16 inflammation of the bladder. 



Symptoms. 



The early symptoms in this disease are gen- 

 erally those of fever, but the seat of the disease 

 soon becomes apparent. The horse occasionally 

 looks round at Ifis flanks, stands with his hind 

 legs wide apart, is unwilling to lie down, strad- 

 dles as he walks, evinces great pain in turning 

 shrinks when his loins are pressed; the loins feel 

 hot, the urine is voided in small quantities, 

 which is often highly colored and sometimes 

 bloody; he tries to urinate very often and strains 

 painfully, but the discharge is nearly or quite 

 suppressed; the pulse is quick, hard and full at 

 first, but rapidly becomes small, indicating a dis- 

 ease of the' urinary organs, yet not distinguish- 

 ing inflammation of the bladder from inflamma- 

 tion of the kidneys. 



Treatment — Kemedt. 



When you feel satisfied that it is a case of 

 inflammation of the bladder, blister the loins 

 with the blister ointment and give 1 ounce of 

 turpentine with 1 ounce of laudanum.
