Purpose: Labial mucosa transplantation for the treatment of canine keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) has been reported recently. Postoperative alleviation of clinical signs was noted and assumed to be the result of labial salivary glands providing lubrication to the ocular tissue. The aim of this...

Objective: To assess the efficacy of 0.1% oclacitinib as a single agent, and in combination with tacrolimus 0.01%, for the control of ophthalmic signs of keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) in dogs. Animals studied: Thirty-two dogs (57 eyes) diagnosed with idiopathic KCS were included. Inclusion...

Objective: To evaluate repeatability and reproducibility of tear osmolarity measured using the TearLab^TM osmometer in normal dogs and to assess its diagnostic potential in dogs with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Animals studied: Beagle dogs; six normal and five with KCS. Procedures: Tear...

There is little peer-reviewed research assessing therapeutic effectiveness in canine eye disease. Current treatments used in first opinion and ophthalmology referral practices are also somewhat poorly documented. The aim of this study was to investigate the current management of canine ...

This article discusses the aetiological factors, classification, clinical aspects, and diagnosis of canine keratoconjunctivitis sicca; and highlights the advances in the medical treatment and management of canine keratoconjunctivitis sicca.

Objective: To describe clinical features of dogs with lipemic uveitis (LU). Animals studied: Seventy-five dogs (114 eyes) with LU. Procedures: Medical records of dogs examined by the Cornell University ophthalmology service with a clinical diagnosis of LU between 2008 and 2017 were analyzed....

Objective: To describe the clinical application and effect of MicroPulse^TM transscleral cyclophotocoagulation (MP-TSCPC) in dogs with glaucoma. Animals studied: Twelve dogs with primary (n=8) or secondary (n=4) glaucoma, aged 2-13 years (mean±SD, 7.2±3.8 years). Procedures: MP-TSCPC was performed...

Purpose: To evaluate the effect of twice daily aqueous 0.02% sirolimus drops on tear production in normal dogs and dogs with refractory keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Methods: Two groups of dogs were studied. Ten normal dogs with no signs of ocular disease were administered topical 0.02%...

Objective: Determine morphological and morphometric parameters of corneal epithelium in dogs, and determine the cellular alterations that occur in canine keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) using impression cytology. Study animals: 60 dogs divided into two groups: dogs with Schirmer tear test (STT) at ...

Objective: To describe clinical aspects of dogs with punctate retinal hemorrhage (PRH). Animals studied: 83 dogs (119 eyes) with PRH. Procedures: Medical records of dogs evaluated by the Cornell University ophthalmology service with a clinical diagnosis of PRH between 2006 and 2015 were reviewed....
