Lesions and Symptoms.—The typical lesions are red, circumscribed blotches that are hot and pruritic. Because of the pruritis the pig rubs the skin and may produce abrasions from which serum and blood may escape. The disease usually terminates in recovery on the second or third day, although in severe cases pustular formation may follow.

. Swine practice . Swine. THE SKIN 243 With digestive derangement, but may be caused by filth and the irri- tation caused by lice. Lesions and Symptoms.—The typical lesions are red, circumscribed blotches that are hot and pruritic. Because of the pruritis the pig rubs the skin and may produce abrasions from which serum and blood may escape.

Treatment.—Clean the swine and premises, and administer a saline purgative, such as Epsom salt. IMPETIGO (measles) Impetigo is a condition in which there is an eruption of papules or pustules. The pustules may rupture soon after eruption or become. Hog affected with urticaria. (Ostertag.) desiccated, forming a crust or scab. This condition is commonly erroneously called measles. This condition is relatively common in pigs in some sections of the United States, particularly in the southern states. It has been ob- served in range swine as well as in swine that have been kept in small feed lots. An individual case may be observed but it more commonly assumes the form of an infection and from 5 to 8Q per cent of the pigs on a farm or range will become affected. The disease is rarely fatal but is of economic importance because the animals that are affected do not develop properly and persist as small dwarfs or runts regardless of the fact that they may be given an abundance of the best quality of feed. Etiology.—The specific cause of this condition has not been deter- mined. Various pyogenic micrococci have been isolated from the local lesions, but these micro-organisms may be found upon the skin of normal swine and they may therefore be considered of secondary.
