DETACHMENT OF THE RETINA.
This may occur in any case of retinitis or choroiditis. It is especially common in recurrent ophthalmia in horses. It may also occur through the dragging by contracting inflammatory products in organization. Spontaneous recoveries have taken place through reabsorption, and attempts have been made by the injection of iodide lotion to hasten this, or more safely by rest and diaphoresis. Puncture and aspiration have also been tried with most varied results. As a rule in the lower animals the treatment of the inflammation, with rest, a pressure bandage, and pilocarpin will be indicated.
