The present study was conducted in 5 dogs with corneal ulcer, confirmed on the basis of gross examination and external ophthalmic stain. In all the cases, the corneal ulcer was successfully managed by temporary tarsorrhaphy along with topical application of atropine, broad-spectrum antibiotic and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug-ketorolac. In one dog, it was treated by sub-conjunctival injection of autologous serum. In all but one case, the corneal ulcer healed completely.
