'Softening of the Induration, Ulcerations, Vomicae, &c. Mucous and wheezing; mucous rale in the bronchia; discharge from the nostrils of purulent matter, white, gray, or black, and sometimes fetid. Paleness of the mucous membranes. The animal seldom lies down, and never long at a time.
Death by suffocation, when the matter proceeding from the vomicae, or abscesses, obstructs the bronchial passages, or by the development of an acute inflammation engrafted upon the chronic one. The 'oesophagus', or gullet, of the dog, is constructed in nearly the same manner as that of the horse.
If the prevailing symptoms have led our attention to the lungs, we find inflammation of the bronchial passages, or, in a few instances, of the substance of the lungs, or the submucous tissue of the cells. We rarely have inflammation of the pulmonary pleura, and never to any extent of the intercostal pleura. In a few lingering cases, tubercles and vomicae of the lungs have been found.
