veterinarian who should be able to
recognize any LESSONS indicating the
presence of an infectious disease IN
the herd. These conditions, If recog-
nized early and proper methods OF
isolation instituted, might prevent the
general dissemination of the disease
throughout the herd.
In case of hog cholera the LESSONS
Will vary according to the course OF
the disease, but the following are
usually present. Slight Inflammation
of the bladder is shown by redness OF
the lining; hemorrhagic spots on the
kidneys varying in size from the
point to the head of pin. The kid
neys are often pale and light colored,
showing these black spots, but may be
dark and congested. The kidneys may
be thickly covered with these spots, or
possibly only a few of them may be
seen by stripping off the envelope OF
the kidney. The kidneys sometimes
resemble a turkey egg in appearance.
The spleen is usually enlarged, con-
gested, black and friable. Inflamma-
ton of the intestines, more especially
the mucous membrane of the caecum,
the beginning of the large intestine,
often occurs. This inflammation may
be diffuse or in the form of ulcers,
depending upon whether the acute or
the chronic type Of the disease exists.
