Anal Glands] IO [Aneurism 



experience, when injected under the skin previous 

 to an operation, the wound does not heal so 

 readily, in consequence, I consider the blood- 

 less condition of the skin, which continues for 

 some time after, due to the application of this 

 drug. 



Anal Glands, Congestion and Irritation of: 



Symptoms : Dragging themselves along the 

 ground, which is often supposed to be due to 

 worms, frequently licking the anus, suddenly 

 looking round behind and tucking the tail in 

 as if there was something pricking. In these 

 cases there is a small swelling on each side of 

 the anus due to an accumulation of the natural 

 secretion of these glands. Occasionally a painful 

 abscess forms. 



Treatment : In simple cases all that is required 

 is to squeeze the glands and evacuate the con- 

 tents, and this, as a rule, gives immediate relief. 

 In some dogs these glands require attention 

 every three or four weeks. If an abscess forms, 

 the swelling should be fomented with hot water, 

 and when soft freely opened, the contents 

 evacuated, and the cavity syringed out with a 

 warm saturated solution of boracic acid. The 

 wound should be kept open for a few days. 

 In troublesome cases it is best to have the 

 glands removed altogether by operation, and so 

 save further inconvenience to the dog. 



Aneurism : 



Symptom: Dilation of an artery. Difficult to 

 detect in a dog. 



Treatment consists in ligaturing the artery.
