Differential count: 
Neutrophiles . 58 per cent 
Lymphocytes, large . 6 per cent 
Lymphocytes, small . 34 per cent 
Mast cells . 2 per cent 
Eosinophiles . None 
Hemaglobin . 75 per cent 
The hemaglobin remains normal and the eosinophiles disappear. There is 
an increase of the neutrophiles at the expense of the lymphocytes. There is 
a total decrease of the leucocytes and an apparent increase of the erythrocytes. 
Urine Study. It was not possible to secure urine for examination before 
death. At autopsy a small quantity was collected through the natural pas¬ 
sage by gentle pressure on the bladder. By the observance of this precaution, 
albumin from the peritoneal cavity cannot get into the urine. The result of 
the analysis is as follows: 
Physical examination : 
Transparency—Cloudy. 
Specific gravity—1012. 
Chemical examination: 
Reaction—Alkaline. 
Sugar—None. 
Albumin—Trace. 
Phosphates—Present. 
Chlorides—Present. 
Sulphates—Present. 
Carbonates—Present. 
The excretion of chlorides, sulphates, and phosphates was normal and the 
presence of albumin alone can be regarded as an abnormality. 
Protocol. The carcass presents the appearance of a normal lamb, there 
being no palpable lymph glands nor cutaneous and subcutaneous lesions. 
The Thoracic Cavity. —The lungs are pale salmon pink in color and collapse 
when the thorax is opened. Neither pleuritis, pneumonia, nor bronchitis are 
noted. There is an excessive amount of liquid in the thoracic cavity. 
The Heart— The heart is pale, flabby, and small petechiations are noted at 
the base along the coronary arteries. A small quantity of dark coagulated 
blood is found in the auricles, whereas the ventricles are empty. There is 
no antemortem clot. 
The Abdominal Cavity. —There is no abnormal quantity of liquid in the 
peritoneal cavity. The intestines appear normal. There are no stomach 
worms in the abomasum and nodular disease and peritonitis are not present. 
The Spleen is normal. 
The Liver. —The liver is yellowish and when examined closely, the nutmeg 
appearance is found to be present. The liver is so gorged with blood that it 
drips from the sectioned surface. The gall bladder is full. 
The Bladder contains a small quantity of cloudy urine and is slightly in¬ 
jected. 
The Kidneys. —The kidneys have a metallic appearance. Active and pas¬ 
sive congestion are present. The sectioned surface is pale, indicating cloudy 
swelling.
