The animal is rarely in good con- dition and is generally emaciated, with a lustreless coat. When the adhesions are quite extensive the movements of the animal are careful, hesitant and stiff. The back is fre- quently arched. Clinical examination by palpation through the rectum dis- closes adhesions of the uterus, oviducts and ovaries to the pelvic walls, rectum, bladder, rumen, or other adjacent structures. It is essential to accurate diagnosis that trac- tion be applied to the cervix with the uterine forceps. This affords the examiner a definite base (the cervix) from which to extend palpation, and the tension brings out, if such re- sult is possible, the contour of the diseased uterus. Depend- ing upon the degree of adhesion, the nature of the lesions.
