RETINAL HEMORRHAGE.
This occurs in inflammations of the retina or choroid, also in degenerations of the vascular walls and as a result of traumas, or poisons. Schindelka quotes a case in a dog from ptomaines, Eversbusch, one from scurvy in the dog, Appenroth, one in a calf from a blow with a cow’s horn, and others in cats and horses from traumas. It is present to a slight extent in all inflammations of the retina. With the ophthalmoscope the recent lesion appears as a bluish red blotch on a bright red ground, and the older lesion of a brownish red. Rest and a pressure bandage may be employed after subsidence of the inflammation.
