produced by sharp-edged

instruments or objects. These wounds have no shaggy edges
and heal most rapidly.

2. S t a b w o u n d : These wounds may not appear much

on the surface, but may be very serious depending on the part
injured. If the bowel has been cut, blood is generally discharged
from the anus or the contents of the bowel escape through the
wound.

3. L a c e r a t e d w o u n d : This type of wound is caused by

rough and blunt bodies and are characterized by a jagged,
uneven appearance and little bleeding.

4. C o n t u s i o n or bruise: Though the skin is intact or

unbroken, however, much of the soft underneath may be crushed
or lacerated. These occur generally due to fall, blow from stick,
and butting with horns. In such cases, affected part get;,
indurated and subsequently becomes hot and tender.

Treatment:

1. First clean the wound with water boiled with neem

leaves. Remove foreign substance, if any, i.e. dirt, piece of wood,
glass, sand, by a sponge. To control bleeding, press the wound
with a cloth or sponge wetted in cold water. If arteries have been
severed, they should be tied by means of a strong ligature of
silk or catgut. The healing of cut wounds is done by bringing
the edges together by stitching them. After stitching, apply a
bandage or piece of cloth saturated with calendula lotion. These
must be changed several times daily. In deep wounds, injections
of arnica are to be given. In wounds of severe character, internal
use of arnica should be recommended every few hours.

2. A c o n i t u m 30: If there is fever,

Dose: One dose every 3-4 hours till fever subsides.

3. Mixture of C S 3x, FP 12x, NP 3x, a n d S 12x 3 times

daily fpr three days.

4. Calendula: For fast healing of the wound calendula

ointment may be applied locally. Calendula 30 few doses daily
for 7 days also helps speedy recovery. In my experience
Calendula is the best remedy for severe wounds, especially if
they are clean and uncomplicated.

5. A r n i c a m o n t 3 0 : While the local treatment is being

carried out, a dose of Arnica internally three times a day will
expedite the cure.

6. R h u s t o x i c o d e n d r o n 2 0 0 : This is a fine remedy when

the effects are due to straining the muscle. Absolute rest to
the animal is essential.
 Dose: A dose 3-4 times a day internally along with mother
pure diluted 2 0 times gently rubbed on the part twice a day.

7. S y m p h y t u m 3 0 : If bone is fractured, this medicine is

commended.

Dose: Give one dose three times a day for one week.

8. C a l e n d u l a 2 0 0 + A r n i c a 3 0 + R h u s t o x 3 0 + Calcarea
jlph 3 0 : I have used this combination in many cases
respective of the type of wound and have achieved success.

II. A B S C E S S

Abscess is a painful and inflamed swelling which on

opening discharges a yellowish liquid called pus or matter. The
ffect of abscess depends upon their magnitude, situation,
lumber and pressure on important parts. Abscesses are common
in horned cattle, because they frequently strike each other with
their horns causing contusions and wounds, which often swell
and suppurate. In dogs also abscess is common due to one biting
the other. In such cases infection gets into deep tissues and
abscess is formed. There are also other causes of abscess, e.g.,
injury by hoofs, horns, nails or other bodies in the flesh of skin.

S y m p t o m s : At first the swelling is hot and painful. Later

on, as matter accumulates, it becomes soft-centred where the
skin necroses and the matter or pus escapes.

Treatment:

Immediate treatment of the primary injury prevents abscess

formation.

1. B e l l a d o n n a 3 0 : In early stages when inflammation and

heat are present, this drug is useful.

Dose: A dose every two hours for two to three days.

 2. Hepar s u l p h 30: When the abscess is forming but not
yet ripe.

Dose: A dose 3-4 times daily.

3. Silicea 3 0 : When the matter is slow in forming or aftor

opening, the discharge is inadequate and offensive.

Dose: One dose may be given four times a day up to

7 days.

4. Arsenic 3 0 : This homoeopathic medicine is useful if

the edges are hard, turned outwards and the part is painful,
secreting a thin and acrid watery matter. A dose three times
daily.

5. Calcarea s u l p h 30: In the end given to dry the wound.

Abscess is to be opened and the pus removed. Then clean

it with hot water. Any antiseptic or Calendula lotion may be
applied in proportion of one part to three parts of water.

(a) A B S C E S S O F T H E F O O T

This type of abscess is common in animals kept in

unsanitary conditions. Penetrating wound of the sole is common
causes of abscess of the foot.

S y m p t o m s : First sign is lameness of the animal due to

severe pain. It raises the foot above the ground. Sinus may
form and then the pain becomes less severe.

Treatment:

1. B e l l a d o n n a 3 0 : If given in early stage the inflammation

can be aborted.

D o s e : One every hour, in all four doses.

 2. Hepar s u l p h 3 0 : In the acute stage this potency will
I p the abscess to resolve. Lower potencies may help to drain
the purulent matter.

Dose: One dose every two hours, total four doses.

3. Silica 2 0 0 : This remedy is useful in chronic form. It

ill help to dry up the sinuses which may develop.

Dose: One dose per day for ten days.

4. Mixture of C F 3x + C S 3 x + KP 3x + N M 3 x three
times daily.

(b) P U L M O N A R Y A B S C E S S

When chronic pneumonia is complicated by the presence

ot purulent focus it is known as pulmonary abscess. Severe
mastitis, metritis, pericarditis, traumatic peritonitis, and many
other severe septic states may give rise to metastatic abscess
in the lungs.

S y m p t o m s : Persistent cough and loss of condition are the

commonest early signs. Lung bleeding and purulent nasal
discharges are common.

Treatment:

Such cases should be treated with antibiotics in conjugation

with the following homoeopathic remedies. Treatment of lung
abscess by homoeopathy alone is extremely difficult.

1. Hepar s u l p h 2 0 0 , 1 M : In septic state it is a useful

remedy.

Dose: One dose 3 times daily for five days.

2. Silicea 2 0 0 : When purulent greyish expectoration is

found this drug may be administered.
 Dose: One dose daily for seven days.

3. C a r b o vegetabilis 3 0 : Threatened collapse from

neglected pneumonia, with purulent expectoration.

Dose: One dose three times daily for two days.

III. F I S T U L A O R S I N U S

A fistula is a narrow passage lined by a false membrane

secreting pus, with a narrow callous opening, and having no
tendency to heal. Its formation is common after wound and
abscess. It may be connected with bones. Sinus or sinuses in
foot generally have an opening in the coronet between hair and
hoof, generally on the inside. It is also called quitter.

Treatment:

In many cases it requires surgical operation, which consists

of slitting up all the ramification and burrowing of the fistula under
the skin. Injection of strong solutions of the medicines into the
sinus are sometimes effective.

1 . S u l p h u r 3 0 : In many long-standing cases this drug has

given good result.
Dose: Two times daily for 10 days. May be repeated if
necessary.
2. S u l p h u r 3 0 + Silicea 30: Useful in fistula of the eye
in canines.
Dose: Two times daily for one week.
3. C a l c a r e a carb 3 0 + Pulsatilla 3 0 + Silica 3 0 : May
be given after Sulphur for complete cure.
4. Pulsatilla 3 0 : It is the principle remedy for fistula of
the equine salivary glands.
D o s e : A dose twice daily for 10 days.
 GONITIS

Gonitis is the inflammation of the stifle joint which is

imon in cattle. It is found in two forms, subacute and chronic,
old animals due to degeneration of joint and in other animals
a sequela to some severe sprain. Affected joint gets fixed
fid pain is produced on movement. Joint is enlarged in severe
les. In less severe cases involvement can be gauged on
alpation of the joint.

reatment:
1. A r n i c a 30: When the contributory cause is a physical
njury this drug is beneficial.

D o s e : A dose twice daily for five days.

2. R h u s t o x 1 M : If sprain is also present this remedy is

rational.

D o s e : One dose daily for one week.

3. R u t a graveolens 3 0 : If involvement of periosteum is

suspected, this medicine is excellent.

D o s e : One dose twice daily for one week.

4. S y m p h y t u m 2 0 0 : Animals with superficial fracture of

the bone will be benefited by this remedy.

D o s e : One dose daily for one week.

V. F O O T R O T

This is an infectious disease of cattle, characterized by

inflammation of the sensitive tissues of the feet and severe
lameness. The infection of the foot, if neglected, leads to
interdigital dermatitis and necrosis due to secondary infection.
In some cases the infection may extend up to the pastern joint.
It is caused by bacteria Fusobacterium necrophorum while other
pyogenic bacteria are responsible for secondary infection. This
disease appears to be contagious and the incidence is higher
during wet, humid weather. The farm conditions are such that
the animal's feet are constantly wet. The discharge from the feet
of infected animals is the probable source of the infection.

Treatment:

1. Calcarea fluorica 3 0 : This remedy will help to control

pedal osteitis and prevent tissue overgrowth.

Dose: One dose per day for seven days.

2. Hepar s u l p h 3 0 : This drug will help to prevent

secondary infection.

Dose: One per day for ten days.

3. Silicea 2 0 0 : It is more useful in chronic cases. It will

control necrosis of tissue and clear the foot of purulent material.

Dose: One dose per day for 10 days.

4. Natrum m u r i a t i c u m 2 0 0 : This remedy plays useful role

in many foot conditions.

Dose: One dose per day for 10 days.

VI. INTERDIGIJAL HYPERPLASIA

It is an overgrowth of connective tissue between the digits

of foot. The protrusions are referred to as corns and can become
the seat of necrosis. Longstanding irritation is the main cause.
Generally invading bacteria is Fusobacterium necrophorum.

S y m p t o m s : Patient walks in a stilted manner due to

lameness. The protrusion is obvious as the interdigital space
swells above the coronary band due to secondary infection.
 IEASES OF THE MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM 161

eatment:

1. C a l c a r e a fluorica 3 0 : This remedy prevents the

velopment of further growth by working as a good tissue
medy,

Dose: One per week for one month.

2. Silicea 2 0 0 : It reduces the existing excess tissue by

absorption of scar tissue.

D o s e : One daily for two weeks.

3. N a t r u m muriaticum 2 0 0 : This remedy will help to

control necrotic infection and ulceration.

D o s e : One daily for one week.

VII. R H E U M A T I S M

Rheumatism is a condition affecting the tissue at and

around the joints of bones, sinovial membrane, ligaments,
tendons, tendon sheath and muscle, manifesting a variable
degree of pains and interference with locomotion. It affects
horses, cows, and dogs, especially cows, and it is distinguished
as acute and chronic forms.

Acute rheumatism generally comes on suddenly, is

accompanied with fever and the affected parts are more or less
swollen, painful and hot. Walking of the animal becomes difficult,
moves with the greatest reluctance. Appetite is diminished;
appearance dull. Acute form is chiefly found in the young ones.
In this form temperature goes up to 106°F, pulse is hard, quick
and frequent.

Chronic rheumatism is without fever, more continuous, and

parts involved are painful, but less warm and rigid than in the
acute form. This disease invades almost every part of the body,
but more particularly, the outer parts, joints etc. which becomn
lame.

Aetiology: Localised septic focus e.g., chronic metritis,

cystitis etc. due to streptococcus infection is the predisposing
factor. Exciting causes are cold exposure, absence of sunlight,
constipation, etc.

Treatment:

Antirheumatic drugs except corticosteriods and antibiotics

alongwith following homoeopathic remedies give quick and
complete relief and recovery.

1. A c o n i t u m 3 0 : It is the best medicine to begin with

in acute form of rheumatism.

Dose: A dose four times a day.

2. Bryonia 3 0 : To follow Aconitum, or if fever is only

partially abated, to alternate with Aconitum every third hour.
Bryonia is especially required if the animal prefers recumbent
position and slight motion appears to aggravate the pain.

3. R h u s tox 2 0 0 : When the stiffness and lameness are

mostly observed at rest and when the animal first begins to move,
but are relieved after a little exercise.

4. A r n i c a m o n t 3 0 : It is suitable when affection follows

severe exertion. A dose 4 times a day.

5. Belladonna 3 0 : Particularly if the animal stumbles while

walking and the legs swell. A dose twice daily.

6. Sulphur 3 0 : If the relief by above medicines is partial,

give it as intercurrent dose to hasten the recovery.

7. R h u s t o x 3 0 + A r n i c a 3 0 + N a t r u m sulph 3 0 + Kali
s u l p h 3 0 + Ruta g r a v e o l e n s 3 0 : This combination has been
 by me in many acute and chronic cases and found effective,
ute cases give 3-4 times daily and in chronic cases twice
. Patient must be well cared for, have a warm dry habitation
a plentiful supply of clean dry straw.

. SPRAIN A N D STRAIN

Sprain is defined as the overstretching of the ligaments,

muscular or tendinous fibres or the fascia which covers them
twisting of a joint when there is some damage to its attachment.

A strain may mean much the same as a sprain, but is

plied more to the overexercise or overexertion of muscles and
ndons.

S y m p t o m s : Symptoms of inflammation, i.e., rednfess,

oiling, heat and pain on motion and pressure, may \be
companied with fever.

reatment:
Rest should be given to the limb, mitigating the pain and
inflammation. Arnica lotion may be applied.

1. A r n i c a m o n t 3 0 : If there is inflammation, Aconitum may

he alternated with Arnica four times daily. Otherwise Arnica alone
three times a day for seven days.

2. R h u s t o x 3 0 : If symptoms are relieved by slight

movement this remedy may be useful.

D o s e : A dose four times daily along with Rhus tox lotion

externally.

3. S y m p h y t u m 3 0 : Beneficial in cases of severe strain

involving the attachments of the tendons and the ligaments to
the bones. It also aids the repair of fracture.
D o s e : A dose three times daily for seven to ten days.
IX. O S T E O D Y S T R O P H Y
It signifies a disturbance in normal bone development
Developed bones may also be involved when abnormal growth
takes place. Rickets in young animals and osteomalacia in older
bones are the major manifestations of this disease.

Aetiology: The changes are usually due to deficiency of

calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D or changes in normal calcium
and phosphorus ratio. The disease is associated with relative
excess of phosphorus over calcium in the food. An excess of
phosphorus has the effect of making the diet relatively deficient
in calcium.

S y m p t o m s : Distortion and enlargement of bones renders

susceptibility to bone fracture. Normal movement is disturbed.
Weakening of the bones leading to fractures and deformities
depending on the age of the animals is the major clinical
manifestation. In many cases ends of long bones get enlarged.

Treatment:

1. C a l c a r e a p h o s 30: This remedy has been found very

much useful in young animals showing enlarged and painful bone
ends.

Dose: One dose per day for two to three weeks.

2. P h o s p h o r i c acid 30: This remedy is useful for rapidly

growing calves.

Dose: One dose daily for two weeks.

DISORDERS OF METABOLISM AND

MINERAL DEFICIENCIES

In the animal body there are about 30 to 40 mineral

lements which occur regularly in various parts of the body. In
ell organised farms running on organic lime, the question of
trace element deficiencies does not arise. The elements we are
considering are calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, sodium, and
potassium, together with cobalt and copper. The first five
elements should be in proper proportion in the soil. When these
are in an abnormal proportion, such rations upset the animals'
physiology. Hypomagnesaemia, hypocalcaemia, and
hypophosphataemia in milking and other animals are of common
occurrence. These deficiencies are alarming from economic
point of view since they directly affect the production potential
of the animals. Homoeopathic remedies such as Calcarea
phosphorica and Magnesium phosphoricum can be incorporated
in the diet in combination with various kali (potassium) and
natrum (sodium) salts to ensure supply of these elements.

1. M I L K F E V E R OR P A R T U R I E N T H Y P O C A L C A E M I A OR
PARTURIENT PARESIS

Milk fever is a metabolic disease occurring most commonly

at the time of parturition in adult females and is characterized
 VETERINARY HOMOEOPAIH

by hypocalcaemia, general muscular weakness, circulatory

collapse and depression of consciousness. It is a lactation
disease commonly seen in cows which have attained their highor
productive period. It is common in cows that are in fourth, fifth
or sixth lactation. The disease is commonly encountered within
72 hours of parturition and may also occur before calving,
Exceptionally, the disease may occur during late lactation. Tht
immediate cause is the reduction or fall in the level of calcium
in the animal body. Main cause is too little calcium, being fed
against the demand on the dam's reserves by the developing
foetus which is further aggravated due to drain of calcium m
colostrum. Stall fed animal with high food, yielding large supply
of milk, are more liable to the disease.

S y m p t o m s : This disease have been described in three

stages.

First stage: The animal is disinclined to move, does noi

eat, there may be shaking of the head, protrusion of the tongue
and grinding of the teeth. Rectal temperature is usually normal
to slightly above normal level. Stiffness of the hindlegs, and the
animal falls easily.

