Descemetocele in a cat.
I was presented with a cat with a corneal ulcer on the left eye that has been undergoing medical treatment for 2 weeks. The inflammation and infection was well controlled, but the ulcer progressed to descemetocele, probably due to self trauma. (image1)
Descemetocele is when the corneal ulcer is so deep, there is only one thin layer left. That layer is called the descemet. It is so thin that it bulges out due to the pressure inside the eye. One more poke, and the cornea will rupture. This is an emergency case where surgery is advised to be perform ASAP.
I suggested conjunctival flap, but due to owner's financial constrant, we settled at simple third eyelid flap along with medical treatment (antibiotics, antiinflammation, autologous serum, artificial tear, atropine sulfate drop)
The suture stayed for 3 weeks before removal. The result was satisfactory, with the descemet layer pushed back into place and granulation tissue (red patch) was formed around the lesion (image2)
At week4, scarring of the granulation is visible. (red patch start to become white) (image 3)
At week 6, all granulation is disappeared and scarring is complete. (image 4) I finished the medication here.
At week 8, the lesion is stable. There's a tiny bit of thin spot in the middle, but fluoresciene does not stain. The cat has no pain, and visual function is excellent, I call this case completed.
This is probably as good as it can get with this treatment. If we had used conjunctival flap there wouldn't be that weak point in the middle, but the aethetic will be uglier. (the flap will impede the vision somewhat). So third eyelid flap is an ok method. It is easy enough to performed by general vets and it is significantly cheaper too.
For this one, I'm comfortable with the lesion enough to dischage the case with no further appointment.

Anecdotally I can tell you about the saddest dog I have met in my life - and I only worked at a the small animal clinic as a vet for three months in the summer. If I had stayed, I would have met countless others.
A fenchie that was shockingly underweight because he had previously suffered complications after surgery because of his obstructed airways (BOAS). The surgeon had told the owners that the dog couldn’t be put under anasthaesia again because chances were extremely high that he wouldn’t survive it.
He came in because of an corneal injury - this is another thing that is very common with brachy dogs because of their protruding eyes and flat face. They scratch their eyes very easily on sticks, bushes, sharp corners and get deep ulcers on their eyes, simply because of the way their face looks. This is very painful and also often leads to infection which is why antibiotics are most often used - even small scratches can easily worsen to involve more layers of the eye, and go deeper. Surgery is most often needed to remove the dead and damaged layers of the cornea for the healthy tissue to be able to heal - same principle as with skin wounds. Worst case scenario is you have to remove the entire eye in the end if it doesn’t respond to treatment and to relieve the animal of the pain from the eye (enucleation).
This dog got a referral so I have no idea what happened to it of course, I only diagnosed it with the corneal ulcer - it was big and deep and it wasn’t the first time for this dog. And it couldn’t have surgery, because of its BOAS. But the ulcer needs surgery because it’s extremely painful and will most likely get worse and worse. So… :) I hope they managed to treat their dog in some way but… Imagine a scenario where you had to put your dog down because it scratched its eye on a small stick - because it’s bred to not be able to breathe and will die if you put it through surgery. I know that this was an extreme case of course, but it was still because of its airways in the end.

Now the fluoroquinolones go toe to toe! Both of these medications work by binding the topoisomerase IV/gyrase-DNA complex. Their most unique adverse effect is tendon rupture (avoid in kids and older adults!), and they shouldn't be used in myasthenia gravis patients as they can exacerbate the condition. Both can be used as post-exposure prophylaxis for anthrax. So which fluoroquinolone should move forward?
Ciprofloxacin: Of the fluoroquinolones, cipro has the best activity against both pseudomonas and gram negatives, notably the Enterobacteriaceae. It has a wide variety of uses, and among the most interesting (to me) are treatment of the plague and typhoid fever. On the more mundane side, it's mostly used for GI and GU infections. It can also be formulated as ophthalmic or otic drops for corneal ulcers/conjunctivitis and acute otitis externa, respectively. Beware though: it inhibits cytochrome P450, increasing the risk of drug interactions.
Levofloxacin: levo is considered a respiratory fluoroquinolone since it is mostly (but not exclusively) used for respiratory infections. While levo doesn't cover those fascinating bugs of plague and typhoid fever, it makes up for it by not inhibiting cytochrome P450. As with all fluoroquinolones, it should not be taken with dairy, as it can bind to the calcium and be rendered ineffective.
Vote for the best antibiotic

