The danger arises from mechanical causes, and the deathof the subject, if it occur, is due to asphyxia, or horses there are very few fatal cases on record. Thereverse is the case as regards sheep. When these glands aremuch enlarged, and the animal is near or past the adult age, it18 very unsafe to attempt their removal by means of the knife;for at this stage they are highly vascular, and the arteries whichrun into them are much enlarged.
