The changes which are designated under the term metritis consist in the first place of oedematous infiltration of the tissues.

The first case is that of a woman with chronic metritis and prolapsus uteri.

Franck records three instances of rapidly fatal metritis in cows, all of which had been poisoned from an adjacent cow with retained and putrid afterbirth.

This practice should be strongly condemned on account of its dangerous consequences—metritis, peritonitis and often death.

Neither can it be advocated in the laminitis occurring as a sequel to septic metritis or to pneumonia.