Vet Med in Warrior Cats: Whitecough, Greencough, and Yellowcough
Disclaimer
The two main respiratory infections in the warriors series are whitecough and greencough. Whitecough is less severe and can progress to greencough, which has worse symptoms and a graver prognosis. Vicky Holmes states in the 3rd Erin Hunter chat that whitecough is similar to a cough (likely an upper respiratory infection) and greencough is pneumonia (lower respiratory infection), but the specific diseases that each of these coughs represent is never mentioned. The name “greencough” comes from the green fluid that cats cough up when they are affected, whereas cats with whitecough are stated to cough up clear (serous) fluid. A third respiratory disease, yellow cough, makes an appearance in the A Vision of Shadows series. The disease presents similarly to greencough but does not respond to catmint.
There is no way to tell which pathogens each of these diseases might be caused by because the symptoms of each pathogen are very similar, so they are likely caused by several different pathogens and/or combinations. Feline respiratory disease complex (FRDC) is a major cause of upper respiratory infections in cats and is caused by any of the following pathogens, alone or in combination: feline herpes virus (FVR), feline calicivirus (FCV), mycoplasma felis, and chlamydia felis. Bartonella henselae and Bordetella bronchiseptica can also contribute to symptoms. FVR and FCV specifically cause 80-90% of the respiratory disease that is observed in cats. These pathogens are spread by respiratory droplets, direct contact with infected cats, or contact with fomites (objects that have come into contact with the pathogen). Previously infected cats can carry and spread FVR or FCV without showing clinical signs. Acute signs include fever, sneezing, nasal discharge, conjunctivitis, and rhinitis. “Coughing” is not a symptom of respiratory infections in cats, but it is frequently mentioned in Warriors. Cats cough when affected by a lower respiratory infection, laryngeal infection, allergies, or heartworms, but rarely cough as a result of an upper respiratory infection. Symptoms are often more severe in very old and very young cats, which is consistent with the books since kits and elders die the most often from whitecough or greencough. Cats that have respiratory infections in warriors are often shown to refuse food, which is consistent with findings that sick and/or feverish animals are often anorexic. Calicivirus causes painful lesions in the mouth, which can also contribute to cats refusing to eat. 
FRDC is generally self limiting and resolves itself in 5-10 days in mild cases, but can take up to 6 weeks to resolve completely in more severe cases. Because of this, mild to moderate respiratory infections could be treated with just supportive care. Medicine cats do this by providing food, water, and rest to infected cats, which is why most cases of whitecough or other nondescript respiratory diseases are resolved in the series. The bigger issue is when there are more severe cases or cases that have ocular involvement. 
Ocular involvement can result from almost any respiratory disease causing agent, and can range from discharge to severe conjunctivitis, ulcers, and even globe rupture. Conjunctivitis and other ocular symptoms of respiratory disease are never mentioned in Warriors besides some mild tearing. I will be talking about this issue more in an ocular section later on, as it connects to some broader issues. 
To treat more severe cases of respiratory disease, veterinarians often use antivirals, antibiotics, and/or antifungal depending on the pathogens present. Supportive care should also be provided, in addition to feeding tubes and/or treatment of corneal ulcers if necessary. Medicine cats provide supportive care to their patients by providing them with food, water, and warm, dry bedding. For many cases of respiratory disease, this should be enough to help the cat survive since disease is usually self limiting and will resolve with time. A variety of herbs are used in Warriors to treat respiratory infections, but the most notable is catmint. Catmint is also known as catnip, and it is famously known to have psychological effects on cats by acting first as a stimulant from the smell and then a sedative from ingestion. While its effects mimic pheromones, which can be calming, there is no evidence that catmint can be used to combat respiratory disease. Catnip can also be toxic in large doses, causing nausea and vomiting. Cats also become slowly more resistant to its effects with repeated use. Chickweed and Hawkweed are both less effective treatments for greencough. Chickweed has been shown to have some antimicrobial properties, though it is most effective against salmonella and E.coli, both of which are not respiratory pathogens. Hawkweed has been used in some European countries to ease respiratory disease and asthma symptoms, but there has not been research on this. In Long Shadows, tansy is introduced as a way to prevent whitecough from progressing to greencough. Though tansy has been used for various medical issues in humans, it has never been reported to be used for respiratory disease. Coltsfoot is an herb that eases breathing, so it is commonly used for respiratory distress. Coltsfoot was historically used for coughs and respiratory distress in people, and recent studies have proved its efficacy in reducing lung inflammation. Brighteye and lovage are also mentioned briefly in Mistystar’s Omen as another treatment for coughing. These two herbs have been shown to improve symptoms of respiratory disease and allergies in humans, but have not been researched sufficiently. Lungwort is the herb that is presented to Puddleshine by Starclan to treat the emergent yellowcough epidemic in Shadowclan. Lungwort has been used to ease tuberculosis and asthma in humans, but again, there is no substantial research to back this. In addition, Birchsap is briefly mentioned as another possible treatment for yellowcough, but it’s not seen being used in the books. Birchsap traditionally has various medical and cosmetic uses in some cultures, but no research has been done to prove its efficacy. 
Overall, the Warriors series gives a fairly accurate depiction of respiratory illness while leaving out some crucial details. The omittance of any ocular involvement, especially in young kittens where it is most prevalent, is a large oversight. The description of the disease process is mostly accurate, however coughing is not as common of a symptom as nasal discharge and rhinitis. Cats in feral colonies are often carrying these diseases without actively showing symptoms, which is why bouts of whitecough can appear suddenly in a clan (especially in times of stress and poor nutrition such as leafbare, which would suppress the cat’s immune responses). As far as treatment goes, medicine cats are providing adequate care to most cats but simply taking care of their basic needs. In more severe cases, medicine is needed. While none of the herbs listed can effectively mimic an antibiotic or antiviral, hawkweed, coltsfoot, brighteye, lovage, and lungwort seem like the most accurate treatments for infection used in the books. Coltsfoot specifically has the most evidence for easing respiratory symptoms, and would be beneficial for medicine cats to use in moderate to severe cases of respiratory disease.

