    Cystitis] a warm solution of boracic acid, Condy’s fluid well diluted, or one per cent, solution of Pearson’s disinfectant fluid. Stop bleeding- by applying pressure with fingers, or a pad of absorbent boracic wool, and bandage. When very severe, apply a ligature to the vessel above the part. After cleaning the wound and stopping the bleeding, the edges of the cut should be brought together with a few stitches, about a sixth of an inch apart; a pad of some disinfectant gauze applied, also a bandage. If no swelling or dis- charge, the dressing need not be disturbed for about six days, when the stitches can be removed. Afterwards re-bandage for another day to protect the part from dog’s tongue. Cystitis : See Bladder, Irritable. Cysts: Symptoms: A sac containing fluid or semi- fluid substances, or even hair and other foreign substances. A form of cyst often seen in flap of the ear. Treatment: Cysts can only be removed by cutting. In the case of the ear, it should be freely opened at the most depending part and a tube inserted, or at any rate the wound should be kept open for a few days, otherwise fluid will collect again. No other treatment required except keeping the parts clean. The dog must not wear a collar. Dandruff (Scurf): Symptoms: Dryness of the skin and hair, and the rising of branny greyish-white scales from the former, and mixing with the coat.
