DOG NOTES

losing their puppy or milk teeth
which are in turn replaced by a
permanent set. During this period
of dentation it may become neces-
sary to pull out one of the loose
puppy teeth in order that a per-
manent tooth underneath may
come into place properly. The
eruption OF the permanent teeth 10
displace the milk teeth is a gradu-
al process, but it is at this time
that puppies are prone to con-
vulsions. If your pup seems to be
having trouble, and has a sore or
tender mouth, wash it>out daily
with a solution of bori6 acid or
potassium chlorate-one teaspoon
full to a glass of warm water. In
fact I recommend you give your
get this treatment as a safeguard
even if trouble does not seem to
be present.
AS a dog grows older his teeth
become encrusted with tartar,
which if allowed to remain may
cause recession and soreness OF
the gums. Large bones to chew
on help to prevent tartar from
forming, but despite his bone
gnawing tartar will form and
should be removed by a vet once
a year OR so. When a dog has an
excessive amount of tartar it indi-
Gates that the animal suffers from
indigestion or auto = i~ntoxication,
due. to a faulty diet Or insufficient
exercise. Take your dog, no mat
ter how old he is, to a veterinarian
at least once a year and have his
teeth checked.
DOGS AND HEART TROUBLE
A reader asks if dogs ever suf-
fer from heart trouble and, if so,
the kind of treatment that ought
to be administered. Heart disease
is sometimes discovered in young
dogs. but nearly always it is a
disease peculiar only to- old dogs.
The symptoms are palpitation.
rapid breathing and paroxysms OF
coughing; the dog tires easily
when climbing up stairs Or refuses
to climb them at all.
A dog suffering with cardiac
trouble should be under the care
and direction OF a veterinarian.
While the animal cannot be COM
pletely cured, if you follow author
lied medical instruction you will
find that he will improve. Dogs
with heart disease should have
milk and cereals substituted for
meat in their diet. Many promi-
nent veterinarians a 0 recon-
mend a proper stimulant such as
Remesin which keeps t h e heart
evenly balanced. Decrease the
amount of drinking water and
make certain not to ~overfeed him.
THE QUESTION BOX
Question: Do dogs suffer from
cancer? L. c. T.
Answer: Dog c a n C r usually
starts from a small tumor but II
should be r e m e m bered that
tumors may be cured if the dog
is treated Immediately. Do not
make the mistake of waiting in
the hope that in some miraculous
way the tumor will disappear.
Question:: What is the best way
In train n doo-T moan all around
general training? "A. M. D.
Answer: One Of the first things
to remember is to use firmness
but above all, kindness. In train
ing a dog. more can be done by
kindness than by punishment. Pa
tience is another virtue that must
be exercised.

CARE OF DOGS TEETH

Many owners OF valuable dogs
brush their pets teeth not with
tooth paste or powder but with
charcoal. This brushing keeps the
teeth in condition., which in turn
helps insure a sweet breath. This
may sound foolish, but it is a
sound practice.
Puppies require little or no at
tention to their teeth until they
are about four months of age.
Normally at that age they start
