Abstract

The study was undertaken to evaluate the management of corneal ulceration in three male dogs (pug) aged between 2–18 months with superficial unilateral ulceration in two dogs and deep bilateral corneal ulceration with keratoconjunctivitis sicca in one dogs which was tentatively diagnosed based on clinical symptoms like ocular pain, corneal opacity, exophthalmic eyes with purulent discharge, photophobia, conjunctival hyperaemia and confirmed by fluorescein dye. Highest occurance was due of trauma because of pawing or by foreign bodies. Dogs were treated medicinally and recovered uneventfully.
