About This Book

Comprehensive clinical manual detailing disorders of the nervous, genitourinary, ocular, and integumentary systems in domestic animals. It begins with principles of neural control and general symptomatology, classifying motor, sensory, and psychic disturbances and methods for localizing lesions. The text describes specific conditions such as seizures, paralysis, meningitis, intracranial hemorrhage, tumors, and toxicoses, and outlines diagnostic signs and pathological causes. Later sections address urine analysis and renal disease, urinary tract inflammation and calculi, and diseases of the eye, skin, and constitutional systems, combining pathological description with clinical signs, differential diagnosis, and practical guidance for examination and interpretation.

TUMORS OF THE BLADDER.

Recorded cases of sarcoma (Mauri), carcinoma (Cadeac, Hink, Friedberger), and tuberculosis can be adduced. Papilloma is perhaps as frequent as any of the above. The author has treated two cases of papilloma in mares complicated with multiple small calculi and gravel. Treatment is exclusively surgical and in the mare with the widely dilatable urethra this is sometimes possible through that channel. In the same animals diagnosis may be accomplished by introducing the finger into the urethra and bladder. In other females and males, vaginal or rectal palpation must be resorted to.
