Lipoma in a Terrier. —W. got an order to poison a 
terrier. After death he noticed a fluctuating swelling in the 
abdomen which he nevertheless diagnosticated as a tumor. On 
autopsy he found a tumor, originating in. the mesentery and 
filling up the greater part of the abdomen. It was surrounded 
by a very thin capsule which separated the tumor effectually 
from the surrounding organs. The tumor had a pedicle ; the cap¬ 
sule was well supplied with capillaries. Parts of the tumor had 
undergone mucoid degeneration. The dog weighed 20 lbs.; 
the lipoma 4^ lbs.— {Deutsche Thierzart. Woch.) 
Uremia in a Dog. —A three-year-old dog urinated with 
difficulty, collapse was present, surface cold, and the belly prom¬ 
inent from distention of the bladder. It was impossible to in¬ 
troduce a sound into the bladder. An incision into the per¬ 
ineum and the insertion of a strong catheter into the bladder 
gave vent to issuance of 4 litres of bloody, dark-colored urine. Im¬ 
provement set in, the coma subsiding as a result of the urinary re¬ 
tention. The author found three calculi, which were removed by 
another incision. Of the two wounds one healed quickly, the 
urethral incision, however, remained fistulous and after two 
months urination was as difficult as ever. A sound could with 
difficulty be passed through the fistula, but after introduction a 
fracture of the end of the penis bone could be detected, one por¬ 
tion of which had become detached and needed removal. Beyond 
this the sound detected in the depth of the urethral fistula a cica¬ 
trization of the urethra. The only thing was to incise this with 
scissors and remove the detached bone. This was done, no 
more calculi found, and after retraction of the wound a cure re¬ 
sulted. The urine thereafter issued from the fistulous opening 
behind the os penis.— {Deutsche Thierzart. Woch.) 
ENGLISH REVIEW. 
Interesting Fractures. —In the Veterinary Record of 
September, we find accounts of fractures of the ossa suffra- 
ginis and of the pelvic bone. In the first the injury to the pas¬ 
tern was such that sixty separate' pieces of bone were counted 
after boiling. This might give the' impression that the cause 
of the injury had been very violent, but such was not the case. 
The animal was merely exercised; getting frightened, he made
