PARALYSIS OF THE BLADDER. This condition may be caused by the urine not being passedfreely, the bladder not emptying itself during the passage. The DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS. 423 bladder being thus continually distended with urine, becomesenlarged, resulting in paralysis. The symptoms are those of suprpression and retention, and can only be correctly diagnosed byan examination per rectum. The bladder may be injected withwarm water, and the animal be put on a course of nerve stimu-lants. Nux vomica, in drachm doses, may be given. The condi-tion is incurable, however, if of long AZOTURIA. Azoturia belongs to the class of dietetic diseases, and consistsof a hyper-nitrogenous condition of the blood and system, gen-erally due to overfeeding and want of exercise. Causes.—There is no doubt that a super-abundance of albu-men is contained in the blood, and that by increased exercise thealbumen is formedwith urea and hip-puric acid. Theblood being over-loaded, throws agreat tax on the kid-neys in excreting thedeleterious sub-stances. Whereverthe disease is metwith, the history ofthe case reveals thatthe horse, after working regularly, was rested for several daysor a week, then hooked up and started on the road. The animalis said to have driven freely and more spirited than usual. Aftergoing three or four miles he was seized on the road. I havenever seen a case that was not produced in this manner. Thedisease exists more frequently in some localities than other
