Gray^ had a similar experience with a very fat, small fox-terrier bitch, ten years old, digital examination per vaginam revealing a calculus. Fig. 168.—Thompson's Evacuator. as large as a marble in the urethra, and upon manipulating it with one tinger in the rectum and one in the vagina, seven small calculi, each about the size of a tare, shot out.