S e c o n d s t a g e : This stage is also called the stage of

sternal recumbency. Consciousness is depressed. Animal
shows drowsy appearance and sits down with lateral kink of the
neck or the head turned towards the flank. In this stage the animal
is not able to stand. The muzzle is dry, skin and extremities
are cold and the rectal temperature is subnormal. The pupil is
dilated, dry eyes, weak pulse and decreased heart sound.
Ruminal stasis and constipation are characteristic signs.

Third stage: The third stage is that of lateral recumbency.

The cow is almost comatose and cannot sit. The pulse rate
is increased although it is imperceptible. The heart sounds are
inaudible. Bloat is usually present because of the typical posture.
 tment:
Majority of the cases can be successfully treated by
^nous and subcutaneous injections of calcium and related
h To avoid the risk of relapse and prevent complications of
nervous system, homoeopathy works wonderfully. If
Myopathic medicines are given during the last trimester of
jnancy they completely prevent the occurrence of milk fever.

1. B e l l a d o n n a 1 M : It is given when animal is excited and

(font, throwing the head above with staring pupils and
x j o s t e d eyes.

Dose: One dose every half an hour for four doses.

2. Calcarea p h o s 1 M : In acute cases of first and second

5, this remedy is useful.

Dose: A dose twice daily for three to five days.

3. Bryonia 3 0 : This medicine is especially indicated when

disease appears to affect the chest more than the head.
yonia can also be given in alternation with Aconitum.

Dose: A dose three times a day in alternation with

xiitum.

4. M a g n e s i u m p h o s p h o r i c u m 3 0 : It should be given to
;ot magnesium deficiency.

5. S t r a m o n i u m 200: When nervous symptoms such as

etching are commonly seen.

D o s e : One dose every hour for six days.

6. O p i u m 2 0 0 : A useful remedy for the comatose patients

who lie still with stertorous breathing.
168 VETERINARY HOMOIXH

Dose: One dose every two hours, till the symptom*

subside.

7. P h o s p h o r u s 30: In extremely prostate condition it worH

as restorative.

8. T h y r o i d 6: Thyroid gland being intimately involved Irt

the disease process, this medicine will help to regulate the thyroid
functions.

Dose: One dose every hour for three doses, followed b

one dose thrice daily for two days.

9. C u p r u m metallicum 1 M : It will assist in relieving

subsequent muscular cramps when the animal is on the way to
recovery.

Dose: One dose twice daily for two days.

10. C o l c h i c u m 200: If ruminal bloat is a problem,

administration of this remedy every half hour for four doses will
relieve the symptoms.

11. Mixture of C F 3x, C P 3x, FP 3x, K M 3x, a n d KP

3 x is also useful in many cases.

Dose: A dose three times daily till the symptoms subside.

12. N u x v o m i c a 30: Gives good results when recovered

but having weakness in hind quarters and indigestion.

To prevent this disease and other mineral deficiencies,

Five phos 3 0 , one dose weekly in the last three months of
pregnancy, will retain normal mineral reserves.
 ETOSIS O F R U M I N A N T S ( A C E T O N A E M I A O F C A T T L E )

Ketosis is a disease caused by impaired metabolism of

Dhydrate and volatile fatty acids. Biochemically, it is
racterized by ketonaemia, ketonuria, hypoglycaemia and low
lis of hepatic glycogen. Its occurrence in heavily producing
M in the post-calving period is common. This is because all
) yielding cows in early lactation are in negative energy
ince, and are subclinical^ ketonic. Carbohydrate deficiency
jits in lowering glucose level in blood of sick animals. It is
related to the disturbances of the function of the adrenal
ind.

S y m p t o m s : Clinically it is exhibited in two forms:

1. N e r v o u s f o r m : It is manifested by extreme
wvousness and excitability. Stalled animals may exhibit climbing
novements with frequent head shaking, which may end in
xivulsions. Comatose state is recorded occasionally.

2. Digestive f o r m : It shows inappetance for food with

sharp drop in milk production. Loss of condition rapidly
jpervenes. Occasionally appetite is maintained, but only for
)rtain types of food. The abdomen is tucked up and ruminal
nunds and movements are absent. Grinding of the teeth may
heard, and dung is dry and glazed-looking. Sweet smell of
sidosis may be detected in breath and milk. The later sign is
sgarded as constant and characteristic sign of acetonaemia.

Treatment:

It varies according to the form and predominant symptoms:

1. Five p h o s 3 0 + Alfalfa 3 0 : This combination has given

good results in both forms.

Dose: 5 globules three times a day for 10 days, then

maintenance dose for two days in a week.
 2. A c o n i t u m 12: It brings relief to the animal in early stago
of the nervous signs.

D o s e : One dose every hour, in all three doses.

3. S t r a m o n i u m 200: This drug is indicated to control fits

and convulsions.

D o s e : One dose every hour, in all four doses.

4. Cicuta virosa 30: It is useful in nervous form. The

animal's head appears twisted round due to deviation of neck
muscles.

D o s e : One dose every two hours, total four doses.

5. L y c o p o d i u m 1 M : This is a good remedy for the

digestive form of the disease. It has a tonic action on the liver,
regulating the glucose function and restoring normal glucose level
in the blood.

D o s e : One dose per day, for ten days.

6. N u x v o m i c a 1 M : It restores normal digestion. It is given

after Lycopodium.

D o s e : One dose daily for five days.

7. O p i u m 2 0 0 : If the patient is in depressed, collapsed

or comatose condition, this remedy is quite useful.

D o s e : Two doses at two hour interval.

MINERAL DEFICIENCIES

I CALCIUM AND PHOSPHORUS

Deficiencies of calcium and phosphorus are generally

und together because for their proper assimilation and
utilisation these minerals should be present in proper ratio in the
M d s of animals.

Calcium deficiency in young animals may take the form

f rickets, which leads to deposition of unclassified bone around
ho joints and bending of the long bones. In the advance stage,
il causes osteomalacia, in which normal bone is prosed, resulting
In softening, fragility and multiple deformities of the skeleton. It
r> most commonly recorded in pregnant or lactating cows and
ewes. Phosphorus deficiency may also lead to depressed or
abnormal appetite, pica, which is characterised by eating of the
uneatables, e.g., bones or leather. Its deficiency may also exhibit
suboptimal fertility because of ovarian dysfunction.

Treatment:
1. General: When the animal has a habit of eating mud,
Cal. carb., Cal. p h o s . , a n d Fer. met. may be given. Before
this deworming is essential.

2. Calcarea p h o s p h o r i c a 3 0 : It is given in deficiency of

both calcium and phosphorus. It should be given as a routine
remedy to all young stock during the first three months.

Dose: One dose per week. In acute cases, one dose per
day for 2 weeks.

3. Calcarea c a r b 3 0 + Cal p h o s 1M twice daily for 10

days cured many cases of pica miraculously. It can be given
to prevent also.

Supplementation of the diet with adequate minerals,

vitamins and trace elements is essential to get good results.
II. M A G N E S I U M

G R A S S T E T A N Y : Disease caused by magnesluJ

deficiency is hypomagnesaemia or grass tetany or lactation
tetany which is highly fatal disease in all classes of ruminants,
highest incidence being recorded in lactating cows. Clinically, It
is manifested by tonic and clonic muscular spasms, musculai
pain, convulsions and death due to respiratory failure. It occurs
mainly in cows which have calved a few weeks earlier and am
milking heavily. Attacks can be sudden and severe, although
milder forms also occur. Sudden death is the usual outcome in
hyperacute form.

S y m p t o m s : Patient is uncomfortable and twitching of the

muscles and the ear is evident. There is severe hyperesthesia,
gait becomes staggering, followed by clonic convulsions,
champing of the jaws, frothing at the mouth and retraction ol
the eyelids.

Treatment:

Injections of calcium-magnesium have given good results.

Following homoeopathic remedies will help to recover, and to
limit any damage to the central nervous system.

1 . M a g n e s i u m p h o s p h o r i c u m 30: This should be given

with other remedies alternatively up to four doses. In calves, Mag
phos 30 should be given one dose weekly up to two months,
preceding calving. This remedy may show additional advantages
when combined with Kali phos 30, since it is considered that
the element potassium is also a likely factor in the development
of attacks.

2. C u p r u m a c e t i c u m 6: It is useful in milder cases which

show spontaneous signs and is associated with cramps and
spasms. Such cases have paralytic tendency. If given early, it may
well prevent the onset of convulsions and cut short acute attacks.
 Dose: One dose every three hours for five doses.

3. B e l l a d o n n a 1 M : Acute attacks when animal shows

signs of convulsions, dilated pupil and nervous symptoms.

Dose: One dose every half an hour for six doses.

4. Cicuta v i r o s a 2 0 0 : When the neck of the sick animal

iws a distinct kink backward.

Dose: One dose every two hours for four doses.

5. S t r a m o n i u m 2 0 0 : When the animal is in standing

sition, shows tendency to fall forward to the left side, and when
the ground, there is raising and lowering of the head.

Dose: One dose every two hours for four doses.

In all cases, the animals should be kept as quiet as

possible and protected from bright light and sudden noise.

III. C O B A L T
Cobalt deficiency is characterised by anorexia and wasting.
Cattle and sheep are similarly affected and the signs are identical
In both species of animals. It is an essential trace element for
ruminants having known function only in the rumen and it must
be always present in the feed. The disease is caused by primary
deficiency in the diet. The effect of cobalt in the rumen is to
participate in the production of vitamin B12, as the requirement
of B12 is highest in ruminants as compared to other animals.
Cobalt deficiency causes inability to metabolize propionic acid
resulting in subnormal appetite. A gradual decrease in appetite
is the only obvious clinical sign accompanied by the loss of body
weight and finally emaciation and weakness. Growth, lactation
and wool productions are severely affected. Infertility, diarrhoea
and lachrymation may be observed in later stages.
Treatment:

C o b a l t u m 1 M : It will stabilize the element in the animal

body and is useful in long term therapy after administration of
cobalt solution. This drug may also be given with vitamin B1;*
in animals having acute signs.

Dose: Cobaltum 1M and Cobaltum chloratum 30 one dose

per week for three months.

IV. IRON
Iron deficiency always co-exists with cobalt deficiency, but
may also be present as a separate entity. Deficiency of iron in
the diet causes anaemia and failure to thrive. This disease is
more likely to occur in newborn animals.

S y m p t o m s : The commonest signs are loss of appe-

tite, emaciation, weakness, anaemia, and lowering of
haemoglobin content of blood.

Treatment:

1 . Ferrum metallicum 6: Iron in potentised form will

respond better than iron in the conventional manner, which is
frequently unutilized by the body.

Dose: One dose three times daily for two weeks.

2. Ferrum i o d a t u m 6: This drug may be given when

there is mucous discharge from the lungs containing blood.

Dose: One dose three times daily.

3. Ferrum m u r i a t i c u m 6: When there are signs of internal

bleeding, e.g., blood in urine, and heart symptoms like weak
thready pulse and rapid breathing are prominent.

Dose: One dose three times daily for one week.

 4. C i n c h o n a 6: For weakness and anaemia

Dose: One dose twice daily for two weeks.

5. N a t r u m muriaticum 3 0 : It helps to regulate salt

otabolism and fluid elimination.

D o s e : One dose per day for two weeks.

6. T r i n i t r o t o l u e n e 3 0 : It has good effect on haemogtobin.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for one week.

DISEASES CAUSED BY BACTERIA,

VIRUS AND PROTOZOA

BACTERIAL DISEASES

(A) A N T H R A X

Anthrax is a parachute disease characterised by septicaemia

and sudden death with the exudation of tarry blood from the body
orifices of the cadaver. Failure of the blood to clot, absence of
f igor mortis and the presence of splenomegaly are the most
important necropsy findings. It is caused by Bacillus anthracis.

S y m p t o m s : It is found in peracute, acute and chronic form.

Temperature is raised from 105 to 108°F.

Treatment:

Penicillin, oxytetracycline give good response.

Homoeopathic treatment is given according to symptoms.

1 . A r s e n i c 1 M : It should be given in the beginning to

control the disease in its first stage. Its frequency of
administration should be decided as per necessity.

2. Lachesis: This remedy is given in second stage of

disease, particularly when body and eyes become blue coloured,
and blood is found in faeces with fetid odour.
 -I
3. E c h i n a c e a : This is the remedy for the third stag! I
the disease.

Doses potency and frequency of administration should ho

decided according to condition of the disease. In addition
above treatment cobra, tarentula and pyrogen are also to be trl

(B) A C T I N O M Y C O S I S ( L U M P Y J A W )

The most common manifestation of this disease in cattl

is a rarefying osteomyelitis of the bones. In animals usually
mandible and maxilla are involved. The disease rarely extendi
to soft tissues, particularly of the alimentary tract. The causative
agent is Actinomyces bovis. Other bacteria may be present In
extensive lesions.

The disease is common in cattle, but occasionally pigs and

horses may also be affected. Involvement of the jaw causo'i
interference in prehension and mastication of food and, where
the alimentary tract is involved, indigestion, change in ruminil
movement, etc are seen. In both situations, partial starvation
results.

S y m p t o m s : It starts as painless swelling on the mandiblo

or the maxilla. Mandible, in majority of the animals, is the site
of lesion which gets thickened. This swelling may be slow
growing or it may develop rapidly. The swelling is very hard
and immovable. In the later stages these swellings are painful
to touch and usually burst discharging pus through one or more
openings. The pus is sticky, honey-like fluid containing minute
hard yellow-white granules. In severe cases it may spread to
soft tissue, muscles and fascia of the throat.

Treatment:

1. Hekla lava 1 M : This drug is the most successful

remedy for bony swellings, especially of the head bones.
 Dose: One dose daily for 10 days; may be continued in
'i potencies as per needs.

2. Kali h y d r i o d i c u m 2 0 0 : This remedy has specific

P n s on the infection and may be used as an injection.

Dose: One dose twice daily for 10 days.

3. A c i d u m fluoricum 3 0 : Ulceration of overlying skin and

|ts of bone with discharge.

Dose: One dose twice daily for two weeks.

) ACTINOBACILLOSIS (WOODEN TONGUE)

Actinobacillosis is a specific infectious disease of cattle. It
characterized by inflammation of the tongue, less commonly,
pharyngeal lymphnodes and oesophageal groove. Causative
janism is Actinobacillus lignieresii, and generally associated
other pyogenic bacteria. Actinobacillosis of the tongue is
.u,illy referred to as "wooden or timber tongue" since in this
•ease the tongue becomes thick and hard. Salivation is profuse
HI not frothy and in severe cases the tongue may become
•Berated. The affected tongue is swollen and hard, particularly
ti ihe base. Nodules and ulcers are present on the sides of
[tongue. Acute stages may lead to chronic form in which tongue
becomes fibrosed, shrunken and immobile. Enlargement of the
retropharyngeal nodes causes interference with swallowing and
loud snoring respiration.

Treatment:

1. Kali h y d r i o d i c u m 2 0 0 : The indications and doses are

as described for actinomyosis.

2. M e r c u r i u s iodatus flavus 3 0 : This drug is given when

the throat glands are swollen, especially of right side.

Dose: One dose three times daily for five days.

180 VETERINARY H O M O I O I '

3. Mercurius iodatus ruber 3 0 : It acts on swollen tlm

glands of right side. It is found useful for cases involving ft
tongue, especially when the posterior part is affected.

Dose: One dose three times daily for five days.

(D) B O T U L I S M

Botulism is a rapidly fatal, motor paralysis caused

ingestion of the toxins of Clostridium botulinum. This organisn
proliferates in the decomposing animal matter and sometimes
plant material. Cattle grazing in phosphorus-deficient pasture
are especially predisposed to this disease. In phosphorulj
deficiency, pica develops, i.e., eating foreign objects like bon<m,
etc. It is assumed that the toxin is ingested when the anima
eats bones in an endeavor to satisfy the need for phosphoru f
The organism secretes the toxins in decaying animals or
vegetable material, which could be consumed by cattle in periods
of drought or in the absence of fodder.

S y m p t o m s : The toxin acts on the peripheral nerves,

causing paralysis of the muscles, affecting mastication, and tho
limbs. Patient feels difficulty in walking with stiff gait and head
carried near the ground. There is excessive salivation and
deglutition and in many cases the tongue may be protruded duo
to paralysis of the nerves.

Treatment:

1. G e l s e m i u m 200: Paralytic symptoms of throat causing

difficulty in swallowing.

Dose: One dose every hour, total five doses.

2. P l u m b u m metallicum 3 0 : It cures general paralysis

of the limb muscles, especially the forelimbs. The drug is notably
useful where paralysis is preceded by loss of sensation in the
affected part.
 Dose: One dose twice daily for one week.

