  • The study focuses on keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), a condition in dogs that leads to eye damage due to reduced tear production, particularly in Aksaray Malakli breed dogs.
  • Researchers evaluated fifty healthy dogs showing signs of eye irritation and used tests to measure tear production and film stability.
  • Results indicated that dogs with third eyelid gland prolapse had lower tear production and film stability, highlighting a need for further research to manage KCS in this breed.
