Complete Eversion of the Uterus in a Small Pomeranian Bitch

The Veterinary Journal .
The case quoted is the first I have experienced where the tip alone could not be re,duced. Discussing the matter with some professional friends I gathered that some had never encountered the condition ; while others had met with one or two cases at most, all of which proved fatal. The cow in question has proved to be an exception, for to spite us all, she has survived and now promises to become a useful barren. May not this condition ina modified form occur oftener than we realise. The tip of the horn may become inverted, but kept within bounds by the contracted os. Thus these cases of persistent straining may arise which so often terminate fatally.
COMPLETE EVERSION OF THE UTERUS IN A SMALL POMERANIAN BITCH. By HERBERT BUCKINGHAM, M. R.C.V.S., Norwich. ABOUT II.30 p.m. on June loth, I was requested to examine a small . Pomeranian bitch with complete eversion of both cornua of the womb. The everted portion was nearly black, very much swollen, and very friable; in appearance it was like two small lemons suspended by a short thick neck. She had bitten almost through the end of one of the cornua, leaving only the peritoneum intact, the wound being about the size of a five-shilling piece. The other horn had also b een lacerated, although not quite so deeply, or so large, as the first one. I was told that she had had two dead puppies at four a'clock that afternoon. Her general condition was good and after half an hour's manipulation I managed to replace the womb into the abdominal cavity. I then dressed the parts with an antiseptic and administered a full dose of chlorodyne as a sedative, placing a couple of sutures across the vaginal orifice. These were removed on the 14th and the subsequent recovery was uninterrupted.

AN interesting case of tge above condition came to my notice a short time ago in a subject-a Dorking hen- which was intended for use in the dissecting room. In preparing the subject and plucking away the feathers over the ventral abdominal wall a peculiar, rather hard, swelling (A) with pointed extremity was found to proj ect half an inch outwards from beneath the skin immediately behind and below the position of the
