The VetcTinary Journal
in front of the external ang'e of the ilium, which on manipUlation gave the typical impression of a black-leg lesion. . For treatment some normal saline solution with tincture of iodine was injected into the swelling at several points. The patient died on the same day. TWO INTERESTING UTERINE CASES By M. DUGDILL, M.R.e.v.s., Patrington, Hull.
CASE I.-I was called to see a cow which had been in pain for several hours before I was called in. Upon vaginal examination I found it impossible to introduce more than one finger, and I could feel a distinct twist. I cast the animal and had the body rolled over whilst I kept my hand and arm in the vagina, but at first I could make no impression. Having little help, I left the womb to itself and helped with the ropes. After swinging her to and fro several times we turned her sharply over, and I then found that I could introduce my hand ea~ily. It was a pleasant surprise, and the calf was delivered alive without further trouble. CASE I I.-Sow, everted uterus, seven miles away. Sunday evening; not a pleasant job. On arrival found animal had ruptured organ rubbing against wall of sty. Put on double ligature and amputated. Sow made good recovery, brought up seven young pigs and was fed . Unfortunately did not see carcase when killed, as animal was sent to market. IMPERFORATE ANUS IN PIGS By L, J. KELLY, F.R.C.V.S., Ballybrophy, Queen's County, Ireland.
CASE I.-The subject was a young male pig, fourteen days old. The owner had noticed him much swollen since a few days previously and requested my attention. On examination it was observed that there was no anal opening. Without much difficulty an artificial opening was made and the patient did well. The length of time which elapsed between birth and the first passage of fceces renders the case of sufficient interest to record. CASE II.- The subject was a young female pig. When about three weeks old the attendant observed that fceces were passed through the vulva, there being no other natural opening. The animal was apparently in good health and as strong as others in the litter. Surgical interference was not deemed advisable. When ten weeks old the subject was sold as a "sucker" with the remainder of the litter and lost for further observation,
