. Surgical diseases of the dog and cat, with chapters on anaesthetics and obstetrics (second edition of 'Canine and feline surgery'). Dogs; Cats. 154 CANINE AND FELINE SURGERY flow must be removed by the careful reintroduction of the trocar or a sterihzed blunt probe. The left side may or may not, at the discretion of the operator, be punctured in the same way. On this side, when choosing the site of puncture, the portion of chest wall immediately over the heart-beat must be avoided, the trocar being inserted very cautiously just through the pleura in a slanting direction,and then withdrawn, the rest of the puncture being made with the blunt cannula. The author has seen one of the heart ventricles accidentally punctured, the blood spurting out with each heart-beat. The patient was kept under close obser\ation afterwards for a week, and appeared to suffer no Fig. 120.—Trocars and Cannute : Various Sizes (nested). Symptoms of collapse mmst be watched for, and the amount of fluid withdrawn left entirely to the discretion of the operator. The author's opinion is that as much as possible should be withdrawn unless signs of syncope appear, as it is practically impossible to entirely empty the dog's chest, on account of its shape. Solution of iodine, chinosol, adrenalin chloride, or some antiseptic may, or may not, be injected, after which the cannula is carefully and slowly withdrawn. The seat of puncture is dried with aseptic cotton-wool, and covered with iodoform (or orthoform) and collodion. Of these, adrenalin chloride is the one with which the most favourable results have been recorded. It was first advocated in the treatment of erous effusions by Dr. Barr, of Liverpool, in 1903, and Drs. Plant and.
