Premacular bursa?
Why is an illustration showing the and labeled "Premacular bursa" in the article when there is no mention of the bursa in the article itself? Do floaters tend to accumulate in the bursa, or between it and the retina or something? Is there a reason to point it out then not talk about it?

 * I was asking myself the same thing. Besides, there is no entry on "premacular bursa" in Wikipedia. The search query only gives the Floater article. I would suggest removing the image completely.

 * Speculation about a premacular bursa where floaters were "supposedly found" in children was added by an anomymous user in 2009.(dif1, dif2). The speculation was removed in 2018, but the illustration accidentally remained.(dif3) I am going to delete the image now. Ceinturion (talk) 19:44, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

Information on Floaters in Animals
https://veterinaryvisioncenter.com/eye-can-see-clearly-now-vitreal-floaters-in-pets/

https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-dogs-get-floaters-in-their-eyes-like-we-do/448611

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/pharmacology-toxicology-and-pharmaceutical-science/vitreous-floaters

Here are some references that could be useful as it has been known that floaters happen in other animals too. As an aspiring animal researcher with tons of animals at home, I like to keep links that contain information on animal health issues, but not a lot of information on animal health issues is tackled here, so I wish to add them in order to broaden up coverage.

 * @LoverOfAllAnimalsActivist thanks for your edit! I would not trust "Veterinary Vision Center" as a reliable source for scientific information. The page from ScienceDirect you posted contains some articles that might help you write a better referenced statement, for instance this chapter of Equine Ophthalmology.
