Aspiration of serosanguinous fluid with no growth of microbial organisms and histopathology confirmed the cystic nature of the structure. A 2.7 mm, 30 deg, 11 cm foreward-oblique endoscope with arthroscopic cannula was passed through a mucosal stab incision in the dorsal buccal recess into the cyst to allow for exploration. A separate instrument portal was placed in the center of the cyst through the skin which allowed for transcutaneous dacryocystorhinostomy with a meniscal probe to be performed. No clear communication was evident caudodorsally into the frontal sinus on endoscope examination.

One group of four turtles received four 20 μL drops of 10% phenylephrine and four 20 μL drops of rocuronium bromide in the right eye. Another group of four turtles received one standard drop of proparacaine followed by four 20 μL drops of 10% phenylephrine and four 20 μL drops of rocuronium bromide in the right eye. Two control group turtles received four 20 μL drops of saline in the right eye. The left eye was untreated in all turtles.

The time to peak effect was 90 min in the proparacaine group and 75 min in the non-proparacaine group. Saline-treated pupils in the control group decreased in diameter over the study period.

Data on patient demographics and clinical findings were collected and analyzed.Results: Based on the presence of round, white, fluorescein negative anterior stromal lesions, FSK was diagnosed in 84 dogs and 16 cats, with mean ± SD ages of 6.5 ± 3.7 and 5.9 ± 4.6 years, respectively. FSK was the presenting complaint in 18% of dogs and 12.5% of cats. Most patients had unilateral lesions, with 57% of dog eyes and 55% of cat eyes having more than three lesions per eye. Lesions varied in size (0.5-7.6 mm in dogs, pinpoint to 5 mm in cats) and were predominantly located in the central cornea of dogs, while scattered throughout the cornea of cats. Progression was reported in just 4% of dogs and 6% of cats, while transient irritation was reported in 18% of dogs and 12.5% of cats. Owners reported the presence of little fire ants (LFA) in the vicinity of 21% of dogs and 38% of cats.Conclusions: FSK should be considered a differential diagnosis for transient ocular irritation in dogs and cats, with most lesions being non-progressive. While an association with LFA has been suggested in both animals and humans, this link remains speculative and has not been confirmed by rigorous academic research.","PeriodicalId":23836,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142898514","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Signalment, clinical signs, month at presentation, and affected eye(s) were recorded. Cases were divided into confirmed and suspected cases.Results: Twenty-four confirmed and nine suspected cases were identified, consisting of 26 dogs and seven cats. There were 19 females (57.6%) and 14 males (42.4%). Median age at presentation was 1.9 (range 0.16-12.5) years, with a median weight of 6.1 (range 1.3-25) kilograms. All cases presented between August and May, with the majority (75.7%) presenting in summer. This correlates with the breeding life cycle of the Bronze Orange Bug. Unilateral presentation was more common (97%; n = 32) than bilateral (3%; n = 1) with an increased incidence of left eyes (60.6%; n = 20) compared to right eyes (36.4%; n = 12). Presenting signs included acute onset blepharospasm (100%), superficial corneal ulceration (90.9%), conjunctival hyperemia (87.8%), chemosis (60.6%), periocular swelling (51.5%), conjunctival ulceration (39.4%), third eyelid protrusion (39.4%), miosis (36.4%), corneal edema (36.4%), and aqueous flare (24.2%). The median time to resolution of clinical signs was 13 days.Conclusions: The Bronze Orange Bug's defensive secretion causes acute onset ocular irritation consistent with acidic chemical burns in dogs and cats. Bronze Orange Bug exposure should be considered as a differential diagnosis in endemic areas, particularly during the summer months.","PeriodicalId":23836,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142814426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Diagnosis involves clinical examination, Schirmer Tear Test (STT1), and Tear Film Break-Up Time (TFBUT) measurement. This retrospective study aimed to assess dry eye syndrome in intact, purebred, Aksaray Malakli breed dogs, and investigate potential associations with hereditary ocular diseases due to inbreeding for phenotype preservation.Animals: Fifty healthy, purebred, intact Aksaray Malakli dogs of varying ages and sexes, all exhibiting conjunctival hyperemia and mucoid ocular discharge. Dogs with chronic diseases, systemic medication, or ongoing ophthalmic treatment were excluded.Procedures: Demographic data, ophthalmic examination results, and ocular anomalies were recorded. STT1 and TFBUT assessments were performed to measure tear production and film stability. STT1 values were scored from 1 (normal) to 4 (severe dry eye), and TFBUT ≥20 s was considered normal. Statistical analyses were used to evaluate correlations and differences.Results: The correlation between age and STT1 values (r = -.182, p = .206) was not statistically significant. Mean STT1 was higher in females than males, though not significantly (p = .849). Dogs without third eyelid gland prolapse had significantly higher STT1 and TFBUT measurements compared to those with prolapse (p = .027). No significant sex difference was found in the frequency of third eyelid prolapse (p = .289). A significant positive correlation was observed between STT1 and TFBUT (r = .924; p < .001).Conclusions: Aksaray Malakli dogs, particularly those with third eyelid gland prolapse, are predisposed to mild to moderate KCS. These findings suggest the need for further clinical and genetic investigations to better understand and manage dry eye syndrome in this breed.","PeriodicalId":23836,"journal":{"name":"Veterinary ophthalmology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142814393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Inclusion criteria were sampling for aerobic microbial culture at three different time points (T0: pre-irrigation, T1: post-irrigation, and T2: postoperatively) and T0 showing bacterial growth. Microbiological outcomes were assessed semi-quantitatively by creating a scoring system to describe the bacterial load. Furthermore, the species detected were evaluated. Poisson regression analysis was performed to evaluate the efficacy of the disinfectants.Results: Eighty eyes (75 horses) met the inclusion criteria, with 36 cases being aseptically prepared with PI and 44 with PHMB. Both antiseptics significantly reduced the bacterial load and number of bacterial species (p < .001) between time points T0 and T1, and T0 and T2. PHMB showed a reduction in the bacterial load by 64% (CI: 51%-73%) whereas PI reduced it by 48% (CI: 36%-58%) between time points T0 and T1. The reduction in the number of bacterial species between time points T0 to T1 was significantly greater in the PHMB group (85%, CI: 70%-93%), compared to PI (47%, CI: 26%-62%).Conclusion: Both PHMB and PI reduced the bacterial load and number of species on the ocular surface and eyelids significantly, with 0.1% PHMB being superior to 0.2% PI.
