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, ike, 

 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.