Going through ABFM CKSA questions:
An acute red eye is a common presentation in primary care and it is critical to differentiate serious causes from benign causes. Pain is an important distinguishing feature for the acute red eye. Episcleritis is a self-limited condition that can be idiopathic or associated with autoimmune conditions. It is more common in females and usually presents with mild discomfort and focal hyperemia. Discerning episcleritis from scleritis is important. In general, the inflamed vessels of episcleritis will move with gentle pressure from a cotton-tipped applicator whereas those with scleritis will not, and the pain of scleritis is more intense. The treatment of episcleritis is symptomatic with topical lubricants and oral NSAIDs. If recurrent episodes occur, an autoimmune workup should be considered. Conjunctivitis is typically associated with a discharge that is clear in viral cases and mucopurulent in bacterial cases. Iritis is associated with significant pain, a poorly reactive pupil, diminished vision, and photophobia. This patient does not have changes in visual acuity, photophobia, or severe pain as seen in keratitis, which would also cause an abnormal fluorescein stain showing corneal ulceration.
A Cochrane review reports good evidence that salicylic acid is effective for the treatment of plantar warts. Candida injections may be indicated for warts that are difficult to treat, but they are not considered a first-line treatment. The application of duct tape has not been shown to be more effective than placebo. Manual paring and extraction of plantar warts carries a greater risk for complications and is not necessary for flat, minimally bothersome warts. Laser treatment may be effective, but the cost is not justified as initial therapy in this case.

