144 CAXLYE AXD FELINE SURGERY to the Veterinary Record (vol. xv., p. 265), the patient, an Aberdeen terrier, was admitted to hospital with symptoms of choking. A probang was passed without meeting with any apparent obstruction, and a portion of some medicine which was ad- ministered was retained. The animal, however, suffered great pain, and died about twenty-four hours later. Post-iuortein e.xamination re\ealed a jagged piece of bone, which had ulcerated through the cesophagus in that portion which is contained within the thorax. The probang had evidently passed through this hole directly into the chest, and this would account for the fact that it met with no opposition on its passage down. Operation.—Place the patient on the operating-table in the dorsal position, with the neck ^vell extended so as to expose the throat. Anesthetize with some local anaesthetic (cocaine or ethyl chloride answers ad- mirabl)-), and incise the skin directly over the obstruction well to the left side. Apply pressure forceps to allay hemor- rhage, push aside any \-essels in the vicinity, and expose the oesophagus. This organ is then incised longitudinalh' by a clean, bold cut, and the foreign body remo\'ed with forceps. At this stage \'omiting sometimes occurs. The wound and surrounding parts are then thoroughlj- cleansed and disinfected, and the oesophagus is sutured through all the coats at the same time, ' For this photograph I am indebted to the Veterinary Record.
