RUPTURE OF THE RECTUM IN A THOROUGHBRED BROOD MARE. 
By A. J. Maooallum, M. lt.C.V.S. 
An urgent messenger came for me on the evening of March 4, 
requesting me to at once visit a thoroughbred mare belonging to 
a client of mine (Mr. Y—) of B.B. which was said to have been 
ill for four or five hours, and suffering great pain. I went off im¬ 
mediately to the place, which was about four miles away. On 
my arrival I learned that the mare was nine months gone in preg¬ 
nancy ; had been in her usual health till about midday, when she 
was noticed getting up and down and seemingly in pain. Think¬ 
ing she was only slightly griped they took little notice at first.
