WORMS IN THE APPENDIX OF A PUPPY. i 
By N. B. Rhodes, D.V.S., Tampa, Florida. ; 
I send you by outgoing express a specimen of what has the | 
appearance of a case of appendicitis in a dog. As I have never 
found a description of such a condition in the dog, will you ; 
kindly make examination and report the result through the 
Review. 
The history of the case is as follows : A Mr. Morris, of this 1 
city, brought to my hospital a very handsome pointer puppy of, : 
perhaps, four months of age. The little fellow was suffering ^ 
from distemper, with the upper portion of the lungs affected ; 
temperature 104.2° F., respiration difficult, with occasional j 
light rigor, head and ears drooping, eyes red and watery, 
stomach distended and sore. The owner informed me that he : 
had not evacuated his bowels during the previous twenty-four i 
hours, and that he had given him two ounces of castor oil the ? 
previous night (I saw the little fellow early in the morning). •, 
I covered his lungs and chest with oiled silk and light flannel, | 
gave him a good steaming, put him on acetanilid and hi- j 
sulphate quinine every two hours, and one drop tincture aco- f 
nite every four hours, and repeated warm water enemas, which, | 
however, failed me up to 10 P. M., when an injection of glyce- ij 
rill had the desired effect, when I left him for the night.
