Pyemia 817 inflammation, chiefly in the joints. The foal is seen appar- ently well, and two or three hours later is found breathing rapidly, greatly dejected, lying down most of the time and, when caused to rise or helped up, is unable or unwilling to bear weight upon a limb. The lameness may shift to another limb very abruptly or may visibly affect one or more joints in two or more members. The appetite is diminished or de- stroyed. The involved articulations are swollen, hot and painful. The synovial sac is tightly distended with reddish synovia, which may later become purulent. Pyemic ab- scesses may develop in any organ or tissue. Pyemic arthritis is commonly associated with alimentary. Fig. 232—Abscess of Umbilic Vein and Artery. Foal.

Unless the course of the disease is interrupted by vigorous medical interfer- ence, it is highly mortal. Almost all severe cases arising within two or three days after birth are fatal. Many are left with disabling joint lesions. The lesions vary widely. When the invasion occurs through the umbilicus, especially when aggravated by liga- tion of the umbilic stump, prominent lesions of the umbilic arteries and veins are probable, as shown in Fig. 232. When these vessels become involved, the urachus ordinarily par- 52.
