If, however, it has stuck lower down, the probang, first suggested by Monro, is used, as described in the Veterinarian's Vade Mecum. The annexed fig. 31 a, shews the shape of a pro- bang, which is hollow, in order to allow of the escape of the gas con- tained in the paunch, so soon as the latter is penetrated.

Sometimes we have known a cov,'- feeder pass the handle of his whip or a stifl' cart rope, down the gullet of a cow, to thrust onwards a bit of turnip. Care should always be taken not to lacerate the oesoihagus, and some- times with a little patience the obstacle is removed, without much Fi„. 31.
