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.

ANOMALIES OF THE BLADDER.

Persistent urachus. Seen in the new born and mainly in males. Antiseptic closure is essential after having ascertained that the urethra is pervious.

Imperforate cervix vesicæ. A case reported by Lapotre, in a calf, had no cervix, and the ureters were blocked by pea-shaped nodules.

Recto-vesical fistula. In a calf 13 days old the rectum opened into the bladder and the fæces and urine escaped by a pervious urachus. (Kaufmann and Blanc).
