. The diseases of the genital organs of domestic animals. Veterinary medicine. Infections of the Gravid Uterus 471 the second stage the hemorrhage is greater, the inter-pla- cental hemorrhage forces the fetal and maternal placentae apart, and the blood forces its way in great volume to every part of the uterine cavity, enveloping the fetal sac in a vast incapsulating hematoma, as shown in Fig. 166. The fetus at once perishes from asphyxia. If bacteria are present, they are non-pyogenic. After the cessation of the hemor- rhage, the blood serum is slowly absorbed and the absorption of the amniotic, allantoic, and tissue fluids gradually follows. Finally there remains a hard, dry, rigid, and distorted dark brown fetal cadaver, consisting of the dried skin, bones, and other skeletal tissues with a thin parchment-like membrane.

The cervical canal remains sealed; the corpus luteum of pregnancy sinks into the center of the ovary (em- bedded corpus luteum) there to remain indefinitely, usually as a permanent inhibitory force preventing the expulsion of the desiccated cadaver, and inhibiting ovulation and estrum. This is observed mostly in heifers. Since the animal has been bred and estrum does not recur, pregnancy is assumed. If the hemorrhage occurs late in pregnancy, the patient shows the abdominal enlargement of pregnancy and the fetus may be recognizable by ballotte-.