Warning Signs of Serious Eye Problems You Shouldn’t Ignore
Our eyes are one of the most sensitive and vital organs, allowing us to perceive the world around us. However, many people overlook early warning signs of eye diseases that could lead to vision loss if left untreated. Being aware of these signs and seeking timely medical attention can help prevent permanent damage. Here are some serious eye problems you should never ignore:
1. Sudden Vision Loss
A sudden loss of vision, whether partial or complete, could indicate a serious underlying condition such as retinal detachment, stroke, or optic nerve damage. Immediate medical attention is required to prevent further complications.
2. Frequent Blurry Vision
Occasional blurry vision may not be a cause for concern, but if it persists, it could be a sign of refractive errors, cataracts, glaucoma, or even diabetic retinopathy. Regular eye checkups can help diagnose the condition early.
3. Persistent Eye Pain
Eye pain that does not subside could be linked to conditions like glaucoma, uveitis, corneal ulcers, or even optic neuritis. Severe pain should not be ignored as it may signal an infection or inflammation needing urgent treatment.
4. Sudden Flashes and Floaters
Flashes of light and an increase in floaters (small dark spots or shapes in your vision) could be symptoms of a retinal tear or detachment. Immediate evaluation by an eye specialist is necessary to prevent vision loss.
5. Redness and Swelling
Persistent redness and swelling could indicate infections like conjunctivitis, keratitis, or even an autoimmune disorder affecting the eyes. Chronic redness accompanied by discomfort warrants an eye examination.
6. Difficulty Seeing at Night
If you find it increasingly difficult to see in low light, it may be an early sign of cataracts, vitamin A deficiency, or retinitis pigmentosa. Early detection can help manage the condition effectively.
7. Halos Around Lights
Seeing halos around lights can indicate cataracts or glaucoma. This symptom often results from increased intraocular pressure or changes in the eye’s lens, requiring a detailed assessment.
8. Sensitivity to Light
Excessive sensitivity to light, known as photophobia, may be linked to corneal conditions, inflammation, or infections. If accompanied by pain or redness, seeking medical advice is essential.
9. Double Vision
Double vision (diplopia) can result from neurological disorders, cataracts, or issues with eye muscles. It should be assessed immediately, as it may indicate serious health problems like strokes or brain injuries.
10. Eye Discharge and Excessive Tearing
Persistent eye discharge or excessive tearing may be a sign of infection, blocked tear ducts, or dry eye syndrome. Treatment depends on the underlying cause and should be determined by an eye specialist.
Protect Your Vision with Regular Eye Checkups
Ignoring eye problems can lead to irreversible vision loss. Regular checkups with an experienced ophthalmologist ensure early detection and timely intervention. Vasu Eye Institute & Skin Centre, recognized as one of the Best Eye Hospitals in Punjab, offers state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment services for a wide range of eye conditions. If you experience any of these warning signs, do not delay seeking expert care.
Takeaway
Your eyes deserve the best care. Stay proactive in maintaining eye health and consult a trusted specialist at Vasu Eye Institute & Skin Centre for comprehensive eye care solutions.

