The jugular vein passes over the thyroid gland; and, as that substance increases, the vein is sometimes brought into sight, and appears between the gland and the integuement, fearfully enlarged, varicose, and almost appearing as if it were bursting. The trachea is pressed upon on either side, and the oesophagus by the left gland, and there is difficulty of swallowing.
This is on great occasions; but in the case of more modest prey a rabbit, for instance the mouthful goes in whole at one gulp and remains stationary, partly in the oesophagus, partly in the stomach, while the powerful juices distilled by the walls of the latter are dissolving it.
Pilocarpine is the drug commonly used. Cheap whips should not be introduced into the oesophagus for the purpose of dislodging the foreign body. There is always danger of the whip becoming broken off, and the broken part lodging in the oesophagus.
It has occasionally happened that a rupture has been made in the oesophagus, or pharynx, during the operation.

Only under the most unfavorable conditions for digestion of the feed does this class of disorders occur. The predisposing causes that have to do with the development of these disorders, are the small capacity of the stomach and the location and smallness of the openings leading from the oesophagus and into the small intestines.
In its lining membrane is a large number of glands, the secretion from which during a severe cold may be quite troublesome. The oesophagus, or gullet, is a tube about nine inches long, reaching from the throat to the stomach. It lies behind the windpipe, pierces the diaphragm between the chest and abdomen, and opens into the stomach.
A central part of any body, or that about which matter is collected. In anatomy, a cell within a cell. The processes by which the nourishment of the body is accomplished.
