**Analyzing the Usage of "Seen" in Clinical Study Context**

Okay, so I'm diving into this text about Cerenia's efficacy in studies, specifically this phrase: "less vomiting was seen in dogs..." My initial thought is, "seen" here isn't about literally *seeing* vomiting, obviously. It's about the *finding* or *observation* of a reduced incidence. We're talking about clinical data, after all.

My expert brain kicks in, considering the candidate senses of "see." Let's break it down: sense one, "perceive by sight" – no, that's not it. We’re not *watching* the dogs in a literal sense. Then sense three, "perceive or be contemporaneous with" like "witness, find". Bingo! That makes more sense, and the example provided is perfect. In the same way you might "see" (i.e., *find*) Republicans winning, or *witness* cheating, we *find* less vomiting.

Just to be thorough, I quickly glanced at sense seven, like, "see or watch" to view something, but that's not quite right. "Less vomiting was found, witnessed, or observed". So, “seen” is used abstractly here, like "found/observed to occur". The study's results are reporting what was *found*.

Yes, it all leads me back to sense three being the correct interpretation here. "Less vomiting was seen" translates directly to "less vomiting was found/witnessed". Sense three is the most accurate within the context of analyzing the study results. The study results are describing the findings.

**Cerenia and Canine Vomiting: A Concise Analysis**

Okay, so I'm looking at this statement about Cerenia and vomiting in dogs, specifically that "less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo". Immediately, my mind jumps to the specifics of the subject: *Canis familiaris*. We're dealing with the domesticated dog here, a clear-cut case, not some ambiguous canid. The language is precise enough to rule out any peripheral interpretations. Since the context is veterinary medicine, and we're talking about dogs, the most relevant sense, by far, is the domesticated *Canis familiaris* in all its breed-specific glory. Thus, the indexed sense is unequivocally "a member of the genus *Canis* (probably descended from the common wolf) that has been domesticated by man since prehistoric times; occurs in many breeds." Simple as that. The study's focus, at this point, appears to be on the drug's efficacy in reducing emesis in this specific animal population.

**My Analysis of "Medicine" in Context**

Okay, so the word "medicine" is the target, and the sentence clearly describes a comparison between dogs receiving "medicine" and those receiving a placebo. This is straightforward; I need to pin down the precise meaning. Let me see...

My mind immediately jumps to a few candidate senses. Sense 1, "the branches of medical science that deal with nonsurgical techniques," that's probably not it. It's too broad. Sense 3, "the learned profession," or Sense 4, "punishment," are both way off base here. This feels much more direct.

The phrase "less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo..." strongly points to Sense 2: "(medicine) something that treats or prevents or alleviates the symptoms of disease | synonyms=medication, medicament, medicinal drug". That's the clear winner. The text is talking about a therapeutic agent, a drug, a medication. The fact that the text probably refers to Cerenia strengthens this deduction. Case closed.

**Analyzing "Dogs" in Context**

Okay, so the target is the word "dogs," and the goal is to figure out the right meaning in this sentence about Cerenia. The context is veterinary medicine, specifically a medication for vomiting. The sentence explicitly states that "less vomiting was seen in *dogs* that received the medicine than in *dogs* that received a placebo." Hmm, clearly, this refers to the animals.

Let's look at the candidate senses. There's the obvious one: sense 1, "a member of the genus Canis… domesticated by man." That seems like the right fit. It's about laboratory animals and veterinary patients. Sense 2, "a dull unattractive unpleasant girl or woman" - that's out, doesn't relate to the context. Sense 3 and 4 (man, morally reprehensible person) are equally irrelevant. Senses 5, 6, and 7 are all unrelated to animals.

