Eye] * * 3 [Eyelids 



a couple of stitches through the lids, which may 

 be removed twenty-four hours later. The eye is 

 sure to be inflamed and very painful for a few 

 days, but this may be relieved by hot poppy- 

 head fomentation made by boiling a couple of 

 crushed poppy-heads in a quart of water for ten 

 minutes, and then straining through fine muslin. 



After the eye has been out for an hour or 

 two, one cannot tell for some days whether the 

 sight has been destroyed or not. As a rule 

 it is. 



Eye, Haw of, Growth on : 



Symptoms : A small red swelling appears in 

 the inner corner of one or both eyes. It is 

 particularly common in bull puppies, pugs, and 

 young bloodhounds. 



Treatment : The only treatment consists in 

 excising the swelling in the following way : Paint 

 the little red body several times with a 6 per cent, 

 solution of hydrochlorate of cocaine, then after 

 waiting a few minutes the swelling should be 

 gently drawn out with forceps, or by passing a 

 thread through it with a needle, and then it 

 should be quickly snipped off with a pair of 

 curved scissors. The bleeding will stop of 

 itself in a few minutes, and no further treatment 

 is required. 



Eyelids, Sore: 



Symptoms : The membrane of the eye is much 

 congested, and freely discharges white matter ; 

 the skin around eye is swollen, inflamed, and 

 raw, which sometimes makes it difficult to see 

 the eye.