3. C o n i u m m a c u l a t u m 2 0 0 : It is effective when paralytic

loms of hindlegs are seen. Animal is sometimes unable to

Dose: One dose twice daily for one week.

4. Curare 30: It is useful in mild cases showing muscular

M S with difficulty in walking properly with forelimbs,

Dose: One dose thrice daily for five days.

5. Lathyrus sativus 1 M : Peripheral paralysis of throat

mouth.

Dose: One dose every hour for four doses followed by

dose per day for four days.

) BLACK QUARTER

Black quarter is an acute febrile disease of cattle,

aracterized by emphysematous sero-haemorrhagic swelling in
I heavy muscles, especially of hindlegs caused by Clostridium
auvoei.

S y m p t o m s : There is an acute lameness with a hot, tense

nd painful swelling of varying size situated usually in a hind
uarter or forelimb, accompanied by high temperature. The
swelling may develop in the muscle of the chest, back and neck.
At first the swelling is small, but as the disease progresses it
ecomes larger and crepitates on palpation. When the swelling
Is incised a dark frothy fluid escapes.

Treatment:

In allopathy, penicillin and tetracycline are tried. In

homoeopathy following medicines are useful. In acute disease,
higher potency with increased frequency gives good results.
 1. Hepar s u l p h : High temperature with red swelling,
intolerable pain when touched.

2. R h u s tox: This is an important medicine in rainy season

and when swelling gives crepitating sound on palpation.

(F) H A E M O R R H A G I C SEPTICAEMIA

It is usually an acute, less frequently sub-actue febril©

disease of cattle and buffaloes, characterised by sudden onset
of high temperature 104°F to 106°F or more. Oedematoua
swelling of subcutaneous tissue, particularly of the throat, and
acute gastro-enteritis caused by bacteria Pasteurella multocida.
In the majority of cases the head, dewlap and neck gets swollen
due to infiltration of inflammatory exudate in the subcutaneous
tissue. The swelling is hard, hot, tense and painful.

Treatment:

Sulpha, and oxytetracycline and other antibiotics have been

widely used with success, but if this treatment is given in
conjugation with following homoeopathic medicines, 100% results
are obtained.

1. L a c h e s i s : In the initial stage, start with this remedy.

2. A r s e n i c : It is the best remedy which saves maximum

animals, hence should be given first preference.

3. M e r c u r i u s : There is much swelling and discharges from

nose are profuse.

4. Bryonia: When swelling is hard and intense.

(G) L E P T O S P I R O S I S

This disease occurs in all farm animals causing

septicaemia, interstitial nephritis, a haemolytic anaemia and
abortion in most species and mastitis in cattle.
 There are two main species of Leptospira, Leptospira
nona and Leptospira icterohaemorrhagiae. Later causes
ase in calves and younger animals. The source of infection
usually an infected animal which contaminates pasture,
iking water and feed by infected urine, aborted foetuses and
feted discharges.

The disease is manifested by septicaemia with high fever

to 107°F), anorexia, petechiae on mucosa, depression,
ilc haemolytic uraemia with haemoglobinuria, jaundice,
x;ieased heart rate with prominent dyspnea. Abortion due to
[ttemic reaction. Milk flow almost ceases and the secretion is
HJ coloured or contains blood clots. Mastitis develops. Severe
pneness due to synovitis in some animals and a necrotic
nmatitis probably due to photosensitization occur. In chronic
forms, above symptoms are milder. Abortion occurs most
commonly in group of cattle which are at about the same stage
[of pregnancy.

Treatment:
1. A c o n i t u m napellus 12: It is given in early stages of
the disease.

Dose: One dose every half hour, total four doses.

2. C r o t a l u s horridus 2 0 0 : It controls liver complication,

haemorrhage and jaundice.

Dose: One dose every half an hour, total four doses.

3. B e r b e r i s vulgaris 3 0 : It is useful in milder cases. It

will control liver dysfunction and reduce haemoglobinuria.

Dose: One dose three times daily for two days.

4. P h o s p h o r u s 1M: It controls haemorrhage; clay-

coloured faeces.
 184 VETERINARY HOMOI <

Dose: One dose daily for one week.

5. Ipecacuanha 30: It is good antihaemorrhagB

especially it controls blood in milk.

Dose: One dose three times daily for three days.

(H) T E T A N U S

Tetanus is a highly infectious, fatal disease for all specioa

of domestic animals, caused by the anaerobic bacteria,
Clostridium tetani. It is characterized by hyperaesthesia, tetany
and convulsions. Horses are most susceptible followed by goats
and sheeps. The disease rarely occurs in cattle. This organism
-produces its toxin only in the absence of free oxygen. Tho
danger of tetanus is usually greater when the animals are inflicted
with deep punctured wounds which are deprived of free oxygen

S y m p t o m s : The incubation period varies from one to three

weeks and may be as long as several months after the infection
is introduced. A general increase in muscle stiffness is observed
first followed by muscle tremors. The jaw movements are
restricted. The stiffness of the hindlegs cause an unsteady
straddling gait and tail is held out stiffly. Prolapse of the third
eyelid is one of the earliest signs. In later stages respiration rate
is increased and patient shows difficulty in chewing or swallowing.
There is increased response to external stimuli. Bloat and
tenesmus are fairly constant signs in later stages.

Treatment:

Besides routine administration of antitoxin and antibiotics,

following homoeopathic remedies should be given to achieve
good result.

1. H y p e r i c u m 1 M : The animal has deep wounds and

the nerve endings are exposed to infection.
 Dose: A dose every hour, total five doses.

2. L e d u m palustre 3 0 : Deep punctured wounds, when

surrounding tissues have become cyanotic. It may also be
nnistered in alternation with Hypericum.

Dose: One dose every hour, total five doses.

3. S t r y c h n i n u m 2 0 0 : There is muscular rigidity and limbs

extended along with arched back.

Dose: One dose three times daily for five days.

4. C u p r u m m e t 1 M : It is given in early stage of muscular

imp and spasm when the skin underlying the wound has turned
jish.

Dose: One dose twice daily for four days.

5. N u x v o m i c a 1 M : When digestive symptoms such as

bloat appears, this medicine may also be administered.

Dose: One dose twice daily for five days.

6. C o l c h i c u m 2 0 0 : It is used in conjugation with other

fcmedies like Nux vomica when bloat is severe.

Dose: One dose every half an hour, total 4 doses.

VIRAL DISEASES

(A) F O O T A N D M O U T H D I S E A S E

Foot and mouth disease is an extremely contagious acute

disease of all cloven-footed animals. It is caused by a virus
and characterized by fever and formation of vesicles and ulcers.
As the name of the disease indicates the lesions are chiefly
present in the mouth and on the foot. It is a common disease
186 VETERINARY HOMOE;OI».\

among cattle, buffalo, and sheep, but under favourabl

circumstances other domestic quadrupeds may also be affected.
The four major strains of virus causing this disease are A, o
C and Asia 1. Unfortunately the virus seems to be capable
infinite mutation so that new antigenically different subtypes ni
constantly appearing, more than 60 of these have been identifie

S y m p t o m s : Incubation period of the disease is from thr

to six days. The initial symptoms are dullness, high fever, fall
in milk yield, indolent gait, red eyes, restlessness, shaking of th
head, stamping with the feet, grinding of the teeth, and constant
movement of the tail. Vesicles when rupture soil the palate arr
gums with the vesicular fluid. The affected animals becom
anorexic and milk secretion is decreased. In some cases th
udder is indurated, hot, and painful when touched. Feet are als
hot, painful and the hooves, at the top, are swollen dischargin
fluid. Erythematous mucous membrane of the nostril and th
white of the eyes are common which soon gives rise to blisters
over whole of the mouth. The blisters contain fluid due to which
they increase gradually in size. The ruptured blisters may turn
into deep ulcer. The blisters also form on the hoof, especially
of the hindlegs. In complicated cases the hoof may fall off, There
is great weakness. Discharges are stringy. The saliva may be
bloody, and secondary bacterial infection may lead to swollen
face, bad breath, quick grunting and breathing, purging and
death may follow.

Treatment:

Being a viral disease there is no rational treatment, except

to control secondary infection by giving antibiotics. By
conventional treatment, the animal seems to suffer from sequela
syndrome. The signs are: panting respiration, uncontrolled
temperature, extra growth of hair, severe weakness, cessation
of milk secretion, intoleration of heat due to which the animal
seeks shadow or cold place, In some animals infertility may
 llop. I have treated thousands of these animals by combined
MI hie and homoeopathic treatment. The principal remedies
described below:

1. A r s e n i c u m 3 0 : The drug should be given at the

imcncement of the disease which may effect the cure.

Dose: 10 drops in few spoonful of water or five globules

ny 3 hours.

2. M e r c u r i u s solubilis 3 0 : If the disease has attained an

i/anced stage and is marked by extreme symptoms, like
nting of blisters, formation of deep and ragged ulcers, and
limy, bloody saliva or discharges, this drug is administered.

Dose: A dose four times daily.

3. R h u s t o x i c o d e n d r o n 3 0 : The drug is useful in lamness

foot, redness of mouth with burning pain.

Dose: A dose four times daily till recovery.

4. N a t r u m m u r i a t i c u m 3 0 : This drug is recommended

when, due to high temperature and salivation, animal gets
dehydrated and becomes weak.

Dose: One dose four times daily till recovery.

5. F e r r u m p h o s 3 0 : This remedy is useful in early febrile

stage with weakness. Can be given in alternation with Natrum
mur.

Dose: A dose every four hours till recovery.

6. B o r a x 3 0 : In stomatitis combined with Merc sol and

Arsenic.

Dose: One dose four times a day.

 7. Five p h o s 3 0 + Alfalfa 3 0 : It brings the animal baou
to normal health and restores the production if given after tht]
symptoms of the disease have subsided.

D o s e : One dose two times daily for 10 days.

I have tried remedies 1 to 6 combinedly irrespective of thM

symptoms. A dose four times daily for seven days has brought
about complete recovery without complications. I have also
conducted several trials with combination of Five phos 30 *
Alfalfa 30 + Kali sulph 30 + Ant tart 30 + N. sulph 30 + Arsenic
30 + Bryonia alb 30 in several groups of animals showing signs
of sequela of F.M.D. I have been able to achieve completo
recovery within 3 to 4 months of treatment.

I also tried Arsenic 30 + Merc sol 30 + Variolinum 30 as

a preventive medicine, a dose once in a week for three weeks.
The result was definitely better than the conventional vaccine,
in which few animals suffered from mild disease during a
subsequent epidemic. In my opinion, a nosode made from the
contents of the diseased part may also give prevention and cure.

A c c e s s o r y measures:

The animal should be kept housed in a quiet stall, with

plenty of fresh water, air, abundance of soft straw, and sufficient
soft palatable food.

(B) BLUE TONGUE

Blue tongue is a disease of sheep and occasionally cattle.

It is characterized by stomatitis, enteritis, rhinitis, starvation, and
inflammation of the coronary band and sensitive laminae of the
feet. It is caused by Orbivirus and transmitted by insect vectors.
The virus has 12 distinct strains and is very resistant to
decomposition, persists for long period in affected meat.
 S y m p t o m s : Incubation period is two to four days.
H r a c m i a occurs in the early stages of the disease and
ili/ation of the virus in vascular endothelium follows.
K)t»«.tiuction of vessel walls provides the characteristic epithelial
H e l o n s of blue tongue. In the beginning there is severe febrile
S e c t i o n , temperature rises up to 106°F. Fever continues for 5
mb 6 days. There is nasal discharge, salivation, with reddening
H f the buccal and nasal mucosa. The nasal discharge is
•mucopurulent and often blood- stained and saliva is frothy,
• w e l l i n g and oedema of the lips, gums, dental pad and tongue,
Htaoriation of buccal mucosa. Saliva becomes bloody leading to
•offensive odour. The tongue become purple blue and prehension,
•mastication and swallowing become difficult. Diarrhoea and
•lysentery may occur. The appearance of a dark red to purple
• b a n d in the skin just above the coronet due to coronitis is an
•important diagnostic sign.

f Treatment:

At present there is no perfect and complete treatment. In

allopathy it is possible to control by vaccination. But due to its
I nonavailability and high price, it is not accessible to many
I farmers. By employing homoeopathic medicines, however, the
disease can be cured. Following medicines are recommended.

1. A c o n i t u m 3 0 : The drug is useful in the early stages

of the disease when fever is prominent.

D o s e : One dose half hourly five to six times.

2. N a t r u m mur 3 0 : This drug is indicated immediately after

Aconitum when there is persistent salivation.

D o s e : A dose at hourly interval, in all five doses.

3. A r s e n i c alb 3 0 : This is a good remedy to cure all types

of cases. This also provides prevention when given before the
onset of the disease. It is preferred when the tongue becomor,
blue to purple with swelling and blood-stained salivation.

D o s e : A dose three times a day for three days.

4. M e r c u r i u s solubilis 30: The drug is useful in animal:,

having blisters in the buccal cavity with stringy discharges.

Dose: One dose at half hour interval 5-6 times.

5. M e r c u r i u s corrosivus 200: When there is blood

stained saliva and dysentery.

D o s e : One dose three times daily.

6. Nitric acid 3 0 : If the lesion are at the opening of nose

and mouth, with offensive odour, this drug may be administered.

D o s e : One dose three times daily.

7. B o r a x 30: If the lesion in the mouth bleeds even by

slight touch, this medicine is indicated.

D o s e : Three doses three times a day for at least three

days.

8. R h u s t o x i c o d e n d r o n 3 0 : This drug is helpful to reduce

inflammation of coronet of the hoof and lameness.

D o s e : One dos6 three times daily.

9. C a l e n d u l a lotion: This lotion is indicated to dress the

wounds of the hooves.

Practitioners who are new to homoeopathy and find

classifying the symptoms difficult, combined treatment can also
be tried without fear of complication.

D o s e : One dose four times daily for five to seven days.

 I have experienced that combination of the above remedies
a single dose per day for 3 days renders immunity to other
limals from the disease. Even if such animals suffer from the
^ase, it is very mild in form which passes off without
i.impering the health of the animal. Accessory measures like
< li anliness of shed, control of vectors like mosquitoes, and stall-
t i d i n g the animal during the outbreak should also be practised.

(C) COW POX

Cow pox is a vesicular and pustular disease characterized

by eruption on the skin of the teat and udder. It is caused by
a filterable virus which is easily transmitted from animal to animal.
Incubation period of the disease is from 5 to 10 days. Symptoms
•-tart with transient fever. The lesions start erupting at the base
Of the teat and spread over much of the udder surface. The
rupture and coalescence of the vesicles leads to weeping and
extensive sloughing of the skin. In most severe cases, entire teat
is swollen and painful, the skin turns bluish, exudes serum. The
lesions later on sloughs leaving a raw ulcer covering most of
the teat. The papular stage lasts for about two days. Then the
vesicular stage appears on about third or fourth day. On about
eighth day, the lesions become pustular followed by the formation
of scab and healing.

Treatment:

Following remedies will cut short the infective process and

prevent secondary infections of the pustules which frequently
occurs if the condition is allowed to run its normal course.

1 . V a r i o l i n u m or V a c c i n i n u m 2 0 0 : The drug is found

useful in prevention and treatment of the disease when given
singly or in combination.
 2. A n t i m o n i u m c r u d u m 30: When papular or vesicular
dry skin lesions are associated with congestion, this remedy l i
found useful.

Dose: One dose three times daily for 3 days.

3. Kali b i c h r o m i c u m 2 0 0 : The pustule assumes greater

size in discrete form with yellowish base and discharge.

Dose: One dose twice daily for five days.

4. C u p r u m a c e t i c u m 6: It is a good remedy when pox-

like eruptions are accompanied by cramps and spasms of group
of muscles. In such cases diarrhoea may also be present.

Dose: One dose three times daily for three days.

5. R a n u n c u l u s b u l b o s u s 6: This is a useful remedy when

vesicular stage is prominent on the udder.

Dose: One dose three times daily for five days.

Prevention: To control the disease on herd basis, a dose of

Variolinum 30 may be given to all cows which may be repeated
at monthly interval for three months.

(D) EPHEMERAL FEVER

Ephemeral fever is an infectious disease of cattle

characterised by inflammation of mesodermal tissue as
evidenced by muscular shivering, stiffness, lameness and
enlargement of the peripheral lymph nodes. The disease is
caused by a virus which is transmitted by the insect vector,
sandfly. Fatty cows and bulls are worst affected. In maximum
cases, the disease is in an acute form. The disease usually has
a sudden onset of fever 105°F to 106°F. Anorexia and sharp
fall in milk yield are the common earlier signs. There is severe
constipation in some animals and diarrhoea in others.
Respiratory and cardiac rates are increased and stringy nasal
 watery ocular discharges are evident. Animal exhibits the
ns of muscle shivering and weakness. There may be swelling
und shoulders, neck and back. Muscular signs become more
ident on the second day with severe stiffness, clonic muscle
ovoment and weakness in one or more limbs. About the third
day, the animal begins to eat and ruminate and febrile reaction
iubsides, but lameness and weakness may continue for further
two to three days. This disease is also known as dengue fever
i three days' sickness, due to its three-day course.

