they were unable to reduce it, and it was out for three days 
before I was called. They had also been feeding the animal 
on chop feed and she was very constipated. The heifer was 
kept in a barn at night with a floor sloping back, which also 
kept the case aggravated. I cleansed the vagina with luke¬ 
warm carbolized water, and as it still kept on bleeding quite 
freely, and she strained violently, I gave her a hypodermic in¬ 
jection of morphia, grs. iii, and used a solution of tannic acid 
and opium on the vagina before replacing it ; after replacing 
it I sewed up the lips of her vulva, leaving an opening below 
for the passage of urine, and left a solution of tannic acid and 
opium to inject into the cavity several times daily ; also gave 
her ol. lini, Oiss, and gave her enemas, after replacing the 
rectum, which stayed all right without further interference, 
and ordered her fed on mashes and grass. In several days I 
was called again as the heifer was straining some. I found 
her down, acting as if labor had commenced, so I removed 
the stitches and made an examination and found that she was 
making preparation, and with a little assistance, she delivered 
a fine heifer calf. Alter removing the foetal membranes I 
washed the uterus and vagina out with a solution of pot. per¬ 
manganate and replaced vagina, which had come out again, 
and sewed up her vulva. Kept on using the astringent wash 
for a few days. I heard from her in about one month ; she 
was all right and giving a good supply of milk.
