The facial expression of an animal suffering the throes of tetanus, azoturia, or acute synovitis, is readily recognized by the experienced eye, and upon physiognomy alone, in many instances, may the opinions regarding prognosis be based. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
Nervous subjects, it is known, are more prone to azoturia than are those of lymphatic temperament. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
Paralysis of the hind parts should not be confused with rheumatism, azoturia and other disorders that may interfere with the movements of the posterior portion of the body. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)
Inflammation of the kidneys is a common complication of azoturia. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)
Often, following azoturia, a bilateral affection is to be observed. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
The German veterinarians attribute it to irritation of the muscles by cold, and classify azoturia as a rheumatic disorder. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)
It is especially important to provide for the subject to be exercised when there is atrophy of the quadriceps muscles following azoturia. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
The horse is the only species that is affected with azoturia. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)
Any given seizure may easily be mistaken for azoturia, at first, but a better examination soon excludes that disease. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
In azoturia of horses and in infectious diseases, the inflammation is nearly always acute. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)
This condition involves the heavy gluteal muscles and may occur as a complication of azoturia, or a lameness of the hind limb that is usually due to a spavin. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)
-- While paralysis of the femoral nerve, also known as "dropped stifle" occurs as a result of local injuries and melanotic tumors in gray horses, most cases are due to azoturia. ❋ John Victor Lacroix (N/A)
For example, in congestion of the kidneys the urine is light in color and rather transparent; in southern cattle fever it may be red; and in azoturia it may be brown. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)
In the horse, one attack of azoturia predisposes it to a second attack. ❋ R. A. Craig (N/A)
If it is learned that the horse has been kept in the stable without exercise for several days and upon full rations, and that he became suddenly lame in his back and hind legs, and finally fell to the ground from what appeared to be partial paralysis, this knowledge, taken in connection with a few evident symptoms, will be enough to establish a diagnosis of azoturia (excess of nitrogen in the urine). ❋ Charles B. Michener (1877)
A horse with tetanus or azoturia sweats profusely. ❋ Charles B. Michener (1877)
Dark-brown urine is seen in azoturia and in severe acute muscular rheumatism. ❋ Charles B. Michener (1877)
This condition may result from paraplegia (paralysis), from azoturia, from forage poisoning, from tetanus, or from painful conditions of the bones or feet, such as osteoporosis or founder. ❋ Charles B. Michener (1877)
First Michael's mare Portofino was ruled out, with lameness, then John's Peppermill, having jumped well in the first qualifier for the individual championship, was withdrawn from the first round of the team championship after developing something, probably azoturia (a muscular enzyme problem), that refused to respond to treatment in time. ❋ Unknown (2009)
