CHAPTER II.—GENERAL DISEASES IN
ANIMALS.
Treatment of Animals.—The Subordinate staff recorded the treat-
ment of twenty-four thousand one hundred and seventy-six (24,176)
cases of non-contagious diseases during the year as against twenty-three
thousand nine hundred and sixty eight (23,968) during the previous
year.
The treated animals were mostly cattle which were attended
to by Assistants while touring in townships. The object of this work
is principally as a demonstration of Western methods of treatment.
The cases are seldom seen for further treatment but the owners are
provided with medicines and dressing with which to continue the
treatment and may send to Township headquarters for further supplies.
The value of the work is becoming apparent very slowly as there is
considerable apathy in connection with all treatment of disease and
local remedies are difficult to displace.
Veterinary Hospital, Insein.—One thousand five hundred and seventy
three (1,573) new cases were admitted for treatment during the year
and the total daily attendance of animals for treatment was 3,680
during this period.
New cases were made up of.—Horses 47, bovines 289, goats 95,
dogs 1,067 and others 75.
The number of cases brought for treatment continues to decline
and the system by which owners are charged for treatment may require
revision to encourage cases being brought for treatment in the future
The value of this Veterinary Hospital as a training ground for students
undergoing the Assistant's Course is too great to allow the financial
aspect to exercise too much influence on attendance of animals for
treatment.
Twenty (20) in-patients were treated during the year and four
castrations were performed.
