FATTY TUMOR ON THE PENIS OF A DONKEY. 
By the Same. 
The patient was a Government Italian donkey stallion, and 
had been out during the covering season in a very remote districi 
of the Punjab. The history of the case appears to be that f 
small ulcer formed on the dorsum of the penis “ probably aggra 
vated by dirt,” and had been treated by a native salootrie. What 
the nature of this treatment was is unknown, but I think some 
irritant dressing, in which oil of turpentine was one of the cliiel 
ingredients, was used. This happened some time in the beginning 
of April, and the animal was sent in to the Lahore Veterinary 
School for treatment on the 2d of May. The donkey was ther 
in good condition, the penis was pendulous, hanging out from the 
sheath as if drawn down by the weight of the tumor, which wae 
the size of a tennis ball and situated on the dorsum surface at tlif 
base of the glans, on which and at the opening of the urethra 
canal were several small pitted ulcers with rounded pale eolorec 
edges. The tumor was operated on May 8th, being flrst secured 
by acupuncture with a seton needle, and then removed by a Ion 
gitudinal incision. It was distinctly fatty in nature and there wat 
little or no hemorrhage. There was a considerable amount ol 
oedema and swelling. The whole of the organ was supported in 
a sling till the 2ith. The case did well, the ulcer on the glam 
and the wound caused by the removal of the tumor healed up. 
and the penis regained its natural flaccid condition. As far a8 
my experience goes, donkey stallions especially are liable to these 
fatty tumors on the penis. I have seen three other cases in Span¬ 
ish and Italian donkeys used by the Government in India foi 
mule breeding, but that I have just described is the only one ol 
which I have any notes.—( Quarterly of Veterinary Science v>
