- The study investigates the effects of brow rhytidectomy and a Stades-like procedure on Chow Chow and Shar-Pei dogs, who often suffer from eye issues due to heavy brows, including vision impairment and ocular discomfort.
- A total of 27 dogs participated, with common problems being ocular inflammation and impaired vision; post-surgery follow-ups showed that around 70% achieved satisfactory eyelid appearance, while a small percentage experienced under or over-correction.
- Most dog owners reported satisfaction with the results, and nearly all dogs had no recurrence of clinical signs during the follow-up period, indicating the surgeries were generally effective.
Purpose: To describe the surgical technique and clinical outcomes of the glabellar flap and its modification for the reconstruction of the medial canthus following resection of tumors in three dogs and two cats.
Methods: Three dogs (7-, 7-, and 12.5-year-old mixed breeds) and two cats (10- and 14-year-old Domestic shorthair) presented with a 7-13 mm tumor affecting the eyelid and/or conjunctiva in the medial canthal region.
Purpose: To describe the prevalence of ocular diseases in Sphynx cats, and compare disease characteristics with other feline breeds.

Objective: To evaluate analgesic effects and complications associated with intraorbital insertion of an absorbable gelatin hemostatic sponge (AGHS) soaked with 1% ropivacaine solution following enucleation in dogs.
Animals: 20 client-owned dogs undergoing enucleation.
Procedures: Dogs were randomly assigned to receive an AGHS soaked with 1% ropivacaine solution (n = 10) or saline (0.