Can Allergies Turn into an Eye Emergency? What You Should Know
Allergies can be a real nuisance, causing itchy, watery eyes, and general discomfort. While most allergy symptoms are manageable with over-the-counter medications and home remedies, it's important to know when allergies can escalate into an eye emergency.
Typical Allergy Symptoms:
Itchy eyes
Watery eyes
Redness
Burning sensation
Puffy eyelids
These symptoms are usually caused by allergens such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, or mold.
When Allergies Become an Eye Emergency:
While allergies themselves don't typically cause eye emergencies, they can contribute to or mask more serious conditions. Here are situations where you should seek immediate medical attention:
Sudden Vision Changes: If you experience sudden blurred vision, double vision, or loss of vision, it's not just allergies. This could indicate a more serious problem.
Severe Eye Pain: While allergies can cause discomfort, they shouldn't cause severe eye pain. Intense pain could be a sign of an infection, corneal ulcer, or glaucoma.
Chemical Exposure: If your eyes come into contact with chemicals, allergies can exacerbate the irritation. This is a medical emergency requiring immediate flushing and treatment.
Signs of Infection: If you notice thick discharge, increased redness, or sensitivity to light, it could be a sign of an eye infection, which can be worsened by allergies.
Swelling That Impairs Vision: If your eyelids swell so much that they obstruct your vision, you need to seek emergency care.
Foreign Object Sensation: If you have an intense feeling that something is stuck in your eye, and it is not relieved by flushing your eye, it needs to be examined.
Why Allergies Can Confuse Matters:
Allergies can weaken the eye's defenses, making it more susceptible to infections. Also, constant rubbing and itching can damage the cornea, increasing the risk of complications.
What You Can Do:
Manage Allergies: Use over-the-counter allergy eye drops or oral antihistamines to relieve symptoms.
Avoid Allergens: Identify and avoid your triggers.
Practice Good Hygiene: Wash your hands frequently and avoid touching your eyes.
Keep Your Eyes Moist: Use artificial tears to lubricate dry, irritated eyes.
A B See Vision Care in Idaho Falls provides the following services:
Comprehensive Eye Exams: To assess your overall eye health and identify any underlying conditions.
Treatment of Eye Allergies: We can provide prescription eye drops and other treatments to manage your allergy symptoms.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Eye Infections: We can diagnose and treat eye infections that may be exacerbated by allergies.
Dry Eye Treatment: to help alleviate discomfort caused by allergies.
Referrals to Specialists: For emergency situations that require specialized care.

Welding Torches – The bright arc of light emitted during welding generates high-intensity UV radiation, making welders particularly susceptible to flash burns if they do not wear proper eye protection.
Sunlight Reflections – Snow, water, and sand can reflect UV rays, intensifying exposure and increasing the risk of eye damage.
Tanning Beds – UV lamps in tanning salons can cause flash burns if protective goggles are not worn.
Photographic and Stage Lighting – Powerful flashes of light used in photography or stage productions can contribute to temporary corneal damage.
Explosions and Fires – Bright flashes from explosions or fires can also lead to UV overexposure.

Symptoms of Flash Burn
The symptoms of flash burns typically appear a few hours after exposure and may include:
Eye Pain – A burning or gritty sensation in the eyes.
Redness – The eyes become irritated and inflamed.
Watery Eyes – Increased tear production as the eyes attempt to soothe the irritation.
Blurred Vision – Temporary vision impairment due to corneal inflammation.
Sensitivity to Light – The eyes become more sensitive to bright light.
Swelling of the Eyelids – Inflammation may extend to the surrounding tissues.
Headache – Discomfort due to strain and irritation in the eyes.
Diagnosis of Flash Burn
A medical professional, such as an ophthalmologist or optometrist, can diagnose a flash burn through:
Patient History – Understanding the patient’s recent exposure to UV light sources.
Slit Lamp Examination – A specialized microscope is used to inspect the cornea for signs of damage.
Fluorescein Staining – A dye is applied to the eye, which highlights any corneal abrasions under blue light.

Complications of Flash Burn
While most flash burns heal without long-term consequences, complications may arise if left untreated:
Corneal Ulcers – Severe burns can lead to open sores on the cornea, increasing the risk of infection.
Scarring – Permanent scarring of the cornea may affect vision.
Chronic Dry Eye – Damage to the cornea can impair tear production, leading to persistent dryness.
Vision Impairment – In extreme cases, flash burns can contribute to long-term vision problems.
Prevention of Flash Burn
Preventing flash burns requires protective measures, especially for individuals frequently exposed to UV light:
Wear Protective Eyewear
Welders should always wear helmets with appropriate UV-filtering lenses.
Safety goggles with UV protection should be used in environments with intense light exposure.
Use UV-Blocking Sunglasses
Sunglasses with 100% UV protection can reduce exposure from sunlight reflections on water, snow, or sand.
Limit Direct Exposure to UV Light
Avoid prolonged exposure to bright lights, including tanning beds and high-intensity lamps.
Follow Safety Guidelines in Workplaces
Employers should enforce safety protocols to protect workers from UV radiation.

