Treatment: Rest, heat, cold, massage, counter-irritation, astrin- 

 gents, antiseptics and operation (amputation, incision, scarification). 



Give a classification of inflammation. 



According to the character of the exudate : 1, serous ; 2, fibrin- 

 ous, or croupous ; 3, suppurative ; 4, diphtheritic ; 5, hemorrhagic ; 6, 

 necrotic or gangrenous; 7, productive or proliferative; 8, specific 

 (tuberculosis, glanders, actinomycosis, strangles, anthrax, etc.). 



Describe the inflammatory appearances of the blood. 



The white corpuscles are arranged next to the vessel-wall, while 

 the red blood-corpuscles occupy the centre of the stream. The white 

 eeUs are seen passing through the walls of the vessels. A transu- 

 dation of serum also occurs. In purulent inflammation, leucocytosis 

 occurs. 



What are the terminations of inflammations? 



1, Resolution; 2, new formations in the form of thickenings, 

 indurations and adhesions ; 3, gangrene and septic infection. 



Name five antiphlogistic remedies. 



Heat, cold, counter-irritants, massage and antiseptics. 



State the indications for heat and for cold in the treatment of inflam* 

 mation. 

 Heat is indicated in all aseptic forms, especially subacute and 

 chronic. It is also used in septic forms to hasten the "ripening" 

 of abscesses. 



Cold is indicated in septic, as well as in the first stages of acute 

 and very painful inflammations. 



Describe the condition knowm as " lampas." 



A congestion of the hard palate, just posterior to the incisors, 

 often seen in young animals during the eruption of teeth. Rarely 

 occurs in mature animals or requires interference. (Often referred 

 to as "a disease of the stableman's mind.") 



Ulcer, Fistula and Gangeene 



Define (a) fistula, (b) ulcer. 



(a) A deep, sinuous ulcer, often leading to an internal hollow 

 organ. 



(b) An open sore other than a wound, characterized by a loss 

 of substance on a cutaneous or mucous surface and a gradual disin- 

 tegration and necrosis of the tissues. "A wound that has no 

 tendency to heal. "