The context is crystal clear. I'll go with sense 1. It's the only one that even remotely fits.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Placebo"**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with here is "placebo." The context is pretty straightforward: we're talking about a medical trial, specifically comparing the drug Cerenia to a placebo in dogs. Immediately, my mind jumps to the relevant senses. I've got two candidate senses: the first, the standard one – an inert substance used for control in medical studies; and the second, the Roman Catholic religious context, specifically vespers for the dead. Clearly, given that we're talking about a *medical* study examining *drug* effectiveness, sense 1 is the *only* plausible interpretation here. There's no possible way we're dealing with a religious ritual in this context. The sentence "less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo..." is an open and shut case. It's the standard, clinical definition of "placebo."

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Treatment" in a Veterinary Context**

Okay, so I'm diving into the nuances of Cerenia and its application in canines, specifically focusing on this sentence about its efficacy. The goal is to pinpoint the exact meaning of "treatment" here. Let's break it down. The sentence states, "less vomiting was seen in dogs that received the medicine than in dogs that received a placebo, both in the treatment or in the prevention of vomiting."

Clearly, "treatment" relates to the medical handling of a condition – in this case, vomiting. I've got a few candidates to consider:

*   Candidate 1, **"care provided to improve a situation (especially medical procedures or applications that are intended to relieve illness or injury)"** – Bingo! This definition aligns perfectly with the veterinary context. We're talking about administering medication (Cerenia) to alleviate the symptoms of vomiting. It's about a medical intervention designed to bring about a positive change.
*   Candidate 2, "the management of someone or something" - This is probably not relevant. Although we are managing the dog, the emphasis is the therapeutic procedure.
*   Candidate 3, "a manner of dealing with something artistically" - Nope, this is obviously not the case, this is not related to a medical procedure.
*   Candidate 4, "an extended communication..." - Absolutely not.

Therefore, the first sense, the "care provided to improve a situation" definition, is the most accurate and contextually sound choice. The word "treatment" here signifies the therapeutic approach to manage and relieve vomiting in the canine patient.

**Analyzing the Term "Treatment" in a Veterinary Context**

Okay, so we're looking at "treatment" in relation to Cerenia and vomiting dogs. The sentence says, "...The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the injection..." My brain immediately homes in on the word "treatment". Now, let's break down the possible senses.

*   **Sense 1: care provided to improve a situation (especially medical procedures...) | synonyms=intervention** This feels right, the classic "treatment" sense, providing care to the dog to stop it from being sick.
*   **Sense 2: the management of someone or something | synonyms=handling**. Hmm, while there's an element of management involved in veterinary care, that seems too broad here, it's not the primary focus, the focus is the medical action.
*   **Sense 3: a manner of dealing with something artistically.** Nope, definitely not this one; we aren't talking about aesthetics or an artistic endeavor.
*   **Sense 4: an extended communication.** Nah, not about a conversation.

So, it's clear. "Treatment" is unequivocally referring to the medical care needed to alleviate the dog's vomiting. The initial action involves the injection, or, in other words, the care that has to be provided. Therefore, sense 1 is the most appropriate interpretation in this veterinary context, a medical intervention to address the illness.

**Analyzing the Term "Dog" in a Veterinary Context**

Alright, let's break this down. My focus here is on the word "dog," specifically when we're talking about animal care – the veterinary application, got it. The key is in understanding the correct *sense* of the word. We're discussing Cerenia, which we know targets neurokinin 1 receptors and is used to reduce vomiting in… well, dogs. So, it's pretty clear we're dealing with Sense 1: *Canis familiaris*, the domestic dog.

I need to filter out the noise. The other senses are obvious distractors – no casual slang about people, hotdogs, mechanical pawls, or andirons here. This is a straightforward application of the term; the intended meaning is the animal itself. This has implications for how we discuss the drug's efficacy, dosage, and side effects. Now, let's get into the specifics of the treatment.

**Analyzing the Verb "Started" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma is "start," and the surface form is "started" in the sentence: "The treatment of a vomiting dog should be started with the injection..." My goal is to determine the most accurate sense of "start" in this context. It's clearly a passive construction; we could rephrase it as, "One should start the treatment..."