Treatment:
1. A c o n i t u m 30: In the early stage of fever this drug may
be given.

D o s e : One dose every half hour, in all four doses.

increased with involvement of pleura and pericardium, this drug
is indicated.

D o s e : One dose every three hours, total four doses.

4. N u x v o m i c a 1 M : This remedy is indicated when

digestive disorders such as, anorexia and lack of rumination are
present.

D o s e : One dose per day for seven days.

5. S t r y c h n i n u m 6: It controls muscular twitching and

shivering.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for at least three days.

 6. C u p r u m metallicum 2 0 0 : This drug is beneficial f
muscular cramps and clonic muscle movements. It is also di
of choice in canine distemper, ranikhet, and fowl pox.

Dose: One dose a day for 5 days.

PROTOZOAL DISEASES

(A) A N A P L A S M O S I S

Anaplasmosis of cattle, sheep and goat is infection wilh

Anaplasma species and is characterized by severe debility,
emaciation, anaemia and jaundice.

Aetiology: Anaplasma marginale is the causative agent

in cattle whereas A. ovis is recorded in sheep and goats. Thin
protozoa appears in the red blood cells of the host animal. Tho
insect vector, ticks, transmits the disease from affected to
susceptible animal by biting.

S y m p t o m s : In cattle the incubation period varies with the

amount of infected material injected, usually around three to four
weeks or more in the tick-borne infection. Most animals,
especially the young ones, suffer from subacute illness. Initially
the rectal temperature is raised to about 105°F. It may remain
consistently high or may fluctuate. Fever is followed by
depression, anorexia and inappetance and fall in milk yield.
Jaundice is also a prominent feature with discoloration of the
eyes, the teats and the udder. The heart rate is increased. In
late stage emaciation and dehydration are evident. Pregnant
cows generally abort. Bulls after recovering from the illness
temporarily become infertile.

Treatment:

1 . Trinitrotoluene 3 0 : This remedy covers many

symptoms of the disease, from anaemia to increased heart rate.
 Dose: One dose every three hours for 4 doses, followed
one dose daily for five days.

2. C r o t a l u s horridus 1 M , 1 0 M : In acute conditions. Its

inn on liver is most prominent.

Dose: One dose every two hours for four doses.

3. P h o s p h o r u s 1M: It acts on liver preventing destruction

the cells. It is useful in the convalescent stage when appetite
restored.

D o s e : One dose per day for seven days.

4. China 3 0 : It helps to restore strength in the

nvalescing animals.

D o s e : One dose twice daily for 10 days.

5. P h y t o l a c c a 30: It restores normal function in infertility.

D o s e : One dose per day for two weeks.

(B) BABESIOSIS (REDWATER FEVER)

Babesiosis is a disease caused by Babesia species

protozoan parasite which is characterized by fever and
intravascular haemolysis causing anaemia, and haemoglobinuria.
I he infection is transmitted by blood-sucking ticks.

S y m p t o m s : The incubation period is two to three weeks.

Subclinical cases may occur fairly common. In acute cases, onset
of high fever (106°F), anorexia, depression, weakness, cessation
of rumination and fall in milk yield are common signs. Respiratory
rate and heart rates are increased. Conjunctivae and mucous
membranes are initially deep red but soon become pale and
anaemic. In the terminal stage, there is severe jaundice and the
urine is dark red to brown in colour which produce very stable
froth. Many severely affected animals die within 24 hours. Those
who survive may get high temperature for about a week.
Pregnant animals may abort. The recovery period in affected
animals is very prolonged. Generally crossbred calves die
immediately.

Treatment:

There are standard injections available to cure the disease,

viz, Berenil, Babesan, etc. Homoeopathic treatment will help to
supplement the above injections.

1 . C h i n a officinalis 6: It restores strength after loss of

blood.

Dose: One dose three times daily for five days.

2. Ficus religiosa 6: It is a good antihaemorrhagic drug,

especially when the respiratory symptoms are predominant.

Dose: One dose three times daily for one week.

3. Millefolium 3 0 : When blood loss is severe, this drug

brings about compensation.

Dose: One dose three times daily for five days.

4. P h o s p h o r u s 1 M : When jaundice is present during the

course of the disease, this drug is useful. It also controls
haemorrhage.

Dose: One dose twice daily for one week.

5. Crotalus horridus 2 0 0 : It prevents further haemolysis

of red cells and also helps to cure jaundice and stop
haemorrhage.

Dose: One dose every three hours, total four doses.

6. Cantharis 3 0 : This drug is given if there is straining

and the defecation is accompanied with pain.
 Dose: One dose five times a day.

7. Aconite 3 0 + I p e c a c u a n h a 3 0 : I was able to cure few

cases with this combination.

8. Pulsatilla 3 0 : Dark urine with thick sediments.

Dose: One dose four times daily for two or three days.

9. Belladonna 3 0 : If the urine is yellowish red in colour

and the animal stamps with the hind feet after urination as if
in pain, this drug is beneficial.

Dose: A dose three times daily.

(C) T O X O P L A S M O S I S
Toxoplasmosis is a contagious disease of all species,
including man. Clinically it is manifested by abortions and still-
birth in ewes. In other animal species this protozoan infection
may produce encephalitis, pneumonia and neonatal mortality.
Causative organism is Toxoplasma gondii. The common method
of spread in ruminants is ingestion of contaminated feed
containing infective oocysts.

S y m p t o m s : In sheep recognised symptom is abortion. In

cattle, the disease runs an acute course with fever, dyspnoea
and nervous signs including ataxia and hypersusceptibility in
early stages. In chronic form the disease is manifested by
extreme lethargy, stillbirth or weak calves which die soon after
the birth. Calves, infected congenitally, may show fever,
dyspnoea, coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, clonic convul-
sions, grinding of the teeth and tremor of the head and the neck.
Death occurs in the course of two to six days.

Treatment:

1. A c o n i t u m 1 2 : In early stages of fever this drug may

be administered.
 D o s e : Four doses at half hourly intervals may abort the
disease.

2. Lathyrus sativus 200: It controls nervous symptoms

such as ataxia and paralytic tendency.

D o s e : One dose three times daily for two days followed

by one daily for three days.

3. C u p r u m 1 M : It is useful when muscular cramps and

rigidity are the major signs.

D o s e : One dose daily for one week.

4. S t r a m o n i u m 30: It is a good remedy for nervous signs

such as muscular twitching of isolated muscles, and convulsions.

Dose: One dose twice daily for one week.

5. B e l l a d o n n a : In convulsions with hyper-excitability give

a dose every half hour for four doses.

6. C o n i u m : This medicine is indicated when the sick

animals show incoordinated movement of the hindlimbs which,
later on may extend to the forelimbs.

D o s e : One dose thrice daily for one week.

7. P h o s p h o r u s 1 M : This drug is useful when respiratory

changes or pneumonia is present.

D o s e : One dose every hour for four doses.

8. S t r y c h n i n u m 2 0 0 : If chorea is a pronounced symptom,

this drug is highly indicated.

D o s e : One dose twice daily for one week.

FEVER AND HYPERTHERMIA

(HEAT PROSTRATION)

FEVER

When the temperature rises above normal it is called fever.

It usually indicates that the body's defence mechanism is active
because of an infection of some kind. Other causes are
unhealthy conditions generally indicating a reaction of the system
against disease. It may be excited by exposure to cold, sudden
transition from cold to heat and vice versa; injuries to any part
of the body.

Fever is usually accompanied by loss of appetite, dullness,

shivering and moving about in a sluggish manner. Increased
rate of breathing or panting soon follows and there is often great
thirst and dehydration.

Any sign of fever in animal may be the first indication of

an infectious disease and I would advise in such cases to consult
a veterinary surgeon. Homoeopathic treatment may be inducted
in conjugation with any antibiotics prescribed by the vet.

Treatment:

1 . A c o n i t e 3 0 : High fever, restlessness, great thirst for

large quantities of water. It should be given only in early stages.
 2. Belladonna 3 0 : High fever, no thirst. Fine results are
found in fever due to mastitis in animals. Udder swollen, red.

3. Arsenic alb 3 0 : Fever with restlessness, thirst for small

quantities of water at short intervals. Indicated in fever of H.S.,
F.M.D., blue tongue, anthrax, small pox, etc.

4. Bryonia alb 3 0 : Fever accompanied with dry cough

with pain all over the body, particularly in bronchitis, pneumonia,
pleuropneumonia, mastitis and panting.

5. Hepar s u l p h 3 0 : Useful in dengue fever, and when

swelling is red and cannot tolerate touch.

6. Sulphur (|>: 3 to 10 drops every four hours to be given

if no results from Aconite are found even after 24 hours.

7. Rhus tox 3 0 : Good results are seen when fever is

due to black quarter disease or dengue fever.

8. Mercurius 3 0 : Useful in fever due to H.S., F.M.D., or

blue tongue disease.

HYPERTHERMIA

Hyperthermia is elevation of body temperature due to

excessive heat production or absorption, or too deficient heat loss
when the causes of these abnormalities are purely physical.
There are two types of heat attack which may affect cattle.

1. Sunstroke: Sunstroke is produced by direct sunrays

on animals, especially dairy or fine-skinned animals. Direct rays
of sun on the head may produce dilation of cerebral blood vessels
which in severe cases can cause paralysis.

S y m p t o m s : Excitement and restlessness are early signs

and in the less acute cases paralysis of certain muscles takes
place, leading to failure of the respiratory centre.
FEVER AND HYPERTHERMIA 201

Treatment:

1. A c o n i t u m napellus 3 0 : It immediately helps to reduce

excitement and make the animal calm.

Dose: A dose every half hour for 4 doses.

2. Belladonna 3 0 : It has very fine effect for cerebral

congestion, when there is visible throbbing of surface vessels,
with excitement and dilated pupils.

Dose: A dose every half hour for 4 doses or may be given

in alternation with Aconitum.

3. G l o n o i n e 3 0 : It is a very good remedy in sunstroke

when the patient exhibits signs of head, i.e., throwing the head
against any convenient object or banging it on the ground.
Recumbancy is usual with unsteadiness of movement.

Dose: One every hour for 4 doses.

2. Heatstroke or heat e x h a u s t i o n : It is body heat raised

due to long exposure of body to high environmental temperature.
This condition is made worse by severe exercise. Factors which
may influence this condition apart from heat are lack of proper
oxygenation, fatigue and insufficient intake of water, together with
merciless handling during prolonged hot weather. Other causes
are damage to hypothalamus, dehydration, excessive muscular
activity and administration of tranquillizing drug to sheep in hot
weather.

S y m p t o m s : Rapid respiration, depression and anorexia.

The mouth is usually open where frothy mucus accumulates.
Pulse rate is rapid and extremely high temperature is constant.
The conjunctivae become congested and motor reflexes are lost.
Treatment:

1 . G l o n o i n e 3 0 , 2 0 0 : A dose every hour for five doses.

2. N a t r u m muriaticum 2 0 0 : It stablizes the salt
metabolism and prevents its loss.

D o s e : One every three hours for four doses.

3. Sulphur 3 0 : It is given to reduce the effect of heat,

enabling the animals to make quicker recovery.

Dose: One dose every two hours for four doses.

4. Mixture of KP 3x and N M 3 x gives good results.

Application of cold water will reduce the heat and help

above remedies to act quickly so that early cure is possible.

Apart from above treatment intravenous administration of

fluid, either normal saline or 5% dextrose, is indicated. Cold
applications, including immersion, spraying, rectal enemas or cold
packs are also effective. Supportive treatment includes provision
of adequate glucose and protein to compensate for increased
utilization and in some cases deficient intake, Shelter alone is
the most important factor in maintaining the comfort of livestock.

The above treatment and precautions taken along with

homoeopathic remedies increase survival chance significantly.

HOMOEOPATHIC AND BlOCHEMIC

COMBINATION FORMULAS

My 27 years' experience has enabled me to P ^pare some

r

formulas which have cured thousands of W a l s . These

medicines are cheap, easy to administer and without any side-
effects. Some of the formulas have been registered by Shri
Laxmi Homoeo Medicines, Nanded-2 for sale un^er licence
AD/H/001/ issued by Govt of Maharashtra pod j drug
a n (

administration for the benefit of animals. Author revived many

letters from farmers and veterinary doctors regaling their good
effects. They have cured some apparently incurably diseases,
e.g, sequelae of foot and mouth disease, °Vvner's cow
D

syndrome etc. These formulas can be had if* a^y homoeo

medical stores. I beg the readers to send their firfiing f further
s or

improvement of the formulas.

FORMULA - I
This formula is prepared for the treatment Of agalactia,
holding of milk, poor letting down and in normal animals to
increase the milk production. It is non-hormonal, A t o x i c , does
not disturb normal oestus cycle and fertility index
 C o n t e n t s : Calcarea phos 3 0 + Ridinus communis 3 0 +
Urtica urens 3 0 + Ferrum phos 3 0 + Kali phos 3 0 + Natrum
phos 3 0 + Magnesia phos 30.

This formula is patented under the name Dudhganga.

It cures agalactia. In normal milking animals it increases

the quantity of milk by 1 0 % to 2 0 % without hampering any
physiological condition of the body.

A fine^galactopoietic, lactation is stimulated within 3 to 5

days of administration of the medicine and improvement in the
quality and quantity of milk is observed in 7 days.

D o s e : 5 globules of 6 0 mm size twice daily for 7 to 1 0

days with feed or placed on the tongue, and then as a
maintenance dose 2 globules twice weekly.

F O R M U L A - II

This formula is prepared for the treatment of infertility,

repeat breeding, uterine diseases and to induce and regulate
ovulatory oestrous cycle.

C o n t e n t s : Aletris farinosa 3 0 + Aurum muriaticum

natronatum 3 0 + Calcarea phos 3 0 + Pulsatilla 3 0 + Phosphorus
3 0 + Sepia 30.

The above formula is registered under the name

Vandhatyahari.

It normalises functions of ovary, uterine axis and induces

and regulates ovulatory oestrus cycle. It checks early embryonic
mortality, controls uterine infection; cures vaginitis, endometritis,
salpingitis, cervicitis and ovaritis. Brings the animals into
pronounced ovulatory heat. It also controls abortion, habitual
prolapse of uterus, repeat breeding and increases conception
rate by normalizing uterine and ovarian function. It cures calcium
and phosphorus deficiency, abnormalities of genitalia. There is
no danger of hyperstimulation of ovaries or cystic ovarian
degeneration as seen with hormonal preparations. It does not
affect mammary function in high lactating animals.

Dose: 2 disks of 3 grain size twice daily for 25 days.

In habitual abortion cases, after 25 days twice in a week.

In complications of retainsion of placenta 5 disks twice daily

for 10 days and then twice weekly.

F O R M U L A - III
This formula is unique for the diseases said to be incurable
by available conventional method of treatment, prognosis of
which is said to be grave, such as Downer's cow syndrome
(DCS)—a condition occurring in cows and buffaloes usually
following postparturient hypocalcaemia, rarely in pregnant
animals, characterized by prolonged recumbancy. When
hypophosphataemia and hypocalcaemia do not respond to
phosphorus and calcium therapy. Fatty cow syndrome, vitamin
E and selenium deficiency, excessive protein intake, and trauma
to the sciatic nerve at the time of parturition have been proposed
under this syndrome. Even to correct treatment, according to
aetiological cause, very few cases respond. Such cases are
successfully treated by this formula which is divided into two
parts. In this formula doses are administered in sotutions.

Rhus toxicodendron 30 part I

Pulsatilla 30

Bryonia 30
part I
Nux vomica 30

with quick results. 5 drops of part I mixed with 1 ounce of tap
water was given five times at the interval of 4 hours. After a
gap of 12 hours part II was given in the same manner. 12 hours
after administration of part II animal stood up and started walking.

