. Common diseases of farm animals. Veterinary medicine. 208 SURGICAL DISEASES involving muscles, tendons and bursiv nsnally cause lameness, and when involving a special organ, interfere with, or destroy, its function. Extensive or serious wounds may be followed by loss of appetite. An abnormal body temperature and other symptoms characteristic of the different forms of blood poison- ing may follow infection of the injured tissues by certain germs. The rapidity with which wounds heal depends upon the kind of tissue injured and the amount to be replaced, the degree of motion in the part, the kind and degree of infec- tion and irritation and the general condition of the ani- mal. In general, skin and muscles heal rapidly, tendons slowly, cartilages unsatisfac- torily and nerve tissue very. slowlv Healing is greatly interfered with by movement of the part (Fig. 59). The more nearly the part can be fixed or rested, the more quickly and satisfactorily does healing occur. Irritation by biting, nibbling, licking, bandaging, wrong methods of treatment, and filth retard healing and may result in serious wound complications. An animal in poor physical condition, or one kept under unfavor- able conditions for healing, cannot recover from the injury rapidly or satisfactorily.
