Effects of oral isosorbide and glycerol on intraocular pressure, serum osmolality, and blood glucose in normal dogs.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the effects of oral isosorbide and glycerol on intraocular pressure (IOP), serum osmolality (SOSM), and blood glucose (BG) in normal dogs.

Methods:   Ten normal dogs were administered an oral dose of either isosorbide (1.5 g/kg), glycerol (1.

Effects of topical administration of latanoprost, timolol, or a combination of latanoprost and timolol on intraocular pressure, pupil size, and heart rate in clinically normal dogs.

Objective: To determine effects after topical administration of latanoprost, timolol, or a commercially available latanoprosttimolol combination twice daily on intraocular pressure (IOP), pupil size (PS), and heart rate (HR) in clinically normal dogs.

Animals: 17 clinically normal dogs.

Procedures: A randomized controlled clinical trial was performed with a treatment (n=9) and saline (0.

Phacoemulsification for the management of Encephalitozoon cuniculi-induced phacoclastic uveitis in a rabbit.

Phacoemulsification was performed on a New Zealand White rabbit with slowly progressive unilateral phacoclastic uveitis and cataract formation. The irrigating solution with lenticular contents were centrifuged and examined cytologically using Weber's chromotrope-based stain. Microsporidial spores were observed and positively identified as Encephalitozoon cuniculi via polymerase chain reaction.
