H2EMAT0KIA — EUPTUEE OF THS HEAET. 73 



E^SMATUBIA (Bloody Uriae).— This condition ia met 

 with in doga, and is the result of calculi situated in the bladder, 

 kidneys, or urethra. These foreign bodies cause irritation and 

 inflammation, and also injure the mucous membrane, producing 

 abrasions and superiieial bleeding, the blood being passed with the 

 urine. A blow across the back may also cause it. Upon pressing 

 the dog's loins pain is evinced, and there is also a certain amount 

 of irritation caused by passing the urine. Blood is sometimes mixed 

 vfiih the latter, or it may be passed independently of it. Give 10 to 

 60 drops of liquid extract of ergot every four hours, and if the 

 urinary passage is the seat of the injui-y, inject a weak solution of 

 Condy's Fluid. The food should consist for a time of Bovril or 

 beef-tea, with egg and milk to drink. Under no circumstances 

 administer a diuretic. 



H^iMOSBrHOIDS.— &e Piles. 



HARVEST BUGS.— /See Parasites, Exteenal. 



HAW, ENXiAHGBMENT OP.- The haw, or third eyelid, 

 as it is sometimes called, is a fold of membrane situated at the 

 inner comer of the eye, and capable of expansion, and is used to 

 sweep across the globe of the eye to cleanse it from flies, dirt, or 

 other foreign bodies that have been blown in. This membrane, 

 from constitutional causes, blows, or irritation due to extraneous 

 matter lodged in the eye, sometimes becomes inflamed and enlarged, 

 interfering with the sight and preventing the eyelids from closing. 



The treatment consists in applying astringent lotions, lunar caustic, 

 or in cutting o£E the excrescent growth, according to the oiroumstancea 

 of the case. 



HEAB-T, FATTY DEGENERATIOIT OP.— This is 

 perhaps the most frequent form of heart disease found in the dog ; it 

 is. however, seldom diagnosed during life. 



The cause may arise from a general malnutrition of the system, 

 or from senile decay (decay due to old age). The organ is not 

 always wholly involved. When only a part is affected, it is due 

 to some obstruction causing local malnutrition. The symptoms 

 during life are not very pronounced, though the animal may show 

 unusual fatigue upon slight exertion, and the pulse is irregular. 



HEART, RUPTURE OP.— This has been noted bj some 

 ^rriters, but the cases quoted arc few,
