Eyes are the window to understand the world for hairy children, but the eye health of hairy children is easy to be ignored, because they have strong tolerance and are not easy to detect the rapid aggravation of eye diseases. It is particularly important to understand and prevent eye diseases.
Hairy child's eye problems must not be delayed.
In this issue, we invite Dr. Li Jing, an ophthalmologist from Pet International Animal Hospital, to share common ophthalmic cases encountered in diagnosis and treatment. It is hoped that parents will pay attention to their children's eye health, do a good job of prevention, early detection and early treatment.
Cat squint ignored deep corneal ulcer
Case description: About a week ago, the owner of the cat found that the right eye of the cat was squinting, and then the corner of the eye was sunken, and went to the hospital for treatment. The doctor found that there was a deep corneal ulcer in the right eye of the cat. The depth of the ulcer had reached one third of the total thickness of the cornea. It was suspected to be infected. It was diagnosed as stromal corneal ulcer.
Treatment plan
1. Signs of corneal infection, if the infection is not controlled, it will further develop into corneal dissolution, requiring the use of sensitive antibiotics to actively inhibit infection;
About Corneal Ulcer Doctor Reminder
Corneal ulcers are usually superficial first, and then develop into deep ulcers after the infection is aggravated. If the course of the disease is not stopped in time at this time, the ulcer may be further deepened. If it develops to corneal perforation, surgery is needed.
Garfield suffers from ophthalmic emergency keratolysis
Case description: This Garfield cat was treated in other hospitals for corneal ulcer for two weeks without obvious improvement. It had severe corneal edema and jelly-like softening appearance changes. It was transferred to Pet International Animal Hospital for treatment.
After examination, it was found that the corneal dissolution of the cat's right eye presented the appearance of bullous keratitis, the prominent cornea caused the eyelid to be unable to close completely, the corneal dissolution was further aggravated, and there were moderate neovascularization on the cornea. The
Treatment principles
1. Select sensitive antibiotics, use multiple antibiotics in combination to prevent further development of corneal dissolution, and use autologous serum (stock solution extracted from autologous blood) to achieve better therapeutic effect;
What Causes Corneal Dissolution in Cats
Extrinsic cause: Because of bacteria in the process of corneal infection, lytic enzymes are overactive, resulting in the dissolution of the cornea itself, showing a jelly-like softening appearance.
Doctors warn that early detection is the key.
The development of corneal dissolution is very fast, the fastest course of development can occur within 24 hours of corneal perforation, leading to animal blindness, is a kind of ophthalmic emergency, but because of the appearance of the early corneal ulcer, many doctors and owners did not pay attention to it, delaying the B est treatment time, although this kind of disease is not so serious in the early stage, but it develops rapidly. We must have a correct understanding of the disease and intervene as soon as possible, so as to ensure the preservation of vision and reduce the area of corneal damage.
The Great Threat of Cataract Blindness
Case 1 Cataract causes dog blindness
Treatment plan
At present, surgery is the only effective way to treat cataracts, including the removal of turbid lenses and the implantation of intraocular lenses. The owner chose to perform phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation in the left eye. Phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation should be performed as early as possible in the case of blindness caused by
Why can you get cataract?
1. Cataract may be congenital (born with abnormal development in the mother's body) and age-related (dogs and cats suffer from it in old age).
Case 2 Retinal degeneration secondary to cataract
Examination and treatment
Cataract OU + uveitis OS + progressive retinal atrophy after examination.
The doctor reminded me
Sometimes the animal's eye disease is very hidden. The dog actually had abnormal vision several months ago, but unfortunately it was not diagnosed and treated in time. Although the disease of retinal degeneration can eventually lead to blindness, the earlier the early detection, the earlier the use of antioxidant drugs to intervene, it may be able to delay the development of the disease and gain a few months of light for small animals. For ophthalmologists, as long as they can get a few more months or weeks for their children, even if only a few days of light, it is also a happy thing, but this vision requires the active cooperation of parents, to ensure that abnormalities are brought to the hospital in time.
Message interaction has exclusive benefits
Through the above cases, do you also have children with eye problems that need to be consulted? Or have relevant experiences to share? You can leave a message to ask questions for interaction. We will invite Dr. Li Jing, an ophthalmologist, to provide online consultation benefits (not real-time online answers). Seize the opportunity (the upper limit of questions and answers is not more than 20). Additional benefits for users in
