Our object\\nis to guide aright those contemplating going into the business\\neither for pleasure or profit. They will find an abundance of\\nboth, but for those who are unfortunate enough to have sick\\nrabbits the following will be found efficient, simple and com-\\nparatively inexpensive if judiciously applied. The Belgian\\nhare when suffering from sickness is a frail, tender and timid\\nanimal, and we are sorry to say there are at present some\\nharsh and irritating medicines on the market, which only\\ntend to increase the suffering. We will take the diseases in\\nalphabetcal order:\\nAbcesses. These come from various causes (either impure\\nblood or hereditary) over-feeding, from a scratch or bite,\\nbruise, etc. An abcess generally makes its appearance on the\\nsurface and develops rapidly. These are easily treated and are\\nnot particularly dangerous. But those that form internally\\ngenerally prove fatal as they are not discovered until too late.\\nTreatment: When ripe clip the fur from off the swelling, then\\nopen with a lance. Squeeze out all the pus as tenderly as pos-\\nsible. Wash with warm water and permanganate of potassium.\\nDissolve one grain to a pint of water. Dust the wound with\\nflowers of sulphur.

This may be detected by a discharge from\\nthe ear and by the rabbit holding its head to one side. It is\\nvery painful and requires careful treatment.

Remove from draughts, give plenty of straw for\\nbedding; also one teaspoonful of cough mixture and milk half\\nof each twice a day.\\nConstipation. Symptoms: Sitting in a corner, loss of\\nappetite, body sometimes swollen, also noticed by the absence\\nof any droppings. If green food fails to give relief, give half\\na teaspoonful of syrup of figs or castor oil tw r ice a day until\\nrelieved.\\nDiseased Liver. If the liver is diseased, it can be cured in\\nthe early stages, but if in an advanced stage it is better to kill\\nthe animal than try to prolong its misery. It is generally\\ncaused by injudicious feeding, creating a parasite called a\\nfluke, which causes the liver to decay more or less rapidly, ac-\\ncording to the constitution of the rabbit. The most noticeable\\nsymptom is heavy breathing and sometimes accompanied by a\\nnoise.