F O R M U L A - IV

S y m p t o m s : Panting, stringy saliva at hot weather and

after stress, reluctant to walk in hot weather and tendency to
stand or sit in the shadow of tree or cold place. Excess hair
growth with rough skin coat. Wasting of body condition.
Reduction in milk yield. Infertility and repeat breeding. Frequent
abortions and retention of placenta is common. Lactation period
is reduced. Hampered growth in growing animals. The formula

TWELVE TISSUE REMEDIES

Schussler's biochemic therapeutics is based on the

physiological factor that both structure and vitality of the organs
of the body are dependent on certain quantities and proper
apportionment of its organic constituents. The inorganic
constituents are, in a very real sense, the material basis of the
organs and tissues of the body, and are absolutely essential to
their integrity of structure and functional activity. According to
Schussler's theory, any disturbance in the molecular motion of
the cell salts in living tissues caused by a deficiency of requisite
amount constitutes a disease, which can be rectified and the
equilibrium reestablished by administering the same mineral salts
in small quantities. This is supported by well known facts and
laws in physiological chemistry and allied sciences. The
maintenance of stable metabolism within the cell is due to
presence of twelve biochemic salts in the fluids which surrounds
the cell in proper ratio. It is thus a protective process.

CONSTITUENTS OF THE ANIMAL ORGANISM

1. B l o o d : Consists of water, fat, sugar, albumin, protein,

chloride of sodium, potassium, fluoride of lime, silica, iron,
magnesia, soda and potash combined with phosphoric, carbonic
and sulphuric acid.
 2. Blood p l a s m a : Sodium salts are predominantly present.

3. Blood corpuscles: Potassium salts are predominant

whereas sulphur, carbon, are found in albumin, and carbohy-
drates like sugar, starch, phosphorus are contained within the
nucleus, and lecithin.

4. Nerve cells: These cells consist of magnesia phos, kali

phos, natrum phos, ferrum phos and calcarea phos in small
quantities.

5. Muscle cells: The constitution of the cells is as above,

in addition kali mur is also present.

6. C o n n e c t i v e tissue cells: Silica and calcarea phos are

present in small quantities.

7. Elastic tissue cells: Calcarea fluor.

8. B o n e cells: Calcarea phos, magnesia phos, calcarea

fluor.

9. Cartilage a n d m u c o u s cells: Natrum mur.

10. Solid a n d fluid part of t h e body: Natrum mur.

1 1 . Hair a n d crystalline lens: In addition to the inorganic
substances ferrum phos is also present.

HEALTH A N D DISEASE

Disease is an altered state of the cell and hence the normal

state of the cell constitutes health. Health may be considered
as a state characterised by normal cell metamorphosis and the
disease is the result of a disturbance of the molecular motion
of one of the inorganic tissue salts. The cure is based on
restoration of the equilibrium of the molecular motion by furnishing
a minimal dose of the same inorganic substance, since the
molecules of the material thus used as remedy fill the gap in
the chain of molecules of the affected cells or tissue salt. For
example, a child suffering from rickets show lack of lime
phosphate in the bones due to the disturbed motion of the
molecules of this salt. To correct this, it is advisable to administer
small doses of the same salt. The biochemical therapeutics aids
nature in its efforts to cure by supplying the natural remedies
lacking in certain parts, for example, the inorganic cell salts, and
in this way corrects abnormal states of physiological chemistry.
The aim of biochemistry is to cover the deficiency directly. All
other methods of cure reach this goal indirectly, when they make
use of remedial agents heterogenous to the constituents of the
human organism. Biochemical remedies are administered in
minimal doses corresponding to the minuteness of the cellular
salts in the tissue. The use of small doses in biochemical
treatment is a chemico-physiological necessity. Every biochem-
ical remedy must be sufficiently diluted to avoid any functional
destruction of the healthy cells, and to restore disturbed function.
The administered molecules may penetrate the epithelium of the
mouth, pharynx, oesophagus and reach the blood through the
capillary walls.

PREPARATION AND DOSE

Biochemical medicines are prepared like homoeopathic

remedies according to the decimal scale in triturated form. The
crude or chemically pure material is taken and triturated with
sugar of milk (1:9) for at least two hours. This gives the first
decimal trituration. One part of this first decimal trituration is then
diluted with nine parts of lactose, this gives second decimal
trituration and is equivalent to the first centesimal trituration. In
this dilution each grain consists of one hundredth of the trituraed
cell salt. This trituration and subdividing process can be carried
out up to the sixth, twelfth and even higher preparations.
 In acute diseases a dose consisting of tablet size of a pea
should be given every hour or two whereas in chronic diseases
the administration may be advised for three or four times daily.
The tablet may be placed on the tongue or dissolved in a spoonful
of water. The trituration is moulded into tablets usually of one
grain each; the dose being one or three tablets placed on the
tongue or dissolved in water.

Frequency of d o s e s : In acute cases, a dose every hour

or two; in severe, painful affections, a dose every ten, fifteen
minutes or in chronic affections one or four doses daily are
usually sufficient. In determining the dose of a biochemic remedy
the amount of morbid product involved is not very important
factor, for example, a moderate deficiency of sodium chloride in
the cells of the epithelial layer of the serous sac may give rise
to a massive serous exudation; and the supply of natrum mur
corresponding to the deficiency may bring about a complete
resorption of the exudation.

MATERIA MEDICA O F T H E T W E L V E TISSUE REMEDIES

1. CALCAREA FLUORICA
(Calcium fluoride or fluoride of lime)

It occurs in nature as mineral fluorspar. It is practically

insoluble in water, but is decomposed by sulphuric acid
generating hydrofluoric acid.

Physiological a n d c h e m i c a l data: It is found on the

surface of bones and enamel of teeth, and is also a constituent
of the elastic fibres and epidermis, skin, connective tissue and
vesicular walls. A disturbance in the equilibrium of the molecules
of calcarea fluor causes continued dilatation or chronic relaxation
of the implicated fibres of the elastic tissues due to which there
is impaired absorption of solid exudate resulting in induration of
the affected part. If elastic fibres of the blood vessels are affected
the syndrome is exhibited in various forms, such as, enlargement
of blood vessels which appear like haemorrhoidal tumours,
varicose veins, vascular tumours, indurated glands, postpartum
haemorrhage, uterine displacement, weak abdominal walls hence
hanging belly, and haemorrhage from womb. Loss of calcarea
fluorica in the system is thus followed by

1) A hard exudation on the surface of bone.

2) A relaxation of the elastic fibres, hence dilatation of

vessels, relaxation and displacement of the uterus, relaxation of
abdominal wall, hence "hanging belly,' haemorrhages from
womb, which are not accompanied with pain.

3) Exfoliation of keratin from the cells of the epidermis.

Elastic fibres near the induration lose their functional ability

on account of the pressure. Molecules of calcarea fluor
administered restore their functional integrity and thus the
exudate is reabsorbed by the lymphatic vessels.

The drug is beneficial in all ailments which can be traced

to the relaxation of any of the elastic fibres, which include dilation
of the blood vessels, arterial and venous blood tumours, piles,
varicose, enlarged veins, indurated glands, malnutrition of bones
especially of teeth, exostosis after injuries, pendulous abdomen,
uterine displacement, etc. It is an excellent aid to easy childbirth.
Knots and tumours in the female breast, dropsy caused by heart
diseases, osseous growth especially in tarsal and carpal
articulations are influenced by this remedy. The higher potencies
of this drug give best results, especially in affections of the bones.
Schussler recommended the 12th decimal trituration but 3x and
6x have also been found efficient.
 2. CALCAREA PHOSPHORICA
(Calcium p h o s p h a t e , p h o s p h a t e of lime)

It is prepared by dropping dilute phosphoric acid into lime

water until a white precipitate is formed. This is washed with
distilled water and dried on waterbath. It is insoluble in water
or alcohol but soluble in nitric acid and other acids.

Physiological a n d chemical data: Calcarea phos is

essential for the proper growth and nutrition of the body. This
salt is found in the blood plasma, corpuscles, saliva, gastric juice,
bones, connective tissue, teeth, milk etc. It gives solidity to the
bones. Cal. phos has a special chemical affinity for albumin,
which forms the organic basis for this salt in the tissue cells and
is required wherever albumin or albuminous substances are
found in the secretions. It also supplies new blood cells, so that
it is the first remedy in anaemia and chlorosis. It is also of
importance to soft and growing tissue, promoting cell growth, and
is necessary to initiate growth. It is a nutritive salt for the
periosteum and bones. It is also important for blood, without this
there is no coagulation.

Calcarea phos is curative in a number of diseases which

are due to disturbed action of the lime molecules in the body,
such as in callus formation around the ends of fractured bones;
in the unnatural growth and defective nutrition of bone, rickets
and similar diseased conditions. The spectrum of action of this
remedy includes all diseases of bones, blood deficiencies,
dyscrasias and dermoid tissue diseases. When an insufficient
amount of phosphate of lime is assimilated, imperfect cell growth
and consequent decay and destruction of tissues, especially
osseous and glandular tissues occur. It exerts wonderful action
by restoring health after an acute disease. It is very useful in
anaemia and rickets. It is also a proved remedy for gall-stones
and is known to prevent reformation of these stones. In old age,
where the regeneration of nervous tissue is decreased, cal phos
is well indicated. It is useful in senile cutaneous and vaginal
itching, as well as during convalescence from acute diseases.
It is useful during dentition. However, it should not be given
for too long, but should be administered intermittently. Mixture
of CP 3x, KP 3x and NM 3x is excellent for preventing heart
failure. In anaemia of young, rapidly growing calves, cows and
buffaloes, emaciated due to heavy milking and prolonged
suckling by calf, this salt is curative. Pains and spasms caused
by anaemia are also cured by this remedy. 3x to 6x are the
potencies usually employed, achieving most satisfactory results,
although the higher potencies, 30x to 200x, have also given
equally good results. Large doses are useless and may even
be injurious. In aged patients this remedy should not be given
in lower potencies.

3. CALCAREA SULPHURICA
( C a l c i u m sulphate, plaster of paris)

It can be obtained by precipitating a solution of calcium

chloride in dilute sulphuric acid.

Physiologic a n d chemical data: it is present in the bile,

which is synthesized in liver. The salt is also involved in
destruction of aged red blood cells, by taking away their water.
When there is deficiency of calcarea sulph in liver, destruction
of the aged corpuscles is delayed. In health, all the useless
blood corpuscles are disintegrated with the help of calcarea sulph
in liver. The by-products of the destroyed cells are excreted
through biliary circulation. The toxic products which are not
conjugated and excreted by liver or not detoxified by lymphatics,
reach the mucous membranes and skin producing cattarrh and
eruptions.
 General biochemical a c t i o n : Calcarea sulph is closely
related to suppurations. It is curative in oozing types of lesions.
It is also effective in all ailments which are characterized by
continuous discharge for too long and suppuration affecting the
epithelial tissues. The remedy acts upon the connective tissues.
If there is a deficiency of this salt, suppuration is the general
symptom. It cures purulent discharges from the mucous
membranes and purulent exudation in serous sacs as well as
tubercular ulcer or abscess of the intestines and ulcer of cornea,
etc. The remedy can also be tried in boils, cuts, wounds, bruises,
that do not heal readily. If the drug is given after silica, it causes
rapid healing of the abscess. This remedy is also useful when
the symptoms of heat and warmth are aggravated after walking
or washing. The most common potencies are 6x and 12x. Low
potencies are useful in purulent eye discharges. It is often useful
after action of hepar has ceased. Whereas well selected
remedies act only for a short time, calc sulph shares depth with
sulphur, tuberculinum and psorinum.

4. FERRUM PHOSPHORICUM
(Phosphate of iron, ferric phosphate)

It is prepared by mixing sodium phosphate with sulphate

of iron in definite proportions.

Physiochemical data: Iron is found in the haemoglobin

or colour pigment of the red blood corpuscles. Iron of the blood
corpuscles takes up the oxygen from the inspired air which is
carried to every cell throughout the body by means of mutual
reaction of iron and kali sulph. A disturbance of the equilibrium
of the iron molecules in the muscle fibres causes relaxation. This
occurs in the muscular layer of the blood vessels, resulting in
dilatation and accumulation of blood in the blood vessels. This
is called congestion in which the blood pressure may also be
increased rupturing the walls and haemorrhage. If the muscular
wall of the intestinal villi suffer relaxation from the disturbed
equilibrium of iron mulecule, diarrhoea results due to which
peristaltic action of the bowels is weakened and the intestines
are less active. This causes tendency to constipation. In general,
for correcting the relaxation of muscular walls of vessels, ferrum
phos is the remedy of choice. Even in minute doses it restores
the equilibrium of the iron molecules, thus strengthening the
muscular fibres. Since ferrum phos has high affinity for oxygen,
it is a useful remedy in several diseases of blood corpuscles,
such as anaemia, chlorosis and leukaemia.

G e n e r a l action: It is the first remedy in all cases

characterized by relaxation of muscular tissue. The salt is also
a drug of choice in diseases characterized loss of tone of
muscles. Correction in the tone of the smooth muscles results
in restoration of circulation. Its spectrum of action covers all
ailments caused due to hyperaemia or congestion, usually
accompanied with pain, heat, shivering, redness, quickened
pulse, increased circulation, febrile disturbances and early stages
of inflammation, anaemia, etc. The drug is especially effective
in animals which are emaciated, debilitated, dull and listless, loss
of weight and strength. The drug helps to increase the body
development and regulates the bowels. Iron is a biochemic
remedy for

a) The first stage of all inflammation.

b) Pains that are worse by motion and better with cold
application.
c) Haemorrhage caused by hyperaemia.
d) Fresh wounds caused by mechanical injuries.
It is also a useful remedy for inflamed eyes, characterized
by redness with burning sensation. First stage of otitis,
inflammation of throat, first stage of diphtheria, vomition of blood,
haemorrhoids, incontinence of urine due to weakness of the
sphincter, acute febrile or initial stage of all inflammatory
affections of the respiratory tract, loss of voice, articular
rheumatism especially of the shoulder, anaemia, hyperaemia,
preexudative stage of inflammation and epistaxis especially in
children. In anaemia lower potencies are used, i.e. 12x whereas
the 200x potency is useful in catarrh, summer complaints, etc.
Its external application is excellent in sprains, wounds,
haemorrhage, haemorrhoids, etc. It is indicated in congestion of
respiratory organs, even when there is considerable fever. In
debility, loss of strength and vitality in calf, this drug gives
wonderful results.

5. KALI MURIATICUM
(Potassium chloride or chloride of potash)

It may be prepared by neutralizing pure aqueous

hydrochloric acid with pure potassium carbonate or hydrate. It
is soluble in three parts of cold and two parts of boiling water
and is insoluble in strong alcohol.

Physiochemical data: According to Schussler, this salt

stands in chemical relation to fibrin. Disturbances in its molecular
action causes fibrinous exudation. Without presence of this salt
no new brain cell formation would take place. This salt is found
in blood corpuscles, muscles, nerves and brain cell, as well as
in the intercellular fluids. It is closely related to sodium chloride.
If the cells of the epidermis, as a consequence to irritation, lose
kali mur molecules, fibrin in the form of a white or whitish grey
exudation is discharged from the body. This after drying turns
into painful eruptions. If the irritation extends to the tissues,
beneath the epidermis both fibrin and serum will exude, and the
involved part of the skin will be pushed up in the form of blisters.
This is exactly what happens in small pox, cow pox and vaccinia
disease. If kali mur molecules are administered, the reabsorption
of the exudate occurs and the integrity of the affected tissue is
restored. This result is attained probably by the production of
HCI formed by one part of chlorine from KCI with hydrogen. The
HCI dissolves the fibrin in the formative state.

G e n e r a l action: It is useful in diphtheria, dysentery, croup,

fibrinous exudation of interstitial connective tissues, lymphatic
enlargement, inflammation, cutaneous eruptions due to vaccinia
virus, etc. The principle and characteristic symptoms are a white
or greyish coating at the base of the tongue, white or grey
exudation, glandular swelling, expectoration of a thick white
fibrinous phlegm from any mucous surface, flour-like scaling of
the skin, torpor of the liver etc. It is one of the most useful
remedies in the hands of the aurist—chiefly suited to second or
later stages of catarrhal state. It is useful in conjunctivitis, iritis,
trachoma, catarrhal conditions of the middle ear, closed
eustachian tubes, snapping and noises in the ear. It is useful
against threadworms which cause itching at anus, diarrhoea after
fatty food and dysentery with slimy stools. Loss of voice,
hoarseness from cold, white tongue, wheezing rale or rattling
sounds of air passing through thick, tenacious mucus in the
bronchi which is difficult to expectorate. Congestion and
inflammation of any organ or part of the body. It is also the
second remedy in gastric, enteric, or typhoid fever. In puerperal
fever, this remedy can be administered to control the exudation,
and also in rheumatic fever. It is a good adjunct remedy in
abscess, boil, carbuncle, interstitial exudation, acne, erythema,
eczema and other eruptions on the skin with vesicles containing
thick white matter, burns of all degrees, blisters, etc. It is chief
remedy in glandular swelling and follicular infiltrations. 30x
potency in animals are effective chronic and acute cases. Its
external application as dressing is also recommended in burns,
boils, carbuncles, warts etc.
 6. KALI PHOSPHORICUM
(Potassium p h o s p h a t e or p h o s p h a t e of potash)

It is prepared by mixing aqueous phosphoric acid with

sufficient quantity of potash, hydrate or carbonate until the
reaction turns slightly alkaline.

