574 ACUTE INFLAMMATION OF THE LUNGS IN SHEEP. 
move—has laid down in the night, and this morning for some time. 
Treatment as before. 
24^A. —The medicine has taken the desired effect—the pulse is 
more regular—he moves about more—very little discharge from the 
nose—rumination has returned—he lies down very composedly— 
the eye not at all clouded. Medicine as before. * 
25/A. —Very much better—feeds—ruminates—lies down—walks 
about, but very weak. I ordered small doses of gentian and gin¬ 
ger, in chamomile tea, every morning and evening. 
I did not hear of him for three weeks after this, when I was 
informed that he had perfectly recovered, and that Mr. Powell 
would not sell him for a hundred pounds. I saw him a few weeks 
ago, in perfect health and in most beautiful condition. 
Case II.—This was a tup of the same breed, and belonging to 
the same gentleman. 
June Wth .—I was sent for to attend to a tup as quickly as pos¬ 
sible ; for the shepherd informed me that he was as bad, if not 
worse than the one which I had attended in the winter. On my 
arrival, I found the man was not wrong in his opinion; for of all 
the sheep I ever witnessed labouring under inflammatory disease, 
this was in the most distressing state. The countenance was expres¬ 
sive of great suffering—an oppressed pulse—great and most offen¬ 
sive discharge from the nose—violent cough—cessation of rumina¬ 
tion—great heaving of the flanks—a staggering walk—respiration 
much disturbed. 
I bled most freely, and gave a brisk purge, with injections, gruel, 
&c. Three hours afterwards I found his breathing much worse. 
I opened the vein, and abstracted three ounces more blood, and 
gave half an ounce of salts with powdered digitalis, in warm 
gruel. I also inserted setons in the chest, and left him for the 
night. 
In the morning I found him a little improved, but still in a most 
dangerous state. The medicine had acted very slightly. I gave 
half an ounce of salts with the sedative. Continue the injections 
and gruel for three days. 
14ifA. —I was informed that the tup was better, but his breathing 
continued very short. On my entering the barn, I saw him attempt 
to lie down, but he started up again. He then suddenly rested him¬ 
self on his knees, then sprung up once more, with his feet as wide 
apart as possible: there he stood heaving and panting as if he had 
been driven for a long distance. 
On examination, I found that he had purged a little—the pulse 
was still very quick—the mouth very hot—a nauseous discharge 
from the nose—a clouded eye—the greatest unwillingness to move 
—the setons discharging well. I gave more salts, with the digi-
