1) The study used scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (SLO) and optical coherence tomography (OCT) to image the process of ecdysis, or molting, in the eyes of corn snakes and California king snakes over 5 days.
2) On the first day of ecdysis, the spectacle (transparent scale covering the cornea) became visible, and a space appeared between the old and new spectacles. The cornea also showed increased metabolic activity.
3) Over subsequent days, the space widened as the old spectacle was shed, vascularization of the new spectacle was seen using SLO, and the eye surface became transparent again by day 5 when the process was complete.
4) The study
Etude préliminaire sur la prévalence des anomalies de taux plasmatiques d'hormones sexuelles (testostéronémie, progestéronémie, oestradiolémie et prolactinémie) chez 14 chiens atteints d'insuffisance lacrymale
This document summarizes an article published in an Elsevier journal about the first reported cases of eye worm infection (Thelazia callipaeda) in dogs and a cat in France. Nematodes were recovered from infected animals and identified as T. callipaeda both morphologically and through DNA sequencing, which matched the haplotype 1 sequence previously identified in Europe. This represents the first reported autochthonous (locally acquired) cases of this parasite in dogs and cats in France, rather than cases in animals that had traveled to infected areas.
This case report describes a 7-year-old mixed breed dog that presented with vision loss and presumptive glaucoma in the right eye. Examination revealed corneal edema, areflexive mydriasis, cataract, and elevated intraocular pressure in the right eye. Ultrasound showed total retinal detachment and a mass lesion at the posterior pole. The glaucoma worsened over two months despite treatment. Reexamination showed the mass had enlarged significantly. The eye was enucleated and pathology confirmed a benign choroidal melanoma. This represents a rare presentation of choroidal melanoma in dogs, which usually causes secondary ocular changes like retinal detachment or glaucoma.
This case report describes a rare case of primary corneal hemangiosarcoma in a cat. The cat presented with chronic keratitis and ocular discharge in one eye that worsened over several months. Examination found a vascularized mass in the cornea. Histopathology of a keratectomy sample found highly cellular spindle and polygonal cells lining blood-filled spaces, consistent with hemangiosarcoma. The eye was eventually enucleated due to risk of recurrence and metastasis. This represents the first reported case of primary corneal hemangiosarcoma in a cat.
This case report describes a 1.5 year old female Scottish Terrier that presented with severe bilateral necrotizing scleritis. Both eyes showed signs of severe inflammation, scleral melting, and hypotony. The left eye was enucleated and histopathology revealed pyogranulomatous infiltration of the sclera, cornea, uvea, and orbital tissues. The right eye also had to be enucleated a week later due to perforation. Blood tests and serology were unremarkable. Anti-myeloperoxidase antibody levels in the dog's serum were not statistically different from healthy controls, suggesting this case did not involve an ANCA-associated vascul