Physiochemical data: Kali phos is a constituent of all

animals fluids, tissue, notably of the brain, nerves, muscles and
blood cells. It is found in all nutritious fluids and is indispensable
to the formation of tissues. Kali phos is an antiseptic and hinders
the decay of tissues, Adenoma and decay are the characteristic
states of kali phos. Phosphate of potash is predominant in serum
of the muscles and chloride of sodium in the circulating blood.
A disturbance of the kali phos molecules causes following
conditions.

General action: Conditions arising from want of nerve

power, such as exhaustion, loss of mental vigour, depression.
It is restorative in muscular debility following acute diseases,
myalgia and wasting of muscular tissue, which are caused due
to impaired innervation and senile atrophy. It is useful in septic
conditions, paralysis of any part of the body, insanity and other
mental troubles, infantile paralysis, neuralgic pains. Kali phos
is also effective in eliminating the side effects of allopathic,
ayurvedic and unani medicines. Alopecia, irritation, itching of skin.
Atrophy, wasting diseases with putrid faeces, gangrenous
conditions and septic haemorrhage. Lower potencies are equally
effective; in animals 30x potency is usually preferred.

7. KALI SULPHURICUM
( P o t a s s i u m sulphate)

It is soluble in ten parts of cold and three parts of boiling

water. It is insoluble in alcohol.
 P h y s i o c h e m i c a l data: According to Schussler, it is the
functional remedy for various epidermal and epithelial affections.
A deficiency of this salt causes a yellow slimy deposit on the
tongue, watery discharge from the mucous surfaces and epithelial
or epidermal desquamation. Kali sulph is found in the cells and in
the intercellular fluids, muscles, nerves, epithelium and in the
corpuscles. It is a carrier of cellular oxygen. It is indicated in
ailments which are characterized by profuse desquamation of
epidermis and yellow mucous discharges. Deficiency of this salt
causes, rise in body temperature at night which starts in the
evening. It helps in utilization of oxygen. The oxygen taken up by
the iron contained in the blood corpuscles is carried to every cell
of the organism by reciprocal action of kali sulph, and iron.
Epidermis and epithelial cells are poorly supplied with oxygen
which then turn desquamated and loose. If oxygen supply to the
affected parts is restored with administration of kali sulph, the
formation of new cells is hastened which promotes desquamation
of the old tissues.
G e n e r a l a c t i o n : The drug acts efficiently in conditions
characterized by yellow greenish secretions and discharges from
eyes, ears, nose, throat, mucous surface and respiratory tract.
Sometimes the remedy itself causes the appearance of eruptions
which might result in early cure of many skin affections. The drug
when administered may also produce excessive perspiration. It
is useful in shifting pains which is worsened in the evening and
better in cool open air. It is also useful in fever, when selected
remedies do not act.
In animals 30x potency gives good results. In chronic cases
lower potencies are useful and in acute cases highest potencies
are useful. In febrile conditions, it must be given frequently. It
is recommended externally in dandruff and diseases of the scalp.
Its nearest analogue appears to be Pulsatilla as both have many
symptoms in common. A chemical analysis of Pulsatilla shows
that among its constituents are kali sulph, kali phos and cal phos.
 8. MAGNESIA PHOSPHORICA
( P h o s p h a t e of magnesium)

It is sparingly soluble in water. It exists in grains of cereals

and can be detected in considerable quantities in beer. It is
made by mixing phosphate of soda with sulphate of magnesia.

Physiochemical data: It is an important constituent of

muscles, nerves, bone, brain, spine, sperm, teeth and blood
corpuscles. Disturbances of its molecular motion causes cramps,
pains and paralysis. As per Schussler the action of mag phos
is the reverse of that of iron (fer phos) in that the deficiency
of mag phos causes contractions whereas the disturbances in
fer phos results in relaxation. Mag phos, therefore, is a remedy
of choice indicated in cramps and convulsions.

General action: Diseases caused due to involvement of

nerve fibre cells or the terminal bulb of the nerves in the muscles
or the muscular tissue itself are cured by this remedy. It is useful
in all pains except the burning pain, especially related to cramps.
It is purely antispasmodic and hence curative in cramps, spasm
of the glottis, tetanus, epilepsy, spasmodic retention of urine. It
is best adapted to lean, thin, emaciated animals. The mag phos
patient is languid, tired, exhausted, unable to sit.

Regurgitation of food, gastralgia, flatulent distension of

stomach, enteralgia, flatulent colic forcing patient to bend and
relieved by rubbing, accompanied with belching which gives no
relief.

In animals 30x potency acts best when given with hot

water. In colic, frequency of doses should be more to get good
results. Kali phos clinically corresponds to paretic affections,
whereas mag phos is effective in spasmodic affections.

Antidote: Bellad, Gelsem, Lachesis.

 9. NATRUM MURIATICUM
(Sodium chloride)

It occurs abundantly in nature. One part by weight of pure

chloride of sodium is dissolved in nine parts by weight of distilled
water. Amount of drug power one tenth.

P h y s i o c h e m i c a l data: The salt remains in certain

proportion with potassium and lime in circulating fluids, the normal
ratio being 100 molecules of sodium, 2.2 molecules of potassium
and 1.5 molecules of lime. Its presence in proper ratio in the
fluid which surrounds the cells helps in maintaining stable
metabolism. It seems that the major factor in maintaining the
cytoplasmic equilibrium is the antagonistic action between lime
salt and sodium and potassium. This salt is a constituent of
every liquid and solid part of the body. The body cells readily
take up sodium chloride and hence this salt is an important
regulator of osmotic tension in organisms and keeps the blood
serum at a uniform specific gravity. This salt has property of
attracting water.

Although a plentiful supply of salt may be offered in the

food, deficiency may still occur because the cells are not able
to take up the particles unless offered in a very dilute form.
Therapeutic application of small doses of natrum mur enables
the cells to resorb water which has accumulated in body cavities
due to disturbances in the function of salt molecules.

Functional disturbance of the tear gland causes lacrimation,

that of salivary gland produces salivation and that of intestinal
mucous membranes causes watery diarrhoea.

It is the cellular concentration of sodium chloride which

regulates the quantity of water entering the blood corpuscles,
thereby preserving the form and consistency.
 This salt is usually excreted through urine, sweat, and
teats. It is found mostly in the fluid parts of the body whereas
kali mur is predominant in formed tissues.

General action: Nat mur has use in chronic ailments

affecting various glands, bowels and skin. It acts upon the blood
and lymphatic systems. The mucous lining of the digestive tract,
liver and spleen. Natrum muriaticum is the regulator of distribution
of fluids, a molecular or dynamized dose of this salt helps in
correcting the fluid balance. If secretion from various parts of
the body increases or decreases, this medicine is indicated. For
example, in excessive or deficient salivation or epiphora. The
salt is excellent for preventing heart failure or removal of
weakness, sudden collapse, sunstroke and heat stroke. Brain
fag which is worse in the morning, cold weather or periodically
may also be due to disturbances of cellular concentration of this
salt. It causes pain in any part of body which is accompanied
by salivation, increased lacrimation, vomition of water or mucus.

Whenever due to any cause cell salts are thrown out of

the blood and the watery fluids of the body are redistributed to
maintain the homeostasis, administration of potentised nitrum
muriaticum helps in fluid regulation.

It is useful in blisters and white spots of cornea, corneal

ulcers with photophobia, conjunctivitis with mucous secretions
and acrid lachrymation. The other symptom is burning pain after
urination.

Natrum mur is a chilly remedy. It is useful in pyrexia. It

is a remedy of second choice in rheumatic fever, intermittent
fever, overdose of quinine. All affections with watery blisters or
vesicles and thin whitish scales, poisoning from insect bites,
anasarca, accumulation of serum in the areolar tissue, dropsy
or puffiness of the tissues, serous or watery exudation and serous
secretions are covered by this remedy.
 Natrum mur regulates moisture exudation from the
circulation, especially when from the arterial system.

In animals 30x to 200x potency are most useful. The

author has achieved remarkable results when administered in
animals suffering from insect bite and nonspecific oedematous
swelling of dewlap or any part of body. Good results have been
achieved when it is combined with Apis mellifica 30.

10. NATRUM PHOSPHORICUM

(Sodium phosphate)

It is prepared by neutralizing orthophosphoric acid with

carbonate of sodium and is also made from bone ash. It is
soluble in two parts of hot and six parts of cold water. Solutions
are slightly alkaline.

Physiochemical data: This salt is found in blood,

muscles, nerve, brain cells and intercellular fluids. This salt is
important in converting lactic acid to carbonic acid and water,
therefore, can rationally be used in conditions where high lactic
acid is produced. It is useful in many cases of jaundice, hepatic
colic, biliary headache and imperfect assimilation of fat due to
lack of bile. It is also useful in gout and acute or chronic articular
rheumatism.

General action: Infants suffering from excess of lactic acid

resulting from overfeeding of milk and sugar. Ailments with
excess of acidity, sour eructations, sour vomiting, greenish,
diarrhoea, painful spasms, and fever with acid symptoms. The
salt also exerts beneficial effects on bones, glands, lungs and
abdominal organs. It is the principal remedy in scrofulous glands.
Small doses of Nitrum phos given subcutaneously is a good
antidote for morphine. It is useful in jaundice, irritation of
intestines by worms and in imperfect assimilation of fats. The
salt acts on the glandular organs of the intestinal tract. The salt
is also efficacious on intestinal tapeworms or threadworms with
characteristic symptoms of acidity or picking of nose, pain in
bowels, restlessness, etc. In animals 30x potency gives good
results.

11. NATRUM SULPHURICUM

(Sodium sulphate)

It occurs rather abundantly in nature, in sea water, saline

springs, Russian salt lakes, etc. It is prepared by the action of
sulphuric acid on common salt and can be purified by
recrystallization. This salt is present only in intercellular fluids.
It aids and regulates the excretion of superfluous water which
arises from the decomposition of lactic acid with phosphate of
sodium, oedema, etc. Disturbances of molecular motion of this
salt prevents the elimination of water produced in the tissues due
to oxidation of organic substances.

The action of nitrum sulph is opposite to that of Natrum

mur although both have the property of attracting water. Natrum
mur attracts water which is to be used by the organism, whereas
Natrum sulph attracts water and eliminates it from the organism
by inducing excretion. Natrum sulph, by stimulating the epithelial
cells of the bile ducts, pancreas and intestinal canal, furthers the
normal secretion of these organs. It also stimulates the nerve
component of these parts.

When due to disturbed molecular motion of Natrum sulph

elimination of superfluous water from the intercellular spaces is
reduced, hydraemia of intestinal glands, liver and pancreas
occurs. Due to disturbances in the concentration of Natrum sulph
the nerves supplying the gall apparatus may be excited or
depressed affecting the secretions.
 General action: The chief characteristic is a dirty greenish
grey or greenish brown coating at the root of the tongue which
may be aggravated after lying on the left side. The condition
is worse in wet weather.

Sulphate of sodium is a haemostatic when used in small

doses, 1-1/2 gr every hour, and hence may be used in severe
capillary haemorrhage of spontaneous or traumatic origin. Its
continued use caused expulsion of tapeworms. It is most
effective in mental troubles arising from injuries to head, chronic
conjunctivitis with granular lids, green pus, severe photophobia;
liver engorgement and gall-stone.

It is also an excellent remedy in spinal meningitis with

drawing back of the neck and spasms in the back. It is useful
in all types of intermittent fevers. In animals 30x to 200x
potencies are effective.

12. SILICEA
(Silicon dioxide)

Prepared by fusing silica and precipitated by hydrochloric

acid.

Physiochemical data: This salt is abundantly found in

vegetables especially in grasses, grains, palms, etc. Its
concentration is, however, less in animal kingdom. It is found
in traces in blood, bile and urine. It is abundant in white of egg
and epidermis, hair, and nails. It is also found in connective
tissue, especially embryonic, and hence its action on the spinal
cord, brain and nerves. Disturbance of the function of the silicea
molecules causes a tumescence of the cells of the connective
tissue.

General action: Silicea acts more on the organic

substances of the body, for example, bones, joints, glands, skin
and mucous surfaces, producing malnutrition. Its action is deep
and long-lasting. It is especially suited to imperfectly nourished
constitutions owing to deficient assimilation.

It is a remedy of choice for ailments attended with pus

formation, and is closely related to all fistulous burrowings.
Wherever pus is formed in an inflamed part of the connective
tissue or skin, silicea may be used. Some deeply seated forms
of septic infection due to vaccine are cured effectively by this
remedy. Silicea ripens the abscess, since it promotes
suppuration. If healing of wound fails by Silicea, Cal sulph may
be used. It is a specific remedy when suppuration has ceased
to be active, but the process lingers and the pus forms chronic
deposits, small or large, fistular or otherwise.

Silicea has also the power to reabsorb blood or

seroalbuminous exudate existing within the tissue by means of
the lymphatics.

Silicea cures chronic gout and related rheumatic affections

by means of its stimulating effects on connective tissue cells,
compelling these to throw off the accumulated urate through the
lymphatics. If the cells of the connective tissue show lack of
silicea molecules atrophy is the consequence. The central and
peripheral nervous systems are definitely affected by silicea,
which is characterized by languor, sleepiness, anxious dreams,
nervous irritability, depression, trembling and paresis.

There is tendency of eruption of boils or pustules on any

part of the body which suppurate easily. Symptoms are always
worse at night and during fullmoon. Amelioration of symptoms
occurs in warm room and summer whereas it gets worse in open
or cold air and in winter.

A d m i n i s t r a t i o n : Schussler recommended the 6x and 12x

potencies. Excellent results are obtained where there is
suppuration. Higher potencies may be used. In chronically ill
animals 30x potency may be used. One dose daily, or even
less afterwards. In subacute cases the dose may be given in
the morning and evening whereas in acute cases the dose may
be repeated every three hourly.

Silicea promotes suppuration and brings the process to

maturity, whereas calcarea sulph heals the process by checking
it and promoting healthy granulation.

The author has cured many cows and buffaloes which were
oversensitive to noise and irritable, kicked while milking and failed
to let down by using Silicea 1M potency twice a day for 10 to
15 days. It is also useful in conditions when the calf is dead
and the animal is not letting down and kicks while milking. It
also cures the vaccination side effects.

HOMOEOPATHIC MATERIA MEDICA

FOR P R A C T I C A L U S E

This chapter contains the characteristic, verified symptoms

of few medicines.

1. ACONITUM NAPELLUS
( M o n k ' s hood)

Most characteristic manifestation of this remedy is the

frightened state, physical/mental restlessness; acute, sudden and
violent invasion. The patient does not want to be touched. The
drug is useful in diseases caused by exposure to dry, cold
weather. It is the first remedy in inflammation, and inflammatory
fevers. Its sphere is in the beginning of an acute disease and
should not be continued after pathological changes have set in.
It can also be given in hyperaemia, congestion, but not after
exudation has set in.

It is useful in inflammation of eyes when lids are swollen,

hard, with photophobia; inflammation of mucous membranes of
nose, causing sneezing, coryza; swollen tonsils; urine is red, hot
and painful. It is not indicated in malarial and low fevers or hectic
and pyaemic conditions and in localized inflammation. Sulphur
is often given as a follow-up drug. Acids, wine, coffee, lemonade
and acid fruits modify its action. It must be repeated frequently
in acute disease. In animals 30th potency is found useful.
Complementary Sulphur may be considered in chronic diseases.

2. ALETRIS FARINOSA
(Stargrass)

It is a special remedy for females having marked

anaemia, relaxed muscles, prolapse of reproductive parts,
leucorrhoea. It offers good effects in habitual abortion, muscular
pain during pregnancy, inflamed uterus. Prolapse with pain in
right inguinal region; endometritis, pyometra and consequent
infertility due to these diseases.

D o s e : 30th potency gives good results and be given twice

daily for 20 to 25 days.

