A text-book of veterinary obstetrics : including the diseases and accidents incidental to pregnancy, parturition and early age in the domesticated animals . , are a source of uneasiness and pain to the animal. 38 594 ACCIDEXTS AFTEB PARTUPJTIOX. Bandages or Trusses.—To dispense with the inconveniences of thepessary and suture, the bandage or truss has been proposed and exten-sively employed ; and in the great majority of cases of uterine inversion,it should be adopted in preference to the other methods of retention. The truss or bandage may be composed of cords, surcingles, leather,canvas, etc., which are so arranged and disposed as to make pressureupon the sides of the vulva, and, by keeping it closed, prevent the ex-trusion of the uterus without interfering with defecation or micturition. There are several kinds of truss in use, and these vary somewhat intheir details, though in principle they are the same. Some of them arefixed around the shoulders and neck, others round the chest only, andothers, again, round both regions—most frequently to a collar or will be made to those which are recognised as most Fig. Truss applied. Two of the most useful and readily-made trusses are composed oflight rope or thick cord—something like a clothes-line. One of theseis termed Delwarts Truss, and is formed by cords united by a loopin their middle, in such a manner that an oval space (a, Fig. 214)sufficient to admit the vulva, and compress it laterally, is formed—theinferior commissure being left free, to allow the escape of urine, anduterine discharges, should there be any. The two portions of one ofthe cords {b b) passing over the back, are secured to a collar or bandround the neck or chest; while those of the other cord (c c) pass betweenthe thighs, and are tied to the lower part of the collar or surcingle, inthe manner depicted in Fig. 215. The loop may be wrapped in tow orcloth, to prevent chafing to the parts under the tail
