GLANDULAR SWELLINGS. ...GRAVEL. 181

Glandular Sivellino;s. 



a 



Dogs are very liable to glandular swelling-s of various parts 

 of the body. The glands, however, most subject to become 

 affected, are those of the neck and belly. The former com- 

 plaint is treated of under the head Bronchocele. The 

 glands of the belly are very frequently tumefied in bitches. — 

 See ScHiRRUs. — Puppies, now and then, have their mesen- 

 teric glands enlarged and diseased ; in which cases they pine 

 and waste away, till complete emaciation carries them off. — 

 See Puppies. — The pancreas and spleen also are liable, occa- 

 sionally, to become diseased. 



There is sometimes an enlargement of the whole of the 

 substance of the neck that is apt to be confounded with 

 glandular swelling, but which it is wholly different from : 

 depending entirely on a spasmodic and rheumatic affection. — 

 See Rheumatism. 



Gravel. 



Dogs have stone it is certain ; that they therefore have 

 gravel also, it is natural to suppose, though it is not always 

 easy to detect it. I have, however, seen the complaint suffi- 

 ciently well marked. From ten to twenty drops of oil of tur- 

 pentine, or twice the quantity of spirits of nitrous aether (spi- 

 rit of 7iitre), twice a day, with a few drops of laudanum 

 added to either in case of much pain, will form the best means 

 of relief.— See the article Stone.
