Comprehensive clinical manual detailing disorders of the nervous, genitourinary, ocular, and integumentary systems in domestic animals. It begins with principles of neural control and general symptomatology, classifying motor, sensory, and psychic disturbances and methods for localizing lesions. The text describes specific conditions such as seizures, paralysis, meningitis, intracranial hemorrhage, tumors, and toxicoses, and outlines diagnostic signs and pathological causes. Later sections address urine analysis and renal disease, urinary tract inflammation and calculi, and diseases of the eye, skin, and constitutional systems, combining pathological description with clinical signs, differential diagnosis, and practical guidance for examination and interpretation.
Cases of this kind are adduced by Schleich and Mayer, in dogs, in which there was a corresponding bulging or even an absence (coloboma) of the choroid and retina. With a large protrusion of the sclera behind, there was a shrinkage of the front of the globe (microphthalmos), so that an atrophy might be suspected. The condition is irremediable.
