no I ^eterin ary Obstetrics 



In another flock of ewes, which had not associated with this 

 one, except that one of the rams had been with them, it was 

 found that some twelve of them had eruptions about the lips and 

 and noses, but no genital affection was present. A second ram, in 

 this lot, escaped the disease, so far as seen. In the larger flock 

 of ewes, the rams were isolated and the affected ewes removed 

 immediately from the herd. Daily inspection was made of the 

 apparently well ewes, and any which developed the symptoms of 

 the disease were promptly separated. A few weeks later breed- 

 ing was resumed without recurrence of the di.sease, and, in due 

 time, the ewes dropped healthy lambs. 



INFECTIOUS VENEREAL DISEASE OF RABBITS 



Friedberger and Frohner (Spezielle Pathologic und Therapie, 

 1904, page 501), describe an infectious disease of rabbits which 

 was transmitted chiefly, or wholly, through copulation. The af- 

 fection appeared in an extensive breeding establishment of rab- 

 bits, and consisted of an inflammatory disease of the organs of 

 copulation. It was transmitted by coition from buck to doe, and 

 vice versa. There were extensive swellings of the genital or- 

 gans in both sexes, accompanied by a muco-purulent di.scharge. 

 The disease was finally eradicated by injections of a .solution of 

 sulphate of copper, i to 2 % , extending over a period of some 

 weeks. 



VENEREAL DISEASES OF SWINE AND GOATS 



Hutyra und Marek mention the occurrence of venereal disease 

 in .swine, and Friedberger und Froehner state that it occurs rarely 

 in swine and goats, but neither of these authors record any de- 

 finite okservations upon either malady.