I need to evaluate the different senses. I've got a few options to consider:

*   **Sense 1 (start%2:30:00::):** "take the first step in carrying out an action." Examples include "We began working," and "Who will start?" This feels a little more intransitive or suggesting a beginning rather than an initiation. It seems to fit, but perhaps not perfectly.
*   **Sense 2 (start%2:30:01::):** "set in motion, cause to start." Synonyms include "begin," "lead off," and "commence." Examples are "The U.S. started a war..." and "The Iraqis began hostilities." "Start a treatment" fits nicely here, similar to "commence treatment". This is looking very promising!
*   **Sense 5 (start%2:36:00::):** "bring into being" (originate, initiate). Examples: "initiate a new program." This is closer to initiating than starting.
*   **Sense 13 (start%2:41:04::):** This is for a more limited event "begin a cigar."

Given the context of medical treatment, I believe Sense 2 is the most appropriate. "Commence" is a very good fit. In WordNet, this sense aligns with "begin, lead off, start, commence." "Set in motion, cause to start." It's a transitive verb, and the sentence's structure makes sense: "start the treatment."

I've also checked other options, like Sense 12, but it's intransitive and passive, so it wouldn't fit, and it is usually not a passive form.

I am now confident that Sense 2, which is "set in motion, cause to start," is the correct choice. It aligns perfectly with the transitive active form: "start the treatment with the injection."

**My Analysis of "Injection" in Context**

Okay, the target is "injection". The context is about treating a vomiting dog, specifically mentioning starting treatment with "the injection" because the dog can't keep a tablet down. I need to figure out which sense of "injection" is meant here. Let's look at the candidates:

1.  Forceful insertion of a substance under pressure.
2.  Any solution that is injected.
3.  The act of putting a liquid into the body by syringe (the shot).

My initial thought is that "the injection" likely refers to the method of administration. The contrast with "tablet" strongly suggests we're talking about *how* the medication is given.

My mind immediately goes to comparing sense 3 ("the act of putting a liquid into the body...") with sense 2 ("any solution that is injected"). Let's try it: "The treatment should be started with the shot" versus "the treatment should be started with the solution".

Hmmm. While the solution *is* what's being administered, "started with the shot" flows better in this medical context, as a shot *is* the method. I need to make sure I'm not overlooking anything. The term "the injection" can also refer to the medication itself (sense 2). But in medical parlance, the common usage of "the injection" is usually synonymous with "the shot".

Okay, so is this "the injection" an act or a solution? "Started with the injection" points more to the act (the act of giving the medication via a syringe), given the surrounding context. Another angle: "keep a tablet down". The tablet is a physical object. The injection could be the injectant. But given "started with the injection"...

Let's look at the dictionary. In this context versus the "tablet", "injection" usually refers to the "shot." So I'm thinking sense 3 ("shot", "the act of putting a liquid into the body...") is still looking like the best fit.

Let's consider if it's the injectant (sense 2). "since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down". So "started with the injection".

Let's look at a similar example, "the nurse gave him a flu shot" -> "started with the injection." I believe the treatment of the vomiting dog begins with an injection in the same way.

Yes, I'm confident. I will choose sense 3.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Able" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "able," and the context is "...vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down..." My first thought is to run through the candidate senses: "having the necessary means," "competent," "capable," and "fit." Let's see...

I'm leaning towards "having the necessary means," sense 1, and the examples help: "able to swim," "able to program." Sense 3, "capable," also fits with "able to learn," "able to walk," but "might not be able to keep a tablet down" seems more directly about physical ability *in this moment*. I'm thinking sense 1 might be broader than I initially realized.

I'm checking the WordNet hierarchy. Is it about *inherent* ability, like the capacity of a species, or is it about having the right *circumstances*? The "be able to" construction often defaults to sense 1. A vomiting animal's inability isn't inherent; it's situational. They lack the *necessary means* at this moment.

