Abstract

‎A retrospective study of ‎corneo-conjunctival disorders was conducted on 71 dogs at ‎several private pet clinics in ‎Alexandria in Egypt between 2019 and 2022 to determine ‎the incidence of corneo-‎conjunctival disorders among different breeds, ages, and ‎sexes of dogs‎ using descriptive statistical tools. The overall incidence of corneo-‎‎conjunctival disorders in dogs was (35.50%) of the total ocular disorders encountered ‎with ‎Golden retriever breed being the most affected. The majority of corneo-‎conjunctival ‎affections were met with dogs less than 1 year of age with the cornea ‎being the most ‎affected anatomical location. Corneal Ulcer was the most frequently ‎diagnosed clinical ‎condition. It was also seen that males were affected more than ‎females.‎
