VETERINARY QUERIES.
[Answered by a duly qualified Veterinary Surgeon. Queries must be received by SATURDAY night to ensure reply in the succeeding issue.]
Country Joker asks for a- cure for lampas in a horse four years old. AI3O if it is advisable to burn them out, as used to be the cure some years ago before it was prohibited? It is not remarkable that your colt should have lampas, as between three and four yea.is old about sixteen teeth are being cut at . the same time. Give the animal >a desert spoonful of nitre in a mash two or three times a week.. No local remedies are) of much use, and burning is undoubtedly cruelty within the meaning of the act. ' \ J. It. C. writes that he has a cow that has l-.ecome blind. A scum came over one- eye a short time ago, and the cow lost the eight of that eye. The same thing has . now occurred with the other eye. Can you suggest a cure? Yours is a case where it is impossible without a personal examination to say what is the cause of the cow's blindness. You might apply clean, cold vater and put a little weak alum water into the eye onoe a day. Shbpherd.—Before . one .couild say what ia the cause of the ailment from which your lambs die it would be necessary to make a.n examination of the lambs and their surroundings'.