Digging deeper, sense 1, "having the necessary means or skill or know-how or authority," feels right. Is this "inherent physical or mental ability" (sense 3)? No, because it’s situational. They are vomiting! They lack the necessary conditions.

WordNet shows `able%3:00:00::` as the central adjective, taking infinitival complements ("able to..."). Sense 3 also takes it. The difference is inherent capacity (e.g., humans are able to walk). The *situational* ability to keep a tablet down clearly fits sense 1. Or does it?

Let's re-read the options. Sense 1, "having the necessary means," seems better; the inability is due to the current situation. "Means" usually concerns resources, but I see it as broader for situational ability. "Able to swim" is a skill. "Able to program" is know-how. "Able to keep a tablet down"... is that a skill, know-how, authority, or just means?

In most annotations, the typical "able to [verb]" construction where it is situational usually goes to sense 1. Sense 1 is the adjective head (00).

Let me confirm the distinction: "inherent physical or mental ability or capacity" versus "having the necessary means." Keeping a tablet down is a situational physical issue. Sense 1's definition includes "(usually followed by `to') having the necessary means or skill or know-how or authority to do something". It fits the "able to" pattern perfectly. Sense 1 is the main sense here.

**Analyzing the Word "Tablet" in Context**

Okay, so I need to nail down the precise WordNet sense for "tablet" in this sentence: "...since vomiting animals might not be able to keep a tablet down...". Given my expertise, I'm immediately leaning towards a medical context. The lemma is clearly "tablet," and I have four candidate senses to evaluate.

The first, "a slab of stone or wood suitable for bearing an inscription," is obviously wrong. The idea of a dog swallowing an inscribed stone slab is absurd!

The second, "a number of sheets of paper fastened together along one edge," is also completely irrelevant. This can't possibly be what the sentence is referring to.

The third, "a small flat compressed cake of some substance," is a bit closer, but still doesn't quite fit. While it *could* be a compressed cake, the fact that we're talking about animals vomiting and a medication (Cerenia) given to dogs strongly indicates a pharmaceutical application.

That leaves the fourth option: "a dose of medicine in the form of a small pellet," with synonyms like "pill," "lozenge," and "tab." Bingo! That's the correct sense. It's a medical tablet, the intended form of the medication. The context is perfect, perfectly aligned with the pharmaceutical usage of the word "tablet".

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Intact" in the Context of a Tablet**

Okay, so I'm looking at the phrase "intact tablet," specifically in the context of it being thrown up. My initial thought is that "intact" means the tablet is whole – it hasn't been digested or broken down. This leads me to consider the difference between "whole" and "undamaged."

I go through the candidates for "intact," considering both the "entirety" definition and the "undamaged" definition. I check for synonyms – integral, entire, whole. The context of vomiting an "intact" tablet clearly implies that the pill *remained whole*, in its undigested form. But then I have to factor in that an "undamaged" tablet *also* means it is physically complete.

I delve into WordNet, looking at "intact" as being either whole vs undamaged. I find that, usually, the pill is "whole" (undiminished entirety). And, in the situation of throwing up, I have to determine if "intact" implies it didn't dissolve or if it didn't break. I go back to checking context: "throw the intact tablet up again". The tablet is not damaged, or it is whole/entire.

Let's break this down. Is it the *entirety* of the tablet that is important, or the fact it isn't broken? I consider the "vase remained intact" example – which is about a physical object remaining in one piece, *undamaged*. That seems a better fit for a tablet.

I examine the WordNet senses again. I know that, in WordNet, `intact#1` is synonymous with `entire` and `integral`, but `intact#4` is a satellite of `undamaged#1`. So, it's about not being physically harmed, or spoiled. So, both seem applicable but I need to decide which is most accurate.

I consider the examples in Sense 1 again: "a local motion keepeth bodies integral; was able to keep the collection entire during his lifetime". This is about things not being dispersed or missing parts, i.e., an *entire collection*. Sense 4, however, states: "the vase remained intact despite rough handling". So, this is about a single physical object not being broken.

