. Bovine obstetrics. Veterinary obstetrics. 130 BOVINE OBSTETRICS Weber tells of a case of maceration where adhesions between the uterus and abomasum took place. The latter wis probably perforated by a macerated bone, as a consequence of which food was found in the uterus. In the cow, cases of maceration are, as a rule, followed by a purulent metritis and parametritis,—even adhesions,—but expulsion of the foetus through abnormal passages must be rare. It is the rule that the bones are evacuated via the cervical canal, or that the patient dies before it can occur with Fig, 18.—Macerat

Symptoms.—'^oyv and then a small amount of thick pus is discharged from the vagina, so that the owner, imagining the animal not to be pregnant, thinks of leucorrhoea. While the pus is evacuated, bones are also discharged, sometimes lying in the vagina, amidst a purulent mass, days and weeks. The whole process may persist for a long time, months may pass, before the whole of the macerated mass is expelled (Franck). In most cases, while offering such symptoms, the cow emaciates some, but seems healthy otherwise, eats well, rumin- ates and gives a fair amount of milk. Straining is only occa-.