3. ALFALFA
( L u c e r n e or California clover or M e d i c a g o sativa)

This remedy is prepared from lucerne. It contains

potentised lucerne, hence its actions favourably influence
nutrition. It is used for "toning up' the appetite and digestion which
results in improved mental and physical vigour with gain in
weight. Many disorders due to malnutrition can be treated with
this remedy, for example, nervous indigestion, etc. It acts as a
fat producer and corrects tissue waste, deficient lactation and
increases the quality and quantity of milk in nursing mothers. Its
pronounced urinary action suggests its clinical use in diabetes
insipidus and phosphaturia. This remedy is useful for impaired
appetite, flatulence with distension. It can be successfully tried
in non-specific anorexia where other remedies have failed. This
remedy in combination with FP, KP, MP, NP, CP in 30th potency
is a good appetizer and is effective against all types of anorexia.
It is a good growth promoter and in milking animals it results
in increased milk production without hampering normal health of
the animal. It has been successfully used in poultry to increase
egg production in layers. In a trial conducted by the author
administration of this remedy for 15 days showed remarkable
improvement in health of the emaciated birds.

4. AMMONIUM CARB
( C a r b o n a t e of a m m o n i a )

It is useful especially when mucous membranes of the

respiratory organs are affected. The patient is very sensitive
to cold air. There are nasal discharges and the animal cannot
breath through nose. Sometimes blood-tinged mucus may be
discharged from nose. Burning pain in the laryngeo-pharyngeal
region, hoarseness, emphysema, and depressed breathing which
gets worse after exertion are other prominent symptoms. It is
also used in asthmatic pneumonia, slow laboured breathing with
bubbling sound due to accumulation of fluid.

Dose: 30th potency is found useful in animals.

5. AMMONIUM CAUSTICUM
(Hydrate of a m m o n i a , a m m o n i a water)

It is useful in difficult respiration, accumulation of mucus,

incessant coughing, loss of voice, inflammation in throat, spasm
of the glottis with suffocation, and pain in oesophagus on
breathing deeply.

Dose: Third and thirtieth potency, 5 to 10 minims well

diluted in water.
 6. ANTIMONIUM ARSENICOSUM
(Arsenite of antimony)

Emphysema with excessive dyspnoea and cough, mucous

secretions, worse on eating and lying down. Catarrhal
pneumonia associated with influenza, myocarditis and cardiac
weakness. It is also indicated in pleurisy, especially of left side
with exudation and pericardial effusion.

Dose: Third trituration.

7. ANTIMONIUM CRUDUM
(Black s u l p h i d e of antimony)

Excessive irritability and frightfulness together with a

thickly-coated white tongue, are the guiding symptoms to many
forms of diseases amenable to this remedy. All conditions are
aggravated by bathing with cold water. Useful in chronic
blepharitis, pustules on cornea and eyelids, nostrils may be
covered with crusts and eczema of nostrils. It is especially
indicated in loss of appetite, excessive eructations, bloat and
diarrhoea alternates with constipation.

8. ANTIMONIUM TARTARICUM
(Tartar emetic)

Clinically its therapeutic application has been confined

largely to the treatment of respiratory diseases; rattling of mucus
with little expectoration is an excellent guiding symptom.
Antimony tart acts indirectly on the parasites by stimulating the
oxidizing action of the protective substances. It is also a good
remedy for warts on glans penis.

It is indicated in hoarseness with rattling of mucus, which

is not expectorated easily, shallow difficult breathing, coughing
and gasping consecutively, bronchial tubes are full of mucus. It
is also indicated in pustular eruptions which after healing leave
bluish-red warts.

Dose: 30th potency.

9. APIS MELLIFICA
(Bee poison)

It is indicated in symptoms caused by sting, bite, such as

swelling of various parts, stinging, spasms, soreness, intolerance
of heat. Hyperaesthesia characterized by aggravated signs on
slightest touch, erysipelatous inflammation, dropsical effusion,
anasarca, acute inflammation of kidneys and other parenchyma-
tous tissues are characteristic pathological states corresponding
to Apis. Apis acts especially on outer parts of skin coatings,
inner organs and serous membranes. Extreme sensitiveness to
touch and soreness are prominent signs. Sudden puffing up of
the whole body. It has proved of value as an accessory remedy
in the treatment of joint in calves, if given early. Respiratory
conditions exhibited as excess of pulmonary fluid or oedema,
fever, have been treated successfully with this remedy. It has
also been used effectively for treating cystic ovaries in domestic
animals. All ailments of this remedy are aggravated by heat.

10. ARNICA MONTANA

(Leopard's bane)

The mother tincture is prepared from the whole fresh plant.

The remedy produces conditions in the system quite similar to
those resulting from injury, fall, blow, contusion and septic
condition. It is known as the fall herb and is used mainly for
injuries where the skin remains unbroken. Hence the potentiated
medicine prepared from this plant is especially suited to injuries.
In strain, overuse of any organ, this remedy acts as a muscular
tonic. It reduces shock when given in potency and should be
used routinely before and after surgical treatment. In such
situations it will also control bleeding. The drug hastens recovery
of bruised tissues after parturition. It also promotes normal
parturition.

11. ARSENICUM ALBUM

(Arsenic trioxide)

This remedy is prepared by trituration and subsequent

dilution. A profoundly active remedy on every organ and tissue.
Its characteristic symptoms correspond to many types of
diseases. Debility, exhaustion, and restlessness, which are
aggravated in night, are the most important signs. Severe
exhaustion after slightest exertion is a guiding symptom. The
discharges are acid and burning and symptoms are relieved by
heat. It is useful in many skin diseases associated with dryness,
scaliness and itching; colibacillosis and coccidiosis; some forms
of pneumonia when the patient may show a desire for small
quantities of water or unquenchable thirst; gradual loss of weight
due to impaired nutrition, septic infections and low vitality; foot
and mouth disease and to prevent its epidemic, and in sequela
of foot and mouth disease. The author has successfully cured
number of such cases with this drug.

12. ARSENICUM IODATUM

(Iodide of arsenic)

Potencies are prepared from the triturated salt dissolved

in distilled water.
 When discharges are persistently irritating and corrosive,
this remedy may prove more beneficial than Arsenic alb. The
mucous membranes become red, swollen and oedematous,
especially in the respiratory system. This remedy is frequently
employed in treating bronchial and pneumonic conditions which
are at the convalescent stage or in those ailments which have
not responded satisfactorily to other remedies.

13.AURUM MURIATICUM NATRONATUM

( S o d i u m chloroaurate)

It has most pronounced effect on the female organs,

especially uterine tumour, chronic metritis and prolapsus. It cures
indurated cervix, ovarian dropsy, sub-involution. 30th potency
gives good results.

14. BELLADONNA
(Deadly nightshade)

^ - T h e mother tincture is prepared from the whole plant at

flowering stage. Belladonna acts upon every part of the nervous
system, producing active congestion, furious excitement, pervert-
ed special senses, twitching, convulsions and pain. It has a
marked action on the vascular system, skin and glands. One
guiding symptom is the presence of a full, bounding pulse in any
feverish condition which may or may not accompany excitable
states. Actue form of mastitis seen shortly after parturition may
respond well to this remedy, the udder is hot, tense and swollen.
Another guiding symptom is the dilation of pupil. In conditions
such as hypomagnesaemia and violent forms of milk fever, it
prevents damage to the central nervous system.

D o s e : Thirtieth potency and higher, must be repeated

frequently in acute diseases.
 15. BELLIS PERENNIS
(Daisy)

The M.T. is prepared from the whole fresh plant. It acts

upon the muscle fibres of the blood vessels, producing a state
of venous congestion; injuries to the deeper tissues, after major
surgical operation, sprain and bruises. It is given as an adjuvant
remedy along with Arnica. When given postpartum, it will hasten
resolution of bruised tissue and enable the pelvic organs to
recover the tone in a very short time.

16. BENZOICUM ACIDUM

Potencies are prepared from gum benzoin which is

triturated and dissolved in alcohol. The most marked feature of
this remedy relates to the urinary system producing changes in
the colour and odour of the urine, which becomes dark red and
aromatic due to uric acid deposits. It is infrequently used in cattle
practice. It may have a place in the treatment of some kidney
and bladder disorders.

17. BERBERIS VULGARIS

(Barberry)

The mother tincture is prepared from the bark of the root.

The remedy acts on the venous system, producing pelvic
engorgement. Haemorrhoids, pain in the region of kidneys are
most marked, hence it is used in renal diseases, gall-stones,
vesical catarrh and other diseases leading to catarrhal
inflammation of bile duct, kidney and pelvis. Jaundice is
frequently present in such conditions. Haematuria and cystitis
may occur. In all these conditions there is an accompanying
sacral weakness and tenderness over the loins.
 18. BORAX
(Borate of s o d i u m )

Potencies are prepared from trituration of the salt dissolved

in distilled water.

The specific action of this substance is on the epithelium

of the mouth, tongue and buccal mucosa. It is therefore indicated
in conditions such as vesicular stomatitis, foot and mouth
disease, blue tongue, mucosal disease complex, and other non-
specific stomatitis due to disturbed gastrointestinal functions.

19. BRYONIA ALBA

(White bryony, w i l d hop)

The M.T. is prepared from the root before flowering takes

place.

Its main action evolves on epithelial tissues and serous

and synovial membranes. Mucous surfaces are also affected
producing/ah inflammatory response resulting in a fibrinous or
serous( exudate. This in turn leads to dryness of the affected
tissues with later effusions into synovial cavities. Movement of
the part is interfered with and this leads to one of the main
indications for its use—aggravation on movement. In such
diseases the animal prefers to lie still. Pressure over affected
areas relieves symptoms. This remedy is extremely useful in
treating many respiratory diseases, especially pleurisy; in some
forms of mastitis where the udder remains hard after initial
inflammation has subsided; symptoms developed after foot and
mouth disease in which panting is the main symptom; alveolar
emphysema.
 20. CALCAREA CARBONICA
(Carbonate of lime)

Trituration of the salt in alcohol or weak acid produces tho

solution from which potencies are prepared. The crude substanco
is found in the middle layer of the oyster shell. The calcareous
substances produce lack of tone and muscular weakness with
muscle spasms affecting both voluntary and involuntary muscles.
Calcium is excreted quickly from the system and the intake of
calcium salts does not ensure recovery. In such cases the
element prepared in homoeopathic manner is much useful. Calc
carb is a strong constitutional remedy causing inspired nutrition.
Animals which need potentised calcium show a tendency to eat
strange objects. It is of value in the treatment of skeletal disorders
of young animals and in the older animals suffering from
osteomalacia, sessile warts on the teat of heifers. As a
prophylactic remedy, it is used in combination with magnesium
and phosphorus to prevent metabolic conditions, such as milk
fever and hypomagnesaemia.

21. CALENDULA OFFICINALIS

(Marigold)

The mother tincture is prepared from leaves and flowers.

Applied locally to open wounds and indolent ulcers this

remedy will be found to be the most reliable healing agent. It
will rapidly bring about resolution of tissue promoting healthy
granulation and healing by first intention. It is helpful in treating
contused wounds of the eyes and it can be combined with
Hypericum when treating open wounds involving damage to
nerves. Haemostatic after tooth extraction. It helps to make acrid
discharge healthy and fresh. It promotes favourable cicatrization
with least suppuration, slough, proud flesh and raised edges.
Hepar sulph works complementary to Calendula.
 Dose: Locally aqueous solution for all wounds. Internally,
tincture and third potency dilution.

22. CANTHARIS
(Spanish fly)

The M.T. is prepared by trituration of the insect with

subsequent dilutions in alcohol.

This is a valuable remedy in nephritis and cystitis typified

by frequent attempts at urination. The urine contains blood as
a rule. It may be indicated in certain postpartum inflammation
and burning vesicular eczema, and retained placenta with painful
urination. It helps in expelling moles, dead fetuses, membranes
etc. It is effective in treating haemorrhages, intolerable dysuria
and other allied symptoms.

23. CARBO VEGETABILIS

(Vegetable charcoal)

^Potencies are prepared by trituration and subsequent

dilution in alcohol. Disintegration and imperfect oxidation are the
key-notes of this remedy. Various tissues of the body are
influenced by this substance. This is a useful remedy in
collapse. It acts more on the venous than on the arterial
circulation. It could prove useful in some forms of rumen stasis
and bloat resulting from a sluggish portal circulation. The typical
Carbo patient is sluggish, fat and lazy and has a tendency to
chronicity in his complaints.. This remedy is indicated in animals
who have not fully recovered from the effects of some previous
illness.

Trials of combination of this remedy with Mag phos 30 +

Nux vom 30 + Pulsatilla 30 proved most effective in acute and
chronic indigestion, flatulence, anorexia, rumen stasis and colic,
diarrhoea and constipation.

D o s e : Thirtieth potency in stomach disorders and higher

for chronic conditions and collapse.

24. CAULOPHYLLUM
(Blue c o h o s h )

The mother tincture is prepared from trituration of the root

dissolved in alcohol.

This remedy is especially useful in females and increases

the tonicity of the womb. During labour when pains are difficult
and the patient is exhausted and frightful, this drug can be used.
This medicine will relieve labour pains and could be used as
an alternative to pituitary injections once the os is open. It is
useful in ringworm and uterine twist or displacement. In these
cases it should be given frequently, three or four doses at hourly
intervals. In animal which have had previous miscarriages it will
help in establishing a normal pregnancy while after post-partum
it is one of the remedies to be considered for retained debris.

25. CAUSTICUM
(Potassium hydroxide)

This substance is prepared by distillation of a mixture of

equal parts of slaked lime and potassium bisulphate.

It is mainly useful in chronic rheumatism, arthritis and

paralytic affections. It is indicated in severe tearing pains in the
muscular and fibrinous tissue with deformities of the joints. It may
be used in bronchitis of older animals and sessile warts. In these
diseases burning rawness, and soreness are characteristic.
 26.CINCHONA OFFICINALIS - CHINA
(Peruvian bark)

The mother tincture is prepared from the dried bark

dissolved in alcohol.

This remedy should be considered when an animal is

suffering from debility or exhaustion. It is a useful supportive
remedy in the earlier stages of acute diseases.

27. CINERARIA
(Dusty miller)

The mother tincture is prepared from the fresh whole plant.

It has some reputation in treatment of cataract and corneal
opacities, especially in traumatic cases. The active principle is
used mainly as an external application in various eye conditions
and may have a place in the treatment of new forest disease.
The M.T. should be diluted 1:10.

28. COBALTUM
(The metal cobalt)

Both this remedy and cobaltous chloride are used mainly

in the treatment of cobalt deficiency in calves and cows and give
good results over a period of few weeks. The chloride has also
been used successfully in the treatment of acetonaemia in cows
grazing marginal land or on cobalt deficient pasture.
 29. COLOCYNTH
(Bitter c u c u m b e r )

The mother tincture is prepared from the fruit pulp which

contains a glycoside, colocynthis.

The remedy may be used in scour of calves associated

with the characteristic symptom of arching of back and drawing
the hindlegs forward under the abdomen. It is found useful in
spasmodic colic associated with tympany.

30. CONIUM MACULATUM

(Hemlock)

The mother tincture is prepared from fresh plant. It acts

on the glandular system causing engorgement and induration by
altering the structure, for example, scrofulous and cancerous
conditions. This remedy is important in treating paraplegia and
weakness of hindlimbs. Thus, it could be indicated in milk fever
which has not responded satisfactorily to calcium injections.

Author treated many dogs suffering from paraplegia,

especially in older age group, with fantastic results.

It is found good in mastitis having mammae hard and

painful to touch.

31. CROTON TIGLIUM

(Croton oil s e e d )

The M.T. is prepared from oil obtained from the seeds.

It is a valuable remedy in diarrhoea, summer complaints, painful
purging. Some forms of calf scour may be amenable to this
remedy, especially when gurgling sound is evident on
auscultation of the intestines; and urine may be orange coloured.
 32. CUPRUM ACETICUM
(Copper acetate)

Potencies are prepared from a solution in distilled water.

It is mainly used in treatment of copper deficiency in calves, when
accompanied with muscle cramps or stiffness. It has also been
successfully used in the treatment of cow pox as a suppurative
remedy.

33. DULCAMARA
(The bittersweet)

The M.T. is prepared from green stems and leaves before

flowering. This remedy may benefit those conditions which arise
as a result of exposure to wet and cold, especially when damp
evening is followed by a warm day. It is useful in the treatment
of ringworm and large fleshy wart.

34. ECHINACEA
(Purple c o n e flower)

The mother tincture is prepared from the whole plant. It

is called corrector of blood dyscrasia. It is remarkably useful
medicine for acute autoinfection, blood poisoning and septic
conditions; postpartum puerperal conditions where sepsis is
evident, generalised septic states having their origin in insect
bites or stings. Best in low decimal potencies.

35. EUPHRASIA OFFICINALIS

(Eyebright)

The mother tincture is prepared from the whole plant. This

is one of the most useful remedies in the treatment of a variety
of eye conditions, principally conjunctivitis and corneal unlcerations;
watery discharge from the eyes all the time, burning and swelling
of the lids and sticky mucus. Internal treatment should be
supplemented with external as a lotion diluted 1:10.

