184 DISEASES OF THE URINARY AND SEXUAL APPARATUS.

 or argenti nitras. 



In rare cases we may have an animal affected with specific gon- 

 orrhoea which has extended from the foreskin into the urethra and 

 an enlargement of the inguinal lymphatics, forming a bubo (Sie- 

 damgrotzky and author). In one of the cases observed by Siedam- 

 grotzky the gonorrhoea was accompanied by intense inflammatioa 

 of the eyes (gonorrhoeal ophthalmia). 



Neoformations of the Glans and Prepuce. 



Neoformations are sometimes found on the dog and bitch, and 

 are either condyloma, carcinoma, or sarcoma. The former can 

 be removed by the scissors or a small pair of pincers and the 

 blood stopped by compression or a solution of alum, or, what is 

 much better, the thermo-cautery. Carcinoma and sarcoma gen- 

 erally require the removal of a portion of the glans. (See chapter 

 on Neoformations.) 



DISEASES OP THE TESTICLE AND ITS COVERINGS.

 eczema, which sometimes causes great swelling and sensitiveness. 

 (See Diseases of the Skin.) MoUer has also seen serpentine vari- 

 cosis with ulceration and accompanied with profuse hemorrhage. 



Inflammations of the Testicle — Orchitis. 



Orchitis without any other injury is very rarely seen in the 

 dog ; it may be caused by a kick, or a blow, or from crushing. The 

 testicle is swollen and smooth on its surface and very sensitive to 

 the touch. In one case that the author observed the epididymis 

 was also greatly swollen (epididymitis). The therapeutics consists 

 of cooling applications and rest. 



Injuries to the Testicles and Scrotum. 



As a rule, the wounds of these parts are caused by fighting with 

 other dogs, and are either lacerations or perforated wounds. In
