Papilloma in the Bladder of a Mare
Papilloma in the Bladder of a Mare

Symptoms.-After coming in from work the animal suddenly started shaking its head violently, climbing into the manger, and behaving much as a horse with "staggers." When called in I was informed that the horse had gone mad, and I found the animal lying on the ground. Pulse slow and full, and breathing stertorous. Pupil very dilated and reflex absent. Temperature 105 ° F. Condition alternating between coma and violent struggling with muscular contraction, during which considerable injuries were self-infEcted. Seeing that treatment was useless I destroyed the animal, and a post-mortem examination re vealed bilateral psammoma as seen at A and B in photograph.
