Imperforate Anus (absence of anus), occurs mostly in
calves. Sometimes the opening is closed with skin. Some­
times the anus itself is perfect, but near the external
orifice there is a membranous partition. Sometimes the
large intestine may terminate in a ‘ ‘ cul-de-sac ' (having
one end open only). In the first and second cases, open
with crucial incisions. In the third, try to reach the
blind end and open it. Then sew the edges of the opened
end to the edges of the cutaneous incision.

Distention of the Rectum with hard pellets of me-
conium (fetal excrements) is sometimes so serious as to
necessitate their removal by the oiled finger.

Piles may be removed sometimes by ligature or other­
wise. Soft food and an occasional laxative to counteract
constipation.

Prolapsus Ani differs from rupture in that the pro­
trusion is through the natural anal opening and consists

Intussusception (entrance of one bowel within an­
other) also follows colic. Rare. Operate as above.

Rupture (hernia) is about the same in the ox as in
the horse. In serious cases fatten and slaughter. (For
description and treatment, see pages 58, 59.)
