708 DILATATION OF RIGHT VENTRICLE OF HEART. 
Healthy pus was formed about the third day, without 
much swelling taking place. The urine passed partly 
through the wound and partly through the natural channel, 
until the wound was completely healed, which took place 
gradually. 
The calculus weighed ^iij avoirdupois, was of a conical 
shape, the base being anteriorly placed, flattened, and very 
rough on its surface. It was a very large one for so young 
and small an animal. He left my establishment the latter 
part of the month; and going past the owner’s a few days 
since, I called to see him, when I noticed that he still voided 
the urine as he did prior to the operation, but not so fre¬ 
quently. I have therefore my fears if he will ever perfectly 
recover. 
DILATATION OF THE RIGHT VENTRICLE OF 
THE HEART, ACCOMPANIED WITH A FIBRI¬ 
NOUS TUMOUR WHICH NEARLY FILLED ITS 
CAVITY. 
By W. Furnivall, M.R.C.V.S., Kington. 
May l6th, I860, at 2 p.m., I was requested by Mr. 
Robinson, of Hawkswood Farm, to attend on a four-year-old 
brown cart mare, which the waggoner reported to have been 
taken unwell at 9 a.m. 
On my arrival I found she had been bled, and two anti- 
spasmodic draughts given her, but which had afforded no 
relief. 
Symptoms .—The visible mucous membranes injected; ex¬ 
tremities alternately hot and cold; bowels relaxed; urine scanty 
and high coloured ; tremor of the anterior pectoral muscles, and 
also of those clothing the arm ; body of normal temperature ; 
pulse intermitting, accompanied with a peculiar spasmodic 
jerking of the heart, detectable by auscultation; respira¬ 
tion quick and deep, and indications of severe pain, appa¬ 
rently located in the abdomen. The animal appeared as if 
afraid to move, but shortly laid down. In doing so she rested 
her hind quarters firmly on the ground ere she attempted to 
lower the fore legs, which she did carefully and slowly, ac¬ 
companied with a loud grunt; when down, she reclined at 
once on the right side. 
Diagnosis .—Diseased heart.