granulation tissue in healing corneal ulcer can look really scary.
This dog presented to me after they received treatment for corneal ulcer at a generalist clinic for two weeks. as the left image showed, the red, raising tissue on the eye looks scary. the owner was concerned and decided to get specialist care.
it actually wasn’t a bad thing that these red tissue appear on healing cornea. i adjusted their medication only slightly, and after 10 days the cornea becomes what it looks like on the right image. scar tissue is replacing the granulation. the dog has no pain. This is considered healed. i expect it to become gradually more transparent over a few weeks to months.
the clinic did everything right, they just weren’t able to explain the scary red thing to the owners satisfactory.
dog also has really bad atopic dermatitis. which can very well be the cause of scratch that made the ulcer appear in the first place. we’re taking care of that next.

Oculoplastic Surgery for Eyelid Malposition: Ectropion and Entropion Repair
 Eyelid malposition can cause significant discomfort and visual impairment. Two common conditions affecting eyelid positioning are ectropion and entropion. These conditions can lead to chronic irritation, excessive tearing, and even damage to the cornea if left untreated. Fortunately, Oculoplastic Surgery offers effective solutions to correct these issues and restore normal eyelid function.
Tumblr media
What is Ectropion?
Ectropion is a condition where the eyelid, typically the lower one, turns outward. This results in exposure of the inner eyelid surface, leading to excessive tearing, dryness, and irritation. Causes of ectropion include:
Aging: The most common cause due to weakening of the eyelid muscles.
Scarring: Previous surgeries, trauma, or burns can lead to skin tightness, pulling the eyelid outward.
Facial Paralysis: Conditions such as Bell's palsy can affect eyelid muscles, causing ectropion.
Congenital Factors: Some individuals are born with ectropion due to genetic predisposition.
Symptoms of Ectropion
Persistent eye irritation and redness
Excessive tearing (epiphora)
Sensitivity to light and wind
Chronic eye infections
Corneal damage due to prolonged exposure
What is Entropion?
Entropion is the inward turning of the eyelid, causing the eyelashes to rub against the cornea. This can result in pain, irritation, and an increased risk of corneal ulcers. Causes of entropion include:
Aging: Similar to ectropion, aging weakens the muscles that support the eyelid.
Scar Tissue: Scarring from infections or trauma can pull the eyelid inward.
Spasms: Muscle contractions around the eyelid may cause involuntary inward turning.
Congenital Factors: Some people are born with entropion due to genetic influences.
Symptoms of Entropion
Eye discomfort and foreign body sensation
Redness and tearing
Increased eye infections
Corneal abrasions and ulcers
Oculoplastic Surgery for Eyelid Malposition
When non-surgical treatments such as lubricating eye drops and temporary eyelid taping fail, oculoplastic surgery becomes the best option for correcting eyelid malposition. At Amanat Eye Hospital, expert oculoplastic surgeons specialize in these delicate procedures, ensuring optimal outcomes for patients.
Surgical Correction of Ectropion
Oculoplastic surgeons perform several procedures to correct ectropion, depending on the cause:
Lateral Tarsal Strip Surgery: Tightens the lower eyelid to reposition it correctly.
Skin Grafting: Used when scarring causes ectropion, requiring additional skin to restore eyelid position.
Medial and Lateral Canthal Suspension: Supports the eyelid by repositioning its attachments.
Surgical Correction of Entropion
Entropion surgery is aimed at preventing eyelid inversion and protecting the cornea. Techniques include:
Lower Eyelid Retractor Reinforcement: Strengthens the eyelid retractors to maintain normal positioning.
Everting Sutures: Temporarily or permanently reposition the eyelid.
Cicatricial Release with Skin Grafting: Used in severe cases where scarring is responsible for the inward turning.
Post-Surgery Recovery and Care
After undergoing ectropion or entropion surgery, patients at Amanat Eye Hospital receive detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure smooth recovery:
Medication: Antibiotic eye drops or ointments to prevent infection.
Cold Compresses: Reduce swelling and bruising.
Activity Restrictions: Avoid rubbing the eyes and strenuous activities for a few weeks.
Follow-Up Visits: Regular check-ups to monitor healing progress and address any concerns.
