is an evident fact that the lung from which the pneumogastric

AMAUROSIS IN A FILLY DEPENDENT ON CESTRUM. 
By Dr. F. Harvey, D.Y.S., Raleigh, N. C. 
I submit th6 following case with the hope that it may 
prove interesting on account of the rarity of its occurrence 
in veterinary practice, as, although I find it mentioned in our 
text-books in connection with pregnancy, or as a result of 
castration, yet I can find no mention of its occurrence during 
oestrum. 
On April 30th I was called to see a two-year-old filly 
which had until that day been in perfect health. 
The history of the case was that the filly had been discov¬ 
ered to be in heat that morning for the first time, and in the 
afternoon in walking about the yard, it was noticed that she 
walked into objects, being altogether unable to see. She also 
had an excessive discharge per vulva. 
When I saw her at first l could detect nothing abnormal 
about her eyes, but on closer examination, I found the pupils 
dilated and fixed. The near eye was more affected than the 
off. She was very much excited, and when her hind quarters 
would come in contact with an object she would kick 
violently. 
I ordered her to be kept quiet, using no medical treatment. 
On May 2nd the discharge stopped, and the sight began 
to return, and when I saw her again on the 6th, she could see 
perfectly, and was otherwise in good health.
