. Special pathology and therapeutics of the diseases of domestic animals. Veterinary medicine. Symptoms. 223 gangrenous process may extend deeper, affecting the muscles, while on the bridge of the nose and below tlie carpal and tarsal joints it may: extend to the bone, leading to ugly ulcerations, which continually discharge a purulent, ichorous, fetid secretion containing necrotic tissue shreds. According to Javorsky's statistics swellings on the abdomen are observed in , on the posterior extremities in , and on all 4 extremities in of the cases. The swelling impairs the physiological functions and the mobility of the affected part of the body. With the increase of the swelling of the nasal mucous membrane the res- piration becomes snuffling, and is especially difficult during the act of inspiration. The labored respira- tion is still more severe .when the swelling extends to the folds of the mucous membrane in front of the larynx, or to the mucous membrane of the larynx itself. In such cases the animals show all the indications of an inspiratory dyspnoea (anxious look, whistling or rattling respira- tion, spreading of the legs, forced ex- tension of the thorax, with the intercostal spaces sunken in) and with further progress of the stenosis asphyxiation may result. The great swelling of the forehead renders the motion of the" jaws and with it mastication more difficult, while the infiltra- tion of the pharyngeal mucous membrane and of its underlying connective tissue interferes with deglutition, so that in severe cases the animals are unable to take nourishment, although their appetite is not impaired, or they succeed only with great effort in swallowing small quantities of food or a little water. The swelling of the extremities interferes more or less with the gait of the animals. At first and even later in mild cases,. Fig. 41. Purpura hemorrhagica.