Now I remember that a tablet is a single object, and when it is thrown up "intact," it means it hasn't broken. So, the "vase remained intact" is a single object staying in one piece. A tablet staying in one piece is Sense 4.

So, I decide to go with Sense 4. I'm choosing "undamaged" because that is the most accurate definition to the physical state of the tablet (not being broken, dissolved, or chemically altered) . I double-check my work. Sense 4 it is: "undamaged in any way". The dog swallowed the tablet. The stomach acid *usually* dissolves the tablet. If it doesn't, it's undamaged. And that, I confirm, is my ultimate choice.

**Cerenia Administration Considerations**

Okay, so we're talking Cerenia for dogs here, specifically about treating vomiting. The key takeaway, as I see it, is the initial route of administration. Clearly, the injection is the preferred starting point for a vomiting dog. That makes perfect sense; if the animal is actively retching, trying to administer a tablet – and we're using "tablet" in the specific sense of a medicinal dose in a solid, small pellet form, which is the fourth sense in this context -- is just going to be counterproductive. They're going to throw it right back up, rendering the medication ineffective and potentially causing aspiration, not to mention additional stress for the animal. We want to get the drug into the system, and the injection bypasses that immediate problem. Then, we can evaluate whether we can switch to the tab form in the future if the vomiting subsides. The order of operations is crucial here.

**Deconstructing "Follow-Up" in Veterinary Context**

Alright, the target is "follow-up," specifically in the context of treating a vomiting dog. The text suggests an initial injection, followed by tablet administration by the owner. My initial thought process involves parsing the potential meanings. Let's see: is it about building on earlier work, continuing an activity, or a subsequent examination?

My gut leans towards "continuing an activity" – sense 2. The phrase is "follow-up treatment," meaning it's *treatment* that comes after the first round of treatment. It's a continuation. Does it align with a sense of "a subsequent examination of a patient"? Not really; administering tablets isn't an examination. So, it's not sense 3.

To solidify this, I'm checking, if we replaced "follow-up" with "a subsequent examination," the phrase would read as "a subsequent examination treatment" which doesn't make logical sense. Whereas, if "follow-up" means "an activity that continues something that has already begun," then the phrase makes perfect sense. Thus, "follow-up" here implies continuation, not an exam. Therefore, the interpretation in sense 2 is the most appropriate.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Treatment" in Veterinary Context**

Okay, so the task at hand is to pinpoint the exact meaning of "treatment" when we're talking about a dog who is vomiting and receiving Cerenia. My initial thought process immediately narrows down the possibilities. We're dealing with "follow-up treatment," meaning a subsequent action or action intended to solve a health problem. This rules out artistic or communicative connotations right away.

The core question is, what kind of *action* are we discussing? The senses suggested provide a useful framework. "Sense 1," the idea of *care provided to improve a situation*, particularly in a medical context – that's the clear winner. This aligns perfectly with the goal of relieving the dog's vomiting through the administration of Cerenia. While "sense 2," management, has validity in some cases, it doesn't quite fit. The focus here is on the *application* of Cerenia, an intervention designed to address the underlying issue. Therefore, the intended meaning of "treatment" is definitely the *medical intervention* or *care provided* to alleviate the condition.

**My Analysis of "Owner" in Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The phrase I'm focusing on is "the animal owner." My task is to determine the correct sense of "owner" here. I'm given two potential senses:

1.  "owner%1:18:00::" – This implies someone who owns a business; a proprietor.
2.  "owner%1:18:02::" – This refers to a general possessor of something.

Now, considering the context, "the animal owner can administer the tablets to the dog," it's clear the context revolves around an individual's relationship with an animal. Given this, an "animal owner" owns the animal itself. An animal is "something," not a business. Therefore, I'm confident that the correct sense is the second one, "owner%1:18:02::" – the possessor. It's a straightforward disambiguation based on semantic fit.

