HORSE No. CIV.
Bay Mare, New Zealand, aged 11 years, belonging to the Bombay Tramway Company, was purchased in March
1888 and has since done excellent work. On August 9th, 1894, she was relieved from work as she was looking thin and
out of sorts. On August 11th, the animal was suffering from fever. Temp. 40.4°C. Pulse 72. On microscopical
examination of the blood, numerous Surra hæmatozoa were discovered.
August 13th, 1894, S A.M.—The mare arrived at the Laboratory Hospital, Poona.
State on Admission.—The animal is in rather poor condition and dull, the visible mucous-membranes are injected,
the conjunctivaæ are stained a yellow colour. There are large claret-coloured extravasations involving the membranæ
nictitantes in both eyes. The skin is cool, and there is no fever present. Temp. A.M. 38.6°C. The pulse is somewhat
accelerated and easily compressible, 45 per minute. The respirations are increased in number, 25 per minute. The
extremities are fine, but there appears to be the remains of an urticarial eruption on the skin over the ribs and abdomen.
The appetite is good and the dung healthy in appearance, but the urine is passed frequently and in small quantities.
The hæmatozoa are numerous and active in the blood. The red corpuscles run together and the white are normal in
size and number.
