II. Retention of the Urine, or Dysuria.
Cause.—It may be brought on by eating acrid herbs, causing inflammation of the urinary organs, irritability and spasms of 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 pains; the hind legs arc raised and moved about restlessly, and the animal looks around towards the flank. What to do.—Give hot water injections by the rectum, (and in the female by the vagina also) ; add to the injection one ounce of opium, or three drachms of fluid extract of belladonna. Repeat these in fifteen minutes. If there is still no relief, the urine must be drawn off with a catheter. With the female this 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 inches from the external orifice. With the male it is a far more serious operation, and, unfortunately, retention of the urine is far more common in the male than in the female, owing to the peculiar formation of the urethra, a slight pressure on one

III. Incontinence of Urine, or Enuresis.
This difficulty may be considered the opposite of that just considered: the urine dribbles away involuntarily. Cause.—Paralysis of the muscular coat of the bladder and sphincter vesicæ ; calculi ; or pervious urachus after birth.
