Abstract

In the present study, brachycephalic dogs accounted for the maximum number of ocular cases. The medical and surgical management techniques showed positive outcomes for various eye affections. Superficial corneal ulcers were treated effectively with topical antibiotics, artificial tear replacers, NSAIDs, and cycloplegic drugs, whereas deep corneal ulcers can be managed by surgical intervention using a third eyelid flap technique and tarsorrhaphy. Treatment of cherry eye can be done by Morgan’s pocket technique to avoid postoperative keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Corneal opacity was managed with topical NSAIDs, antibiotics, corticosteroid eye drops, whereas corneal edema cases successfully recovered with topical hyperosmotic agents, antibiotics, and steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Corneal melanosis cases were managed by topical instillation of fortified 3% cyclosporine in corn oil and artificial tear replacers
