About This Book

The volume systematically explains the principles and practice of veterinary medicine, distinguishing general and special pathology, morbid anatomy, and pathological chemistry, and defining disease. It outlines methods of diagnosis, symptomatology, prognosis, prophylaxis and therapeutics. Organized by organs and systems, it surveys diseases of the respiratory tract (nose, throat, lungs, pleura), the heart and circulation, and related parasitic and infectious conditions, with attention to clinical signs, percussion and auscultation, stages and complications. Emphasis is placed on prevention, sanitary measures, and practical treatment approaches for domestic animals.

NASAL DISCHARGE FROM CARIOUS TEETH, ETC.

Ulceration into sinus from caries, loss of molar, overgrown molar. Fœtor, tenderness. Foreign body in the nose.

In cases of a diseased molar tooth in the upper jaw, food getting firmly impacted in the hollow space, irritates the pulp in the fang and the adjacent bone until the progress in ulceration reaches the nasal chamber or sinuse and a nasal discharge is established. If an upper molar tooth is lost the molar formerly opposed to it in the lower jaw grows out and sets up the same train of symptoms. In all cases then in which nasal gleet is associated with much fœtor and with difficulty in eating, a careful examination of the teeth should be made. (See Diseases of the Teeth).

FOREIGN BODY IN THE NOSE.

Professor Gamgee records the destruction of an animal for glanders in which the cause of the discharge was afterwards found to be a physic ball coughed up into the posterior part of the nose and firmly impacted there.
