2 1 6 Diseases of the Urinary Organs. 



Treatment. Injections of cold water ; astringents, No. 

 7 or 8, internally ; or substitute tincture of iron, tannic 

 acid, chloralum, &c. Subcutaneous injections, Nos. 6 

 or 8. 



CYSTITIS Inflammation of the Bladder, may arise 

 from causes connected with the preceding diseases, or 

 directly from the absorption or administration of can- 

 tharides. The animal is in great suffering ; fever, &c., 

 run high, colicky pains are present, efforts are made to 

 vomit, great prostration, frequent but ineffectual attempts 

 to urinate. If stranguary is present the signs are intense ; 

 and when cantharides have been administered the mouth 

 is inflamed and the membrane peels off, while swallowing 

 is painful and difficult. 



Treatment. Purge briskly with aloes. Avoid oil. Give 

 mucilage largely by the mouth with the medicines ; throw 

 up enemas ; evacuate the bladder if needful by the cathe- 

 ter; apply mustard to the loins, and combat the inflam- 

 matory action by the febrifuge drench, No. 3, adding 

 aconite if needed, 4 to 6 drops. 



INVERSION OF THE BLADDER is an untoward accident 

 at all times, not infrequently complicated and fatal. The 

 services of a qualified practitioner are essential. It occurs 

 only in females, in parturition or during other violent 

 efforts. The efforts of the owner should be directed to- 

 wards the prevention of injury to the displaced viscus, 

 until a practitioner arrives.
