All manner of symptoms may precede those showing involvement of the heart, depending upon the location of the foreign body and Page 12 8 matches n, in making his diagnosis, is aided by both subjective and objective symptoms, but the veterinary physician, in a very large majority of cases, is obliged to rely almost solely upon Page 13 8 matches d, or capillary bronchitis when the trouble is in the smaller ones. _Symptoms._--Loss of appetite, elevation of temperature, generally 104∞ or 105∞ F. The inspiration is incomplete, Page 14 23 matches is often studied in two divisions--the cerebrospinal division and the sympathetic division. The cerebrospinal division consists of the brain and spinal cord, nerves, and ganglia. The Page 15 9 matches araplegia, or paralysis of the rear part of the body, is the dominant symptom in congestion or inflammation of the spinal cord. The cause is not known, but the disease is probably due Page 16 5 matches of a catheter is an operation which demands special skill. _General symptoms of urinary disorders._--These are not so prominent in cattle as in horses, yet they are of a similar kin Page 17 4 matches nstration that they were the cause of disease. In certain cases the _symptoms_ of nephritis are very manifest, and in others so hidden that the existence of the affection can be cert Page 19 6 matches of health. This classification affords no guide to their location or symptoms, as calculi of the same chemical composition may be formed at any part of the urinary passages, as those Page 20 6 matches small, pulpy magma by which the bladder is considerably distended. _Symptoms._--The symptoms of stone in the bladder may be absent until one of the masses escapes into the urethra, Page 22 2 matches m some of the abdominal organs (womb, bowel, liver, stomach, etc.). _Symptoms._--The symptoms are those of pregnancy, which may be suddenly complicated by inflammation (peritonitis), Page 23 5 matches tural result, followed by abortion. _Treatment._--Although the first symptoms of abortion have appeared, it does not follow that it will go on to completion.

The symptoms in such case are paleness of the eyes, nose, mouth, and of the lips of the vulva, a weak, rapid pulse, v Page 31 5 matches ble as this at the time of parturition so as to cause inflammation. _Symptoms._--The main symptom is the glairy, white discharge flowing constantly or intermittently (when the cow li Page 32 7 matches reflex nervous derangement proceeding from the udder to the brain. _Symptoms._--It may be said that there are two extreme types of this disease, with intervening grades. In both for Page 34 2 matches or badly housed or when either she or the fetus has been diseased. _Symptoms._--The symptoms vary. With the chain-form germs (streptococci) the navel becomes intensely red, with a v Page 35 8 matches no tendency to abscesses of the internal organs. Diarrhea is a common symptom, and death ensues early, the blood after death being found unclotted. Complicated cases are common, and Page 36 5 matches contagion and to prove a veritable plague in a herd or a district. _Symptoms._--The symptoms of a diarrhea may appear so promptly after birth as to lead to the idea that the cause a Page 37 3 matches ts for their own growth and for the nourishment of their offspring. _Symptoms._--In marked cases there is a gradual emaciation and symptoms of gastrointestinal catarrh, with depraved Page 38 3 matches in which other structures surrounding the bones are injured. GENERAL SYMPTOMS OF FRACTURE.--When a fracture of one or more of the large bones of a limb occurs, symptoms are sure to b Page 39 10 matches . Bloody discharges from the mouth and failure to eat or ruminate are symptoms most likely to attract attention. The treatment is simple and consists in first removing detached piece Page 40 6 matches production of rheumatism, but the specific cause is as yet unknown. _Symptoms of articular rheumatism._--The symptoms appear suddenly and with varying degrees of severity. The animal Page 41 1 match her developed, by the fluctuation which is present. When any of these symptoms are absent, the suppuration should be encouraged by the means of hot fomentations and poultices.

It is not a disease, only a sensation, and therefore a symptom. It is one of the symptoms accompanying the majority of the diseases which we will consider in this chapt Page 45 8 matches elop a most obstinate and widespread eczema, beginning on the legs. _Symptoms._--In accordance with the variety of symptoms during the progress of the disease we may divide it into d Page 46 5 matches ses._--It may arise spontaneously or follow a scar after an injury. _Symptoms._--Kelis generally appears below the knee or hock, and may occur singly or in numbers.

If gastrointestinal symptoms predominate, acute gastric catarrh or inflammation of the intestines might be thought of. Involvement of Page 55 11 matches outbreak of the disease and one can only surmise as to its origin. _Symptoms._--Three forms of the disease are recognized, based upon the distribution of the lesions--the superficia Page 56 3 matches that a given animal has rabies, since the symptoms given above belong in part to a variety of other diseases, among which may be mentioned the excitement s Page 57 3 matches 9 Tuberculosis of the sexual organs alone 3 _Symptoms._--The beginning of the disease usually passes unnoticed, inasmuch as it is very slow and insidious and Page 58 1 match be made of an animal which does not give a reaction but which shows symptoms indicating that, notwithstanding the test, it may suffer from tuberculosis.

When these symptoms appear the medicine may be suspended for a few days and afterward resumed in the same dose.

Infection by way of digestive tract is also probable. _Symptoms and lesions._--The symptoms of blackleg may be either of a general or of a local nature, though more fre Page 65 14 matches ches observed on the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. _Symptoms._--Necrotic stomatitis is both a local and a systemic affection. Primarily it is local. The local lesion Page 66 6 matches soft and jellylike, while the margin is tense, hot, and painful. The symptoms increase rapidly, resulting in coma and death. _Lesions._--After death the fat and subcutaneous tissues Page 68 1 match m, or spring from which any person or domestic animal may drink. The symptoms of arsenical poisoning are rather variable and also depend on the size of the dose and the method of adm Page 69 5 matches edia or in reproducing the disease by injecting experiment animals. _Symptoms._--Probably the first symptom noticed is that the animal is losing condition despite the fact that its a Page 72 5 matches p, goats, and other ruminants may also be infested with it. Among the symptoms caused by this parasite may be mentioned anemia, loss of flesh, general weakness, dullness, capricious a Page 73 6 matches ly discussed above (see p. 527).
