RABIES IN A BOG.

pain herself ’ if I may so express it. In this way I brought away 
the whole litter of ten pigs, and also the p acental membranes. 
I ordered a simple diet for twenty-four hours, and afterwards 
a more liberal one. The pigs, which were very fine ones, all 
lived, and, with the mother, did well. This case may appear a 
simple one ; but from its unusual occurrence, and its being the 
first and only case of the kind l ever saw or heard of, I deemed it 
my duty, as long a constant reader of the The Veterinarian, 
to bring it, with your permission, under the notice of your readers. 
RABIES IN A DOG. 
By Mr. Fred. Sewell, V.S., Park-street. 
A rough terrier, the property of a gentleman residing in Hyde- 
park Square, was observed on the 9th January 1842, to be dull 
and restless. On the two following days he grew worse, and on 
the 11th he was seen to stagger in his gait, and to have lost the 
sight of one of his eyes. We were then consulted about him. 
The symptoms were, a staggering gait, particularly on the right 
side of the body ; the eye of the same side quite opaque, and of 
a dirty blue colour ; the other eye natural: the respiration was 
increased, and it was accompanied by a harsh grating noise, 
slight at first, but more evident as the disease progressed. He 
occasionally vomited, and swallowed with difficulty. It struck 
me when 1 first saw him as being a case of rabies, although I 
did not consider it a very marked one ; but my father thought it 
a case of partial paralysis, which might have been induced by a 
blow on the head or some internal lesion. One side of the head 
appeared rather swollen, and there was no paralysis of the mus- 
cles of the jaw ; no strabismus of the eyes ; no delirium or watch- 
ing of imaginary objects; no depraved appetite, nor any disposi- 
tion to bite unless disturbed for the purpose of treatment. 
He was bled, and an emetic administered. The bleeding ap- 
peared to relieve him at the time. 
On the next day the beforementioned symptoms were more 
intense. The respiration was more frequent ; the noise that 
attended it more evident ; the staggering was also increased, 
and the difficulty of swallowing was greater. When he lay down 
he seemed disposed to rest on his belly, and once or twice raked 
some straw under him. To-day he also barked several times, 
apparently in an involuntary manner, but did not howl. The 
oj.her symptoms, as those mentioned above, and many others
