A xanthomatous lesion resembling balloon cell melanoma of the iris and ciliary body of a dog.

A slow-growing xanthomatous tumour which diffusely infiltrated the iris and ciliary body of a dog was composed of large, pale, vacuolated cells which contained scattered fine pigment granules. Electron microscopy revealed coalescing vacuoles, lamellar membranous structures, and small groups of melanosomes in the cytoplasm, suggesting melanocytic origin. The lesion resembled balloon cell melanoma of the ciliary body of man. The behaviour of the tumour was benign. This is a clinical and pathological entity which has not been reported previously in the dog.

Canine visual acuity: retinal and cortical field potentials evoked by pattern stimulation.

The visual acuities (i.e., visual thresholds for pattern detection) of four dogs under neuromuscular block were measured using visually evoked cortical potentials (VECP) and/or pattern-evoked retinal potentials (PERR). Stimuli were phase-reversing square-wave gratings with a mean luminance of 86 cd/m2 and 70% contrast. The mean of the VECP thresholds of two dogs tested was 12.59 cycles per degree (cycles/deg). The mean of the PERR thresholds of four dogs tested was 11.61 cycles/deg. The difference between VECP and PERR thresholds was not statistically significant. VECP acuities appear to be determined at or before the last stage of retinal processing (PERR). Our estimates of canine acuity are 1.3-2 times those reported for cats and 0.2-0.4 times those reported for primates when tested under comparable luminance and contrast conditions.

Dose response of topical pilocarpine-epinephrine combinations in normotensive and glaucomatous Beagles.

Dose responses to single-dose loadings with a placebo (0.50% methylcellulose) and 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, and 6% pilocarpine combined with 1% epinephrine were determined in normotensive and glaucomatous Beagle dogs. All combinations of pilocarpine and 1% epinephrine significantly (P less than 0.007) reduced pupil size and intraocular pressure in the normotensive and glaucomatous-treated eyes at most measurement times, as compared with base-line (predrug) values, untreated fellow eyes, and placebo-treated eyes. There were no significant (P less than 0.11 or greater) contralateral effects on pupil size and intraocular pressure by unilateral pilocarpine-epinephrine instillations as compared with base-line values or placebo-treated eyes.
