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.

IMPERFORATE HYMEN.

Cases of this kind have been described in mare and cow, preventing copulation and conception, and leading to a distension of the vagina, with a glairy fluid, which obstructed defecation, irritated the bladder and caused violent but fruitless straining, under which the mass would project from the vulva. The centre of the swelling may be penetrated with a trochar or bistuory and enlarged by incisions in several directions. Relief is prompt and lasting.
