Abstract

A two year old persian cat was presented with history of abnormal dark spot on the cornea. Physical and ophthalmic examination like schirmer tear test, fluorescein dye test and slit lamp biomicroscopy revealed chronic keratitis and corneal sequestrum. Partial keratectomy followed by pedicle bulbar conjunctival graft was undertaken and the animal recovered uneventfully after surgery with no recurrence.
