Pulmonary Tuberculosis in a Cat
ABSTRACTS AND REPORTS.
their consistence was firm, and they ended by undergoing softening, owing to the formation of pus of a variable consistence. The animals attacked otherwise retained the appearance of good health. The diagnosis of actinomycosis was at first uncertain, but it was confirmed by Professor Gratia on an examination of the pus and pieces of the tumours. The origin of the epizootic was not discovered. Vigorous measures of disinfection were practised, and the tumours treated by iodine alteratives appeared to have their development arrested.-Recueil de lIIM. Vet.
PULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS IN A CAT. HENNING, assistant at the Pathological Institute in Stuttgart, records a case of tuberculosis in a cat, in which the lesions discovered were: I. Multiple nodular tuberculous pneumonia affecting both lungs. Diffuse fibrinous tuberculous pleurisy. Tuberculous lymphadenitis. 2. Gastro-enteritis and catarrhal choledochitis. Cloudy swelling of the liver, kidneys, and myocardium. Slight hypenemic - hyperplastic enlargement of the spleen. (Edema of the brain. 3. Very advanced fatty infiltration of the renal epithelium, especially of the convoluted tubules. The diagnosis was confirmed by the discovery of tubercle bacilli in the pulmonary lesions. Inquiry made it probable that infection had been of human origin, as the cat belonged to a woman who for ten years had suffered from chest affection, with a frequent but generally dry cough, with repeated attacks of pleurisy.-Repertorilt11t fiir Tlzierheilkll1lde.
PRIMARY TUBERCULOSIS OF THE PENIS OF AN OX. AN interesting case of the above nature is placed on record by Eber. The subject of it had a short time before slaughter been castrated on account of nodular thickening of the penis, but before that it had been regularly employed as a breeding animal. A careful autopsy did not reveal the existence of any tuberculous lesions elsewhere than in the penis. In that situation the lesions were: Multiple, chronic, nodular, tuberculous hyperplasia of the mucous membrane of the inner layer of the prepuce, near the dorsal aspect of the point of the penis; chronic tuberculous hyperplasia of the connective tissue of the prepuce; chronic tuberculous hyperplasia of the connective tissue immediately surrounding the corpus cavernosum and the lymphatic glands situated in the same. The tuberculous nature of the lesions was manifest from their histological structure, but it was placed beyond any doubt by the discovery of tubercle bacilli in the newly formed tissue.-ZeitschnJt fitr Tiliermed.
EPIZOOTIC OCCURRENCE OF GANGRENOUS CEDEMA IN CATTLE AND SHEEP. FRrEHNER was called in December last to examine a calf, which according to the owner's report was swollen about the anus and vulva; but before his arrival next day the calf had died and been buried. He then learned that a calf in the same building had been killed on account of a similar affection. On the occasion of his visit he found that a third calf, nine months old, had
