Retention of the Urine, or Dysuria. Cause.—It may be brought on by eating acrid herbs, causing inflanuna- tion of the urinary organs, irrital)ility and spasms of the neck of the bladder. Most commonly, however, it is a symptom of some other dis- ease, the pressure upon the neck of the bladder resulting from inversion of the rectum, calculi, or other visceral trouble. How to know it.—Frequent but ineffectual attempts to pass the urine, straining, and colicky jJains ; the hind legs are raised and moved about restlessly, and the animal looks around towards the flank. Whatto do.^Ciive hot water injections by the rectum, (and in the fennile l)y the vagina also) ; add to the injection (jne ounce of o[)ium, or three drachms of fluid extract of belladonna. Rei)eat these in Jifteon min- utes. If there is still no relief, the urine must be drawn off with a catheter. With the female tliis is very easily done, the catheter being inserted through the opening to the bladder, which will be found on the floor of the vagina, and about three inciies from the external orifice. With the mak^ it is a far more serious operation, and, unfortunatel}', retention of the urine is far more conmion in the male than in the female, owing to the peculiar foi-mation of the uretlira, a slight i)rc8sui'e on one.
