INFLAMMATION OF THE BLADDER.

Inflammation of the bladder generally accompanies inflammation of the
kidneys, though it is sometimes found disconnected and alone. It is
occasionally caused by calculous concretions in the bladder,--which
should be removed,--causing very acute abdominal pain to the animal. She
makes frequent efforts to stale, passing but a few drops of urine at a
time. The pulse is full and rapid; mouth clammy; nose dry; eyes
bloodshot; appetite lost; moaning, and walking with a staggering gait.

_Treatment._--Inject into the bladder one quart of tepid water, and from
one to two ounces of tincture of opium mixed together. Give internally
one of the following powders every hour until relieved; nitrate of
potassa, one ounce; tartrate of antimony, and pulverized digitalis
leaves, each one drachm; mix, and divide into six powders. Mucilaginous
draughts should be freely given.

Rupture of the bladder sometimes occurs, but there are no symptoms by
which it may be known; and, if there were, no service could be rendered
in the way of repairing the injury; the animal must die.

INFLAMMATION OF THE HAW.

The ox, like the horse, has a membrane of semilunar form in the inner
corner of the eye, which is capable of being thrown over the entire
eyeball, for the purpose of cleansing the eye from any foreign substance
which may get into it. This membrane is commonly called the haw, and is
susceptible of attacks of inflammation, which cause it to swell,
frequently even closing up the eye.

_Treatment._--Give a dose of physic, and, if the animal is plethoric,
extract a little blood from the vein on the same side as the affected
eye. Apply to the eye either of the following washes: tincture of opium,
one ounce; rain-water, one pint; or, tincture of aconite, one drachm, to
one pint of water. Bathe two or three times a day.

INFLAMMATION OF THE KIDNEYS.

This disease--sometimes called nephritis--occurs occasionally in cattle
in consequence of their eating bad or unwholesome food, or of the abuse
of diuretics, etc.

The symptoms are very insidious in their approach. The loins are very
tender upon pressure; the urine is voided in small quantities. As the
disease advances, the symptoms become more marked and acute. The animal
is dull, and feeds daintily; the evacuation of urine is attended with
increased pain, and the urine is highly colored and bloody; the no