36. FERRUM IODATUM

(Iodide of iron)

Potencies are prepared from trituration of crystals

subsequently dissolved in alcohol. It is a remedy for iron
deficiency associated with respiratory distress, mucous discharg-
es containing blood. Metallic iron (ferrum metallicum) and chloride
of iron (ferrum muriaticum) are also used in the treatment of iron
deficiency, particularly in calves and young animals.

37. FLUORICUM ACIDUM

(Hydrofluoric acid)

Potencies are prepared by distilling calcium fluoride with

sulphuric acid. It has been used successfully in the treatment
of actinomycosis and ulcerative conditions of the mouth and
throat and necrotic conditions of bone.

38. GELSEMIUM SEMPERVIRENS

(Yellow jasmine)

This has been proved useful in Gumboro disease of poultry

and helpful as a supportive measure in hypomagnesaemia and
helps in restoration of normal movement. Its indications are
weakness, muscle tremors, paralysis of different nerves, e.g.,
radial nerve.
 39. GRAPHITES
(Black lead)

Potencies are prepared from triturations dissolved in

alcohol. This remedy is an antipsoric and effective against many
skin affections. This medicine has an affinity for skin and hooves.
It is useful in loss of hair, white moist eruptions which ooze
sticky discharge and is a favourable site for development of
eczema. The lesions are most common on either bends of joints
or behind the ears.

40. HECLA LAVA

(Lava of Mt Hecla)

Potencies are prepared from trituration of the volcanic ash;

which contains alumina, lime and silica. This medicine is useful
in the treatment of exostoses or tumours of the facial bones,
caries arising from dental diseases, actinomycosis affecting
maxillary and mandibular bones.

41.HEPAR SULPHURIS CALCAREUM

(Impure c a l c i u m sulphide)

The medicine is prepared by burning crude calcium

carbonate wit?) flowers of sulphur. Potencies are then prepared
from the triturated ash. This medicine has a wide range of action,
and is considered mainly in any suppurative process showing
extreme sensitivity to touch indicating acute pain, for example,
acute summer mastitis. Low potencies of this medicine promotes
suppuration while high potencies, i.e. 2 0 0 and upwards, may
abort the purulent process and promote resolution. It is an
effective remedy for infected sinus with pus formation. The
tendency to suppuration is most marked, and has been a strong
guiding symptom in practice. It is useful in corneal ulcers and
in chronic recurrent urticaria.

42. HYPERICUM PERFORATUM

(St. J o h n ' s wort)
The M.T. is prepared from the whole fresh plant. It is a
proved remedy for injuries to nerves, especially fingers, toes,
nails, etc. This medicine is of prime importance in the treatment
of lacerated wounds where nerve endings are damaged in spinal
injuries, especially of the coccygeal nerve. Excessive pain is
a guiding symptom for its use. It relieves pain after operation.
Its specific action on nerves suggests its use in tetanus. If given
early after injury, it helps in preventing the spread of the toxin.
Good results are obtained when used externally for lacerated
wounds along with Calendula in strength of 1:10. It has been
found useful in the treatment of photosensitization and similar
allergens.

43. IODUM
(Iodine)
Potencies are prepared from tincture prepared by
dissolving iodine in alcohol. 1% tincture is the strength used in
preparation. It acts prominently on connective tissues, glandular
structures and respiratory organs. It may be of use in ovarian
dysfunction, when the ovaries appear small and shrunken per
rectal examination. It is also indicated in gland affections and
its specific relation to the thyroid should not be forgotten.
 44. IPECACUANHA
(Ipecac root)

The mother tincture is prepared from the dried root.

Emetine, an alkaloid, is its principal constituent. It is useful in
bright red haemorrhages which are profuse; haemogalactia
(blood in milk after calving); coccidiosis in calves. Some forms
of white scour may also be treated, particularly when there is
tenesmus with greenish stools. The principal feature of
Ipecacuanha is its persistent nausea and vomiting.

45. KALI BICHROMICUM

(Potassium bichromate)

Potencies are prepared from a solution in distilled water.

The special affinity of this drug is for the mucous membrane of

NOSODES AND ORAL VACCINES

A nosode is a disease product potentised, frequently lymph

nodes or respiratory secretions, eg., nasal discharge in a case
of catarrhal fever. In bacterial, viral or protozoal disease the
causative organism may or may not be present and the efficacy
of the nosode in no way depends on the organism being present.
The reaction of the tissue to invasion by bacteria or other
antigens results in the formation of substances which are in effect
the basis of the nosodes.

Oral vaccine is prepared from the actual organism of the

disease and may derive from filtrates containing only the exotoxin
of the bacteria or from emulsions containing both bacteria and
their toxins. These filtrates and emulsions are then potentised
and become oral vaccines. Nowadays it is the custom to brand
the terms nosode and oral vaccine synonymous. Nosodes are
discussed in two forms—autonosode and bowel nosode.

AUTONOSODE:

The nosode prepared from material provided by the patient

alone is known as autonosode, eg., pus from a chronic sinus
or fistula, andt after potentiation it is used for the treatment of
the same patient. These nosodes are usually employed with
striking results in refractory cases where well indicated remedies
have failed to produce the desired response.
 Nosodes can also be used therapeutically either on their
own or with indicated remedies in acute condition. In calf scour
it may be necessary to give the nosode three times a day for
two days or even more frequently during the course of 24 hours.
In chronic condition and in cases of convalescence after
infectious disease, a single dose may suffice. Nosodes and oral
vaccines are used generally in the 30th potency.

BACILLINUM:
(A m a c e r a t i o n of typical t u b e r c u l o u s lung)

It was introduced by Dr Burnett. This nosode is prepared

from tuberculous material and is extremely useful in the treatment
of ringworm and similar skin diseases.

CORYNEBACTERIUM PYOGENES:

This oral vaccine is prepared from the bacteria which is

associated with summer mastitis in the dry cow or from diseased
material and discharges from the udder. It can be used both
prophylactically and therapeutically.

E. C O L I N O S O D E A N D O R A L V A C C I N E :

Prepared from various strains of E. coli. Treatment and

prevention of colibacillosis come within its range and also the
specific form of mastitis associated with E. coli infection.

FOLLICULINUM:

This nosode is prepared from the corpus luteum and is

mainly used in the treatment of various ovarian and allied
conditions.
00PH0R1NUM:
(Ovarian extract)

This is actually a ovarian hormone. It is useful in ovarian

dysfunction, ovarian cyst, and in some forms of skin disorder
thought to be associated with hormone imbalance.

PSORINUM:
(Scabies vesicles)

This is the valuable skin remedy, especially when well

chosen remedies fail to act. The discharges are offensive and
itching is intolerable.

PYROGEN IUM:
(Artificial sepsin)

This nosode is prepared from decomposed lean beaf

allowed to stand in the sun for two weeks and then potentised.
Dr. Swan has prepared it from septic pus. There does not seem
to be any marked difference between their effects.

Pyrogen is the great remedy for septic states, with intense

restlessness. In septic fevers, and septicaemic or toxaemic states
where vital reserves are low. One of the main indications for
its use is illness attended by high temperature. All discharges
and septic states are extremely offensive. It has been also used
in retained afterbirth after abortions.

SALMONELLA NOSODE AND ORAL VACCINE:

Prepared from the common Salmonella organisms asso-

ciated with this disease in calves and used both prophylactically
and therapeutically.
STREPTOCOCCINUM:
( N o s o d e a n d oral vaccine)

Prepared from strains of haemoiytic streptococcus, it is

used in various infections associated with this bacteria. Joint ill
in calves has responded well and it also has a prominent part
to play in the control of mastitis.

SYCOTIC CO:
(Bowel n o s o d e )

This nosode is prepared from the non-lactose fermenting

bacilli found in the large intestine. Sycotic co has been used
successfully in intestinal conditions producing catarrhal inflam-
mation on mucous membranes, e.g., in the treatment of
coccidiosis in calves.

TUBERCULINUM AVIAIRE:

Avian source provides the material for this nosode. It is

useful in the treatment of some forms of pneumonia, especially
in calves, along with indicated remedies. It benefits chronic
conditions of the bacterial diseases.

VACCININUM:
(Vaccine matter)

It is useful in neuralgia, skin eruptions, indigestion with

great flatulent distension and whooping cough.

VARIOLINUM:
( L y m p h f r o m s m a l l - p o x pustule)

It is used for "Internal vaccination". Seems to be efficacious

in protecting against some viral diseases in animals, e.g., cow
pox, fowl pox, Ranikhet. It also cures them.

 INTRODUCTION

As the revolution in health evolves toward a holistic

format, animals, despite our intricate connections, are con-
spicuous in their absence, at least here in Australia. Until now
that is ....

The trend towards holistic Veterinary care is gaining

momentum because, quiet obviously, it works. The formation,
by 30 Vets of the Australian Holistic Vet Association (AWVA)
in January of 1996, to link the growing number of vets practicing
a variety of alternative therapies, indicates that holistic medicine
for animals in Australia, is slowly coming of age.

In response to this move by their members, the Aus-

tralian Veterinary Association (AVA) council met in May 1996,
to develop a policy on alternative animal medicine. The policy
acknowledges the increasingly wide spreading professional
activity of its members in the fields of alternative medicine.
It calls for awareness of these therapies and research into
their "safety, efficacy and mode of action". The policy also
states that "non-traditional therapies should do no harm by
their administration or by any lack of traditional care." Con-
servative and non commital, yes!, but encouraging nonethe-
less.

Overseas, holistic animal care is far more widely

accepted. Entire veterinary clinics devoted to homoeopathy
have operated successfully in the United States for the past
decade. According to Sydney Vet, Dr. Manuela Trueby, who
trained formally in Homoeopathy for animals during her
university veterinary studies in Germany, about one third of
Germany's vet incorporate Homoeopathic remedies into their
practice. Queen Elizabeth allows solely, the use of
Homoeopathy for her beloved corgis and horses.
 Dr Trueby says, the success rate of Homoeopathy with
animals is actually higher than in is with people, as animals
don't have mental and emotional blocks. According to Rajan
Sankaran as animals show little form of compensation, the
selection, and the animals response to, a Homoeopathic
remedy is to a great extent, simplified.

Homoeopathy for animals is actually winning over some

skeptics of Homoeopathy for people. Many of these skeptics
see Homoeopathy's only action being due to the placebo
effect. But as the effects on animals attests, Homoeopathy
is far more than just sub-conscious suggestion. If Homoeopathy's
sole action was due to the placebo effect it wouldn't work so
well on animals. \

The AWVA has submitted a training scheme proposal

to the AVA, to ensure that the therapies being tried are being
done so with some competence. Currently, South Australian
Homoeopathic manufacturer Brauer, offers correspondence
courses for doctors and vets in the use of their products. So
it is on this ground swell of change that it became obvious
that a repertory for animls was needed. The information
available was disease, not symptom orientated which hindered
not aided the average Homoeopath in their remedy selection,
but the information was still there. What was needed was for
the information to be readily accessible in repertory form. That
the information be symptom oriented, as this is the classical
Homoeopathic way and the way in which a majority of
Homoeopaths have been trained. So essentially, the aim of
this repertory is to aid Homoeopaths not vet's in the treatment
of animals, were as other books on this subject are Vet
orientated in the hope that they might use or experiment with
Homoeopathy. Maybe, being an advocate strongly against
vivisection and pharmaceutical experimentation on animals,
the irony of using remedies tested on humans to treat animals,
was inspiration enough.
 H o w t o use t h e R e p e r t o r y

The repertory has been set out in the Kentian format. As

this is the repertory familiar to most Homoeopaths it is, as stated
before, symptoms orientated, although there are some disease
references to be found. The information in the repertory, is
based solely on what has been found to work on animals, and
is an agglomeration of published books, actual case studies,
and my own experimentation.

The advantage of having a symptom based Veterinary

Repertory, becomes evident upon repertorising the symptom
pictures of different species by tjhis I mean different species
suffer from specific symptoms, a cat for example after being de-
sexed will suffer from miliary eczema, where as a dog will suffer
from weight gain, and or incontinence. Thus the symptoms
themselves will indicate the remedy for that species.

The only way in which this repertory differs from the

Kentian format, is in the scaling of the remedies. There is no
Bold, italics or plain print to indicate the prominent remedies
with in a rubric. Why? Because there is no information available
on which remedies work better, on which symptoms, when it
comes to animals. To assume that the same remedies that are
highly graded for humans, should also be for animals, was not
exactly empirical, although this was often the case.

The solution to the scaling of remedies was quiet simple,

by referencing each remedy in each rubric a hierarchy
appeared. The greater the number of references for a specific
remedy within a rubric, the more prominent this remedy is in
treating that symptom. The reference number also gives a
general suggestion as to which type of animals may benefit
from that specific remedy. For example the number five (see
bibliography) next to a remedy indicates it has been used before
in the treatment of poultry, therefore if treating a sick bird it
would be helpful to look for the remedies referenced with a five,
and so on with the other references for other species. Please,
only use this as a guideline as the total symptom picture
overrides any single rubric or referenced remedy.

The information in this repertory is far from complete. But

should provide useful in narrowing the remedies down to a
realistic materia medica study. It is only through actually using
Homoeopathy to treat animals that we qan advance the cause
of Homoeopathy in this field. By increasing our experiential data
base we also increase our success rate in treatment. It is on
this basis that I have set up an international e-mail address on
the Internet, in the hope of collecting actual case studies and
incorporating that information into this repertory. So if you have
any successful case studies please let me know on p a m m a t
@ hkabc.net.

A Q u i c k W o r d of P o s o l o g y

The same directions set out by Samuel Hahnemann in the

"Organon of Medicine" and "Chronic Diseases" in regards to
posology, also apply to the treatment of animals. Common
sense and keen observation being our most valuable tools when
it comes to potency selection, administration of dose, and
repetition of dose.

In the treatment of animals as there are relatively few

mental and emotional blocks, and most disease is manifested
on the physical level, this would suggest that the lower
centesimals (up to 30c) would be of most benefit in treating
animals, but this is not always the case.
 Christopher Day uses the following guidelines. He
suggests that 12c is the watershed between a high potency and
a low potency and recommends the use of 6c or lower in acute
diseases and the use of 30c or higher in chronic diseases.
George Macleod follows a similar method, in which he uses
1

potencies ranging from 6c to 1m. Using the lower potencies for

superficial trauma and the higher potencies in deep acting
trauma.

The decimal scale of potencies has been used by the

older Homoeopathic veterinarians such as J.S. Harndall and J.
Rush, who use the mother tincture diluted in drinking water, up
to 100x and have gained credible results in using this scale.
In regards to the use of fifty millesimals no information could
be found to suggest it has been used in the treatment of
animals, which is not surprising as Hahnemann does state that
this potency scale seems to been specifically adapted to the
human species.

Administration of the dose is simply via the drinking

water, thus giving Homoeopathy an other advantage over
conventional treatment. Repetition of the dose is dictated, as
in humans, by the disease itself, thus in acute rapid on set
frequent doses are needed, which are then stopped in
improvement. Where as chronic slow moving, diseases, require
less frequent doses, also stopping on improvement.

The only rules in animal posology are those set by

precedence, those that we can actually extract from the
experiential data base of those that have hands on knowledge,
when it comes to treating animals with Homoeopathy.
 T h e u s e of N o s o d e s a n d oral v a c c i n e s

A nosode is a disease product prepared from infected

tissue, diseased discharges or causal organisms. These are
potentised and then employed in treatment of the specific
disease, or as is more often the case in a similar symptom
picture to that specific disease. The treatment of a specific
disease by its specific disease product is rightly termed Isopathy,
and is not Homoeopathy in a classical sense. In spite of this
break from orthodoxy it is a valuable tool in the treatment of
animals as they can be used both prophylactically and
therapeutically.

Therapeutic Use: Usually given in the 30c potency and 1

in the same manner as other Homoeopathic remedies.

Prophylactic Use: Also known as oral vaccines and are
employed in the 30c potency , in which one dose is given night
1

and day for three days followed by one per month for six
months . This provides a good level of protection after the first
1

week which is subsequently reinforced over the next few

months. One of the benefits of oral vaccination, apart from its
safety and lack of side effects, is that protection can be provided
safely and effectively at an early age, e.g. a puppy which is
presented for vaccination against distemper and or parvovirus
disease can be protected at 3-4 weeks of age instead of having
to wait for nine weeks, as is the case ^ h e n conventional
injections are given. .
1

Another advantage found with employing the use of

nosodes on animals, is due to the lack of actual provings
conducted on animals. Due to this lack of empirical information,
the selection of the remedy can in some cases be restricted.
When this is the case the appropriate nosode of that specific
disease could prove to be a better prescription than some poorly
indicated remedy.
