The inguinal canal of the dog is located in the abdominal muscleswith the seminal cord, and runs from the testicles into the abdominalcavity. In the bitch we find a round ligament from the end of the Fallo-pian tube toward the subcutis. Inguinal hernia may be produced by a 388 HERNIAL RUPTURE portion of the intestine passing from the abdominal cavity into theinguinal canal. If this is the case in the dog, and the loop of the intestinegoes as far as the scrotum, we call it scrotal hernia. If it simply lies inthe canal, it is called inguinal hernia.
