TUMORS OF THE INTESTINES IN BIRDS.
In chickens it is no uncommon thing to find sarcomata, and other tumors of less determinate structure in connection with the intestine. Pommay and Bizard record a case of cylindroid epithelioma in an ostrich, almost completely blocking the intestine.
The treatment in birds may be very heroic, the tendency to infection by pyogenic and other common bacteria of wounds being reduced to a minimum.
