Symptoms very pronounced in the acute form, first vomiting, pain and tenderness. The position of the animal is often characteristic. The animal lies stretched out on his belly. There is not the same tendency to arched back as in colic.

Here is another "old fashioned" remedy, that I have found most successful. Get a dime's worth of Slippery Elm bark, cut it up, pour a quart of water over it, then set it in another vessel of water, and boil 'till it makes an emulsion like mucilage. Give dog a tablespoonful, (small toys half this), three times a day before feeding. Feed light, soft foods for a few days. Milk peptonized is very good.

If there is constipation, Enemas must be given.

Water must be given sparingly, only a small quantity at a time and quite cold.
