Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to study diagnosis and management of anterior segmental ocular affections in dogs.
Out of a total of 2042 surgical cases, 4.5 per cent (92) of anterior segmental ocular affections over a period of 13 months from December 2019 to January 2021 were reported in dogs. Methodical physical, clinical and ophthalmological and other investigations were carried out to diagnose extra ocular affections.
Anterior segment ocular affections in dogs were examined and classified under i.e. periocular, eyelids, third eyelid, conjunctiva, sclera, cornea, anterior chamber and iris affections in dogs were diagnosed by detailed ophthalmic examination i.e Schirmer tear test, Fluorescein dye test, Rose Bengal test, Tonometry, Ophthalmoscopy, Slit lamp bio-microscope and B-mode ocular ultrasound methods. In the study highest incidence was recorded in ND 0.83 per cent followed by Rottweiler 0.69 per cent, Pug 0.63 per cent. Gender wise incidence was higher in males i.e., 63.04 per cent compared to females 36.96 per cent. The anatomical location wise distribution of anterior segmental ocular affections in dogs highest incidence recorded in Eyelids 22.82 per cent.
Among the periocular affections, the highest percentages of incidence are proptosis and purulent discharges 28.57 per cent of each respectively. Among various eyelid affections, highest percentage of incidence was Entropion 28.57 percent. In third eyelid affections, highest percentage of incidence was Cherry eye 75.00 per cent. Among various conjunctiva affections, highest percentage of incidence was purulent conjunctivitis 44.44 per cent.
Among sclera affections, equal incidence was found in episcleral congestion and limbal melanoma 50.00 percent of each. Among corneal affections highest incidence was corneal ulcer 50.00 per cent. Among various anterior chamber affections, equal incidence was found in Hyphaema and Glaucoma 50.00 percent of each. In Iris affections, equal incidence was found in Iris Bombe, Iris prolapse and anterior uveitis 33.33 per cent of each.
The age group of zero to three years had the highest incidence of 67.39 per cent. Among the side wise affections, both eyes (OU) 44.56 per cent showed higher incidence than right eye and left eye.
Purulent Conjunctivitis, Allergic Conjunctivitis, Corneal Opacity, Chronic Superficial Keratitis/Pannus, Superficial Corneal Ulcer, Descemetocele, Kerato Conjunctivitis sicca (KCS) and Glaucoma with bilateral corneal opacity cases were recorded and treated by medical management.
Proptosis, Eyelid Tumor, Eyelid Laceration, Cherry Eyes, Everted T Cartilage, Penetrating Corneal Wound and Deep Corneal Ulcer cases were recorded and treated by surgical management.
To diagnose anterior segmental ocular affections in dogs a routine ocular examination and detailed ophthalmic examination, were carried out and the cases were treated effectively by meticulous preparation of the patient and medical management and good surgical techniques or both appropriately for successful recovery.
