Abstract

A German Shepherd dog was presented with history of chronic epiphora and clinically diagnosed as sclero corneal dermoid. Superficial excision of dermoid, tarsorrhaphy and third eye flap was carried out to provide faster healing. Sutures were removed on 7th post-operative day. The corneal wound healed leaving mild opacity which was fully cured on 21st post-operative day.
