FOREIGN BODIES IN THE PANCREAS.
Brückmüller has noticed needles and other sharp objects in the pancreas of the dog, determining abscess and the formation of a thick, greenish pus in the adjacent glandular follicles. Goubaux once found a fragment of straw in the pancreatic duct of the horse. Such conditions are not likely to be diagnosed, but if this could be done laparotomy might be permissible in the dog for the removal of the foreign body.
