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.

UTERINE TUBERCLE.

This has been seen especially in sterile cows, the subjects of nymphomania, and it may be associated with a muco-purulent or bloody discharge from the vulva, nodular swelling on the uterine horns, perhaps also on the broad ligaments, one or both ovaries, and the mesentery, to be recognized by rectal examination. The presence of tuberculosis in the lungs or throat, and the response to the tuberculin test will confirm the diagnosis. As a rule it is not desirable to institute treatment.
