. Special pathology and therapeutics of the diseases of domestic animals. Veterinary medicine. 702 tion of the animals may be re- markably good for a long time. These disturbances manifest themselves in the loss of the nor- mal gloss and smoothness of the haircoat, the elasticity of the skin, gradual emaciation and ex- cessive anemia as indicated by the decided paleness of the visi- ble mucous membranes. The body temperature is subject to constant fluctuations. At times the temperature may rapidly approach or exceed 39° to 40° C, but it returns to the normal after a few days or weeks, again undergoing a rise after a few days, weeks, or months (see Fig. 120). These fluctuations are observed much more frequently in work horses than in animals that are permitted to rest much. According to Eckert the amount of fibrin in the blood steadily increases toward the termination of the disease while the hemoglobin slightly dimin- ishes, although it shows no fluc- tuations in the course of the dis- ease. Mikrukow observed a re- duction in the number of erythro- cytes and an increase in the leuco- cytes, the proportion being 1:125 near the termination of the dis- ease. The red cells showed no tendency to form rolls, they were paler than normal, greenish in color and of irregular form. Burnett & Pearce also often ob- served leucocytosis. In very sick animals heart weakness may develop, resulting in many forms of venous conges- tion (nasal mucous membrane) and being responsible, in part at least, for the edematous swell- ings of the extremities, the abdo- men and the Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Hutyra, Ferenc, 1860-1934; Marek, Jo?zsef, 1868- joint author; Mohler, John R.
