248 TREATMENT OF DISEASES. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE STOMACH 



may also be said to be very rare, and not to be 

 distinguished from inflammation of the bowels. 

 Symptoms and treatment are the same as in that 

 disease. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE HEART 



is another very rare disease, and more resem- 

 bling inflammation of the lungs. If a horse 

 dies of the latter, the former may be found 

 inflamed ; the same as when a horse dies of 

 inflammation of the bowels, the stomach on 

 dissection may also be found inflamed : but, as 

 primary diseases, they are both allowed to be 

 very rare. 



INFLAMMATION OF THE KIDNEYS; THE NECK OF 

 THE BLADDER ; AND BLADDER, 



are caused by cold ; continued rain dropping on 

 the loins ; over-riding, or strain of the loins ; 

 not allowing the horse to stale, if he requires 

 it, whilst riding ; long feeding on musty gram, 

 &c.
