BALANITIS, 



Signifying inflammation of, and discharge of matter from, the 

 mucous membrane of the prepuce, is an affection which dogs 

 are frequently troubled with. 



Causes. — Balanitis is usually due to the secretion of acrid 

 matter within the prepuce, and is more especially induced by 

 a plethoric habit of body. It may also co-exist with a relaxed 

 and ansemic condition of system. 



Symptoms. — Considerable irritation of the part, denoted 



by the animal frequently licking it ; a thick yellow discharge 



is continually present. On examination the part will be 



found red, swollen, and exceedingly sensitive. The prepuce 



is always more or less protruded, erections are frequent, and 



urination is performed at times with pain.
