INGUINAL AND SCROTAL HERNIA. 329 Hydrocele. By this we define an accumulation of serum in the scrotum. The affection is often associated with oedema of the lower extremities and of the scrotum. It is frequently seen with ascites, hydrothorax, etc., appearing in the shape of a fluctuating swelling of the testicular pouch, which disappears when the animals lie on their back. Therapeutic Treatment. This consists of puncture and emptying of the sac, also injection with any of the following stim- ulating fluids: alcohol, Lugol's solution, carbolic acid (1 to 40), €tc. Of course, these are only to be used when castration is not performed. A variety of hydrocele is seen where we have oedema of the spermatic cord. This appears as a fluctuating swelling which may be easily moved from one side to the other. It occupies the whole length of the spermatic cord, and, as a rule, is never interfered with. When the fluid of the hydrocele, which is discharged by puncture, consists of bloody serum, we call it hemorrhagic hernia, or hsematocele. Any other complications of the testicles and their membranes may be found on page 184. Fig. 73.
