Treatment of corneal ulceration and bullous keratopathy using a nictitating membrane flap in two horses.

Objective: The aim of this study was to describe placement of a nictitating membrane flap as a treatment for corneal ulceration and bullous keratopathy in two horses.

Animals Studied: A 13-year-old American Saddlebred mare presented for severe corneal edema, superficial stromal ulceration, and a central bulla of the left eye. A 4-year-old Trakhener stallion also presented with a large axial bulla of the left eye with concurrent severe corneal edema and a deep stromal ulcer.

Localized alopecia and suppression of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in dogs following treatment with difluprednate 0.05% ophthalmic emulsion (Durezol®).

Background: Despite the common use of topical ophthalmic corticosteroids in dogs, detailed reports on systemic and dermatologic adverse effects are limited.

Results: Nine purpose-bred research Beagles were treated with difluprednate 0.05% ophthalmic emulsion in one or both eyes 2-3 times daily.

Aqueous angiography in pre-glaucomatous and glaucomatous ADAMTS10-mutant canine eyes: A pilot study.

Objective: To evaluate intravenous scleral and intracameral aqueous angiography in normotensive (n = 4) and hypertensive glaucomatous (n = 6) ADAMTS10-mutant canine eyes.

Animals Studied: Ten ADAMTS10-mutant dogs were used in this study.

Procedures: Dogs were sedated and one eye from each dog underwent scleral angiography following intravenous injection of 0.

Transconjunctival excision of an orbital conjunctival cyst using computer-assisted 3-D surgical planning in a dog.

Investigation of exophthalmos and blood-colored discharge from the left ventral punctum in a dog was consistent with a conjunctival cyst in the orbit. 3-D prints of the cyst and surrounding facial bones identified a successful transconjunctival approach without an orbitotomy and patency of the left lacrimal duct was reestablished.

Aqueous Angiography in Normal Canine Eyes.

Purpose: To conduct aqueous angiography (AA) using a clinically applicable technique in normal dogs and to compare findings to intravenous scleral angiography (SA).

Methods: We examined 10 canine cadaver eyes and 12 eyes from live normal dogs. A gravity-fed trocar system delivered 2% sodium fluorescein and 0.

Use of 3-dimensional printing in surgical exploration of a nasolacrimal duct obstruction in a dog.

A 1.5-year-old spayed female English setter dog was presented because of mucopurulent discharge emanating from the left medial canthal region of 8-months duration despite medical management and repeated nasolacrimal flushing. Dacryocystorhinography demonstrated obstruction at the level of the lacrimal sac.

Evaluation of a portable oxygen concentrator to provide fresh gas flow to dogs undergoing anesthesia.

This study evaluated the ability of a portable oxygen concentrator (POC) to provide fresh gas to an anesthetic machine via an Ayre's T-piece or a Bain circuit. Fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) was compared at flows of 0.5 to 3.
