46 Veterinary Medicine. 



This accomplished, the injection of antiseptic solutions (per- 

 manganate of potash, boric acid), and the liberal use of pure 

 water and detergent lotions in the mouth (vinegar, borax, car- 

 bolic acid or salicylic acid in solution) will go far to establish a 

 cure. In case of an abscess bursting internally the antiseptic 

 solutions should be injected into its cavity. When the abscess 

 bursts externally this is doubly demanded, as the introduction of 

 serial germs tends to produce very unhealthy action. The cavity 

 may be stuffed with carbolized, or iodoform, or acetanilid cotton, 

 or with boric or salicylic acid. 



SURGICAL LESIONS OF THE SALIVARY GLANDS. 



Among these may be named calculi of the Stenonian and 

 Whartonian ducts, ranula, stenosis and fistulse of these ducts, 

 tumors, special infections like actinomycosis.

Causes ; debilitating, climatic, microbian. Symptoms ; fever, dullness ; 

 lies under litter ; ears and tail droop .■ watery eyes ; anorexia ; vomiting ; 

 pharyngeal swelling ; buccal redness and fcetor ; tonsils swollen with pus 

 or caseous mass in follicles ; cough dry and hard, later loose. Abscess. 

 Calculus. Course. Treatment ; antiseptic electuaries ; embrocations ;

This is seen in both the acute and chronic form. In the 

 former it has the general causes and symptoms of pharyngitis. 

 There is more or less fever, dullness, a disposition to lie with 

 head extended and buried in the litter, ears drooping, eyes water- 

 ing and red, carelessness of food, deglutition painful, and liable 

 to be followed by vomiting. The mouth is red and hot, the 

 breath foetid and the tonsils swollen, and their alveoli filled with 

 muco purulent matter or at times with a foetid cheese-like pro- 

 duct. The cough is at first dry and hard and later loose and 

 gurgling.