**Analyzing the Verb "Administer" in Context**

Okay, so the target word here is "administer." The surrounding text mentions a dog and "tablets," clearly indicating some kind of medication. Let's see... I've got a list of senses to choose from. The first one is about working in an administrative capacity – obviously not relevant here. Next, we have performing a church sacrament – that's a hard no, as well. Third, "administer or bestow, as in small portions" – it *could* fit if you were bestowing a medication, but it's a bit vague. Sense 5, "directing the taking of an exam/oath," definitely doesn't apply. Ah, here we go... Sense 4 nails it: "give or apply (medications)," with "dispense" as a synonym. Bingo! Giving "the tablets" (medicine) to the dog... that's a perfect match for Sense 4. No further analysis needed; that's the correct interpretation.

**Cerenia: Choosing the Right Administration Method**

Okay, so we're talking Cerenia and how to best deliver it to a dog. The clinical context highlights its use for vomiting, noting that dogs receiving it experienced less vomiting. Clearly, the immediate concern is how to get the medicine *into* a vomiting dog. The text strongly suggests that when dealing with an actively vomiting animal, the injection is the go-to starting point. Tablets are mentioned, but the key is getting past the vomiting hurdle, as a tablet could just get immediately expelled.

Now, let's process this in terms of the specific objects or representations we could be dealing with. We have options: a slab, a notepad, a compressed cake, and then the medication itself in pill form. That fourth option, the small pellet, is the obvious match here; that’s what we're aiming for. The language explicitly states "administer the tablets," and given the drug's purpose, we understand that we are using it for a therapeutic purpose. Given that context, it's clear the tablets are the form of the medication. The correct choice is therefore sense 4, that we're talking about the Cerenia pills or tablets.

**Analyzing the Context of "Dog"**

Okay, so the target word is "dog," and the phrase is "the tablets to the dog." That's pretty straightforward, but I always run a quick mental check. Let's see... the text mentions Cerenia, which is a common anti-nausea medication used in veterinary medicine, and it also refers to animal owners and veterinary practices. This strongly suggests the context is veterinary.

Now, let's nail down the specific sense of "dog." Given the context – tablets, treatment, animal owner – it's virtually guaranteed we're talking about the domestic dog, *Canis familiaris*. No ambiguity there. The fit is perfect; we're on the right track! This is precisely what I expected given the veterinary focus. No need for deeper analysis here.

**Analyzing the Context of "Treatment"**

Okay, so I'm looking at the word "treatment" in this veterinary context, and the surface form, unsurprisingly, is "treatment." The surrounding text is key: it's talking about managing vomiting in animals, specifically in conjunction with other therapies. The goal is to figure out the precise meaning of "treatment" here.

My immediate understanding is that we're talking about medical care specifically aimed at alleviating the symptom of vomiting. I've got two candidate meanings in mind. Candidate 1 is the one that really jumps out: "care provided to improve a situation, especially medical procedures or applications that are intended to relieve illness or injury." The synonyms like "intervention" fit perfectly with the idea of a veterinarian taking action.

Then, there's Candidate 2, "the management of someone or something," with synonyms like "handling." While that definition isn't *completely* irrelevant, it’s much broader. It could apply, in some contexts, but it's not the primary sense intended here. Given the mention of Cerenia, supportive measures, and veterinary therapy, it's pretty clear that Candidate 1 is the better fit. The reference to "relieve illness" and medical procedures just hits the nail on the head.

**Deconstructing the Nuance of "Only"**

Okay, so the target word is "only" in the context of treating vomiting: "Also, the treatment of vomiting should *only* be together with other supportive measures..." My initial thought is to consider the various shades of meaning this word carries. Does it mean *exclusively*, implying no other method is acceptable? Or perhaps it leans towards "only if" but with the modification on the prepositional phrase "together with..."? Let's rule out any that don't fit...

