The watchword in distemper, as I said before, is nursing good nursing alone will pull most dogs through and I deliberately refrain from giving any prescriptions, because, as each case varies according to circumstances and the patient's constitution, each should be prescribed for on its merits.

For far too long we have gone on in a rough-and-ready rule-of-thumb method of dosing dogs all in the same way, without regard to idiosyncrasy, which all the time has been as marked in them as in human kind and the sooner we change all this and study each dog after its kind, the better for them and for us.
