6 A.M.—The animal was found lying, unable to rise. It was completely gorged, having eaten all its fodder, and
the greater part of its bedding. Chloroform was administered, and death took place at noon.
Autopsy 4.30 P.M.—The body is fairly well nourished, and there is a total absence of œdema from the extremities
and the under-surface of the abdomen.
Thorax.—Both pleural cavities contain a few ounces of a turbid, orange-coloured fluid, but there are no pleural
adhesions.
The lungs appear large, the apices are studded over with smooth projections of their tissue, considerably dilated
(emphysematous). The lungs, in general, are greyish in colour, but are dotted here and there with sub-pleural extra
vasations, dark purple in colour, circular in form, and varying in diameter from ⅛th to ⅓rd of an inch.
On section, the pulmonary tissues present a very dark red colour, whilst on pressure a frothy blood-stained fluid
exuded from the cut ends of the bronchial tubes.
The pericardium contains four ounces of a turbid, orange-coloured fluid.
The heart is large, and weighs 6 lbs. 14 ozs. when divested of its contents. The base is surrounded with a certain
amount of yellow gelatinous material, which also accompanies the right and left coronary vessels in their course.
There are sub-pericardial petechiæ dotted over the surface of this material, especially along the course of the coronary
vessels. The surface of the right ventricle presents a slight amount of tendinous deposite (Maculæ albidæ).
On Section.—The right auricle contains dark fluid blood. The lining membrane is pale and free from extravasations
except at the margin of the auriculo-ventricular opening, where one almost oblong in form, measuring 1" × ⅝", is observed
just over the attachment of the segment which is situated on the left side of the opening.
The right Ventricle is dilated and contains a considerable quantity of dark fluid blood, but no clots. The lining:
membrane is pale, but there are numerous small sub-endocardial extravasations, which are grouped into patches more
especially towards the upper end of the musculi-papillares, and just below the attachment of the Chordæ-tendinæ. The
valves present no alteration.
The left auricle contains a small quantity of blood ; lining membrane pale, except on the inner wall, where two dark
coloured extravasations are situated ; one measures ¾" × 5/16" the other ¾" × ¼".
