Malig-nant Tumours of the Vagina. In the vagina of the bitch one frequently meets with a species of ulcerating contagious venereal tumour which is communicable to the male when the animals are used for stud purposes.^ If neglected, these tumours grow very large, causing an offensive, foetid, and con- tinuous discharge. To effect their removal, the knife and curette must be used freely, the parts having been anaesthetized by cocaine solution or the animal placed under chloroform (see Chapter IV.). If imperfectly removed, the return of the growth is usually rapid, and the animal may become valueless for breeding pur- poses; as a rule, an old dog will not mate with a bitch suffering from these tumours. Their vascularity is much increased at time of oestrum.^ Operation. — For their permanent removal it is essential that an area of mucous membrane shall be excised around the edges of the growth. This is done under an ' Unrecorded. ^' Smith and Washbourn, Journal of Coiiipurntivf Patliology and Therapeutics, vol. xi., p. 41. ^ This tumour is indistinguishable in microscopical structure from a sarcoma, and is now classified as a granuloma (Report of the Imperial Cancer Research Fund, Part IL, 1905). 19 2.
