There is to be considered, however, the fact that the young animal is more agile, a better self-nurse, and in a general way more apt to recover than is the adult, under similar conditions. Rheumatic arthritis, if one is justified in classifying rheumatic inflammation of joints as a metastatic form of arthritis, is not a common condition, though seen in mature and aged animals.
A specific polyarthritis or synovitis which attends navel infection of foals is perhaps the most frequent form of arthritis that is to be considered metastatic. This condition is truly a disease of young animals and, while it is a specific arthritis, the cause is yet to be attributed to any definite pathogenic organism with certainty.
There was purulent pleurisy with a considerable pocket of pus, and purulent false membranes on the walls of the pleura. The liver was bleached, fatty, but of firm consistency, and with no apparent metastatic abscesses. The uterus, of small size, appeared healthy; but on the external surface whitish nodules filled with pus were found.
You know the sequel of this complaint. You'll have endocarditis, embolism, thrombosis, metastatic abscesses you know the danger as well as I do." He sank back into his bed laughing. "I take my complaints one at a time, thank you," said he. "I wouldn't be so greedy as to have all those eh, Munro, what? when many another poor devil hasn't got an ache to his back."
Eliminating the forms of elbow inflammation, such as are caused by metastatic infection and other conditions which properly belong to the domain of theory of practice, we may consider this affection under the classification of contusive wounds and penetrative wounds. Symptomatology.
A practical manner of classification of arthritis is traumatic and metastatic. Traumatic arthritis may result from all sorts of accidents wherein joints are contused. Such cases may be considered as being caused by direct injuries.
This offers a broad field for experimentation which will in time be productive of a radical change in the manner of treating such cases. Metastatic arthritis is seen more frequently in colts or young animals than in mature horses and we here take the liberty of classifying with the arthritis of omphalophlebitis and strangles the so-called rheumatic variety.
Its consideration properly belongs to discussions on practice or obstetrics and diseases of the new born, and it has received careful attention and is discussed at length in these works. A second form of metastatic arthritis is met with in strangles. Strangles occurs in the young principally and is not a frequent cause of synovitis or arthritis in the adult animal.
However, metastatic inflammation of this joint is seldom observed except in cases of strangles. The animal should be kept perfectly quiet until recovery has taken place. Injuries.
This condition is well defined by Bollinger as quoted by Hoare, when he calls it a purulent omphalophlebitis due to local infection of the umbilicus and umbilical vessels, by pyogenic organisms, causing a metastatic pyemia.