"Merely" doesn't quite capture the restriction; the sentence isn't about simplicity, but limitation. Is it closer to "solely" or "exclusively"? The phrase "should only be together with" seems to be restricting the *manner* of treatment and meaning that other ways are not allowed. Testing that meaning, I get "should solely be together with" = only together with.

I'm thinking now about how "only" functions grammatically here, specifically, how it modifies the prepositional phrase "together with". Considering my other options from "only if", it feels awkward as it requires a clause. Then I return to the "exclusively" meaning. Now that seems correct.

Let's test this "exclusively" interpretation: "should exclusively be together with". Yes, that makes perfect sense. This makes the restriction clear: treatment *only* in conjunction with supportive measures. So, the meaning is that no other method is permitted – the treatment must be done *exclusively* together with the described supportive measures. So, I will settle on Sense 2 and the meaning of *exclusively*, *solely*, *alone*.

**Deconstructing "Other" in Veterinary Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The word "other" is the key here, and it's hanging out in the phrase "...together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy...". My immediate task is to nail down the precise meaning. I've got a handful of candidate senses to sift through.

First up is the most obvious: "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied." This seems like a strong contender. Then there are a few senses referencing "past" in different ways, one recent and one distant. Finally, we have a sense of "strange" or "unusual".

Given the context of vomiting treatment, "other supportive measure" is clearly referring to *different* supportive measures beyond the Cerenia treatment, which is explicitly mentioned. We're not talking about something that happened recently, or something strange. The distant past doesn't make sense either.

So, it boils down to the first sense: not the same as what's already been referenced. This is reinforced by examples like "today isn't any other day" or the construction of "highways and other public works" – clearly indicating distinct, different items.

Thus, sense 1, "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied", is the definitive winner. It fits the veterinary context perfectly.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Measure" in the Context of Veterinary Care**

Okay, so the target word is "measure," and the specific phrase is "supportive measure." My immediate thought is that this is referring to an action or step taken to support the animal, likely within a veterinary context. I need to figure out which sense of "measure" is being used here.

Let's see. My first candidate is "any maneuver made as part of progress toward a goal," with "step" as a synonym. Bingo! That feels right on the nose. "Supportive measures" is a very common phrase in medicine and vet medicine.

Now, just to be thorough, I'll quickly glance at the other candidates. Hmm, "quantity," "amount" from candidate two is definitely not it. Not a "bill" either (candidate three), nor "measuring" (candidate four). And a "standard" (candidate five) is not in the correct semantic domain here.

Nope, candidate one is clearly the winner. It's a "maneuver," a "step," a deliberate action taken as part of treating the vomiting. That's precisely what's meant by "supportive measure" in this context.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Other"**

Okay, so the target word is "other," and, interestingly, the surface form is also "other" – no inflection here. The provided context is, "Also, the treatment of vomiting should only be together with other supportive measure or other veterinary therapy while addressing the underlying causes of the vomiting." Right, let's break this down.

The system's presented with four potential senses:

1.  "Not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied." This seems like the most common, general sense. Examples are provided, like "today isn't any other day," which reinforces this idea of distinctness.
2.  "Recently past" – that feels specific, almost temporal. The example "the other evening" makes this clearer, although the example could be confusing to a new reader.
3.  "Belonging to the distant past." Synonyms like "early" and "former" solidify this temporal, almost archaic usage. This is a possibility that seems unlikely from the example provided.
4.  "Very unusual; different in character or quality from the normal or expected." This seems far-fetched in this context.

Now, let's apply these to the actual sentence. The phrase "other veterinary therapy" is the key. Given the sentence structure, it feels like it implies "additional" or "different" therapy compared to what was previously discussed – namely, "the treatment of vomiting," or more broadly, the initial supportive measures. The reference is to a veterinary therapy outside the initial statement, so the first definition is the best fit. Sense 1, the "not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied" definition is the clear winner here.
