This term is applied to a swelling or lump that appears on the front part of the neck, known as the thyroid gland. It is soft and elastic to the touch, and appears to give no pain except when treatment is neglected and it increases to such a size as to interfere with the breathing. It is especially a disease of old dogs, although it often occurs in ill-fed and scrofulous puppies. If will appear in a night, and is sometimes due to a cold caught, which settles in the glands of the throat. The latest, and I have found by having to treat many cases, is Iodin Vasigin, full strength, which apply twice daily, rubbing well in with the hands as you would apply a liniment. Another good remedy to apply same as aboce, is,'Iodidode of Potassium, one dram to seven ounces of lard (well mixed). Aside from external treatment give cod liver oil - from a teaspoonful for a 20 lb. dog, up to two tablespoonfuls for a dog like a pointer or St. Bernard, three times a day. If abscesses form they must be lanced. Dogs suffering from Goitre should be extra well fed. Painting with tincture of iodine, one a day, is as good as anything you can do.
