QuikVue Vet Case Share - dendritic corneal ulceration
We are glad to share a vet case study captured by QuikVue eye imaging adaptor from Dr. Allison Fuchs.
HOW GORGEOUS is this example of dendritic corneal ulceration?
Shockingly, this is a dog, not a cat! Do you know why that's surprising? Dendritic corneal ulcers (the beautiful superficial branching pattern seen here) are characteristic of herpesvirus keratitis! Feline herpesvirus is common and frequently causes corneal and ocular surface disease. Canine herpesvirus is not thought of as an ocular disease - but probably should be! It has been recognized as causing similar signs in dogs.
We are treating this canine patient similarly to a feline, with topical antiviral and antibiotic drops. We'll check back in a week or two for progress updates!
