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.

SUPERNUMERARY OVARIES.

Extra ovaries have been found in different cases in the human female, the additional organ being furnished with a fallopian tube, and in some instances an extra uterine horn. No facts are at hand concerning the lower animals, but the occurrence of gestation and the birth of a single puppy a year after careful castration, would seem to suggest that the condition occurs in the bitch. There is no embryological reason why the lower animals should not at times show this deviation from the normal.
