A cow requires a larger fleam than the horse, and as thereare two jugulars on each side of the neck of the cow it is notpossible to sufficiently raise the external one with the finger; itbecomes necessary to tie a cord tightly round the neck so as tocause distension of the vein, the cord to be removed after asufficient quantity of blood has been removed. Local blood-letting is performed upon the inflamed part,or as near to it as possible, and the object is speedily tounload the engorged blood-vessels. It may be done byscarification, incision, or puncture. In conjunctivitis, for. PHLEBOTOMY. (Ia^;e 70.) TREATMENT OF INFLAMMATION. 71 example, it may be drawn from the vessels of the inflamedpart by scarifying the inner surface of the eyelids, or byopening the angular vein. In inflammatory disease of the foot,any quantity can be obtained by puncturing the coronaryplexus of veins. When general blood-letting from the jugular is practised, theanimals head should be elevated, and a full stream of bloodallowed to flow from a sufficiently large orifice in the this be done, a smaller amount of blood drawn will make amuch greater impression on the pulse than when the orifice inthe vein is small, the blood flowing in a trickling stream, andthe head depressed. The question of a second blood-letting remains to be con-sidered. If the blood flows freely from the vein during thefirst bleeding, and if the animal stands a full blood-letting,say from five to seven quarts, without manifesting symptomsof syncope by sighi
