The purpose of this study was to determine reference interval intraocular pressure (IOP) values in 8 different species of companion birds. One hundred and nineteen companion birds (238 eyes) from a captive colony were examined: 21 pigeons (; 18%), 17 African grey parrots (; 14%), 22 common mynahs (; 18%), 24 cockatiels (; 20%), 12 zebra finches (; 10%), 9 budgerigars (; 8%), 6 domestic canaries (; 5%), and 8 ring-necked parakeets (; 7%). Intraocular pressure was measured by rebound tonometry (TonoVet) avoiding induced, undesired pressure on the head, neck, or eyes.

Animals Studied: Sixty healthy adult dogs from twelve different breeds (120 eyes), twenty adult healthy domestic shorthair cats (40 eyes) and eighteen adult healthy New Zealand white rabbits (36 eyes) were used in this study.
Procedures: Lacrimal function was tested by SM tube in all animals.
Objective: To determine the effect of body position, eyelid manipulation, and manual jugular compression on intraocular pressure (IOP) in clinically normal cats.
Animal Studied: TWENTY-ONE ADULT CLIENT-OWNED DOMESTIC SHORTHAIR CATS: PROCEDURES: The IOP was measured by means of rebound tonometer. A baseline IOP was measured in all cats in ventral recumbency with normal head position (horizontal to the ground) with no pressure on the neck or eyelids.
Objective: To determine the effects of short-term oral administration of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole on tear production in clinically normal guinea pigs.
Animal Studied: Thirty-two healthy adult Abyssinian guinea pigs were used in this study.
Procedure: One day before the start of the trial, the pretreatment baseline phenol red thread test (PRTT) values were recorded.
