I remember the earliest dogs I came into contact with when I was a child, except for the local dogs in the countryside, the poodles. It has a personality and a strong desire for expression. Its image resembles a lion. Know that this breed is the Pekingese dog, also known as Peking dog, court poodle, is an ancient Chinese dog breed, the Pekingese dog originated in China, from the Qin Shihuang era to the Qing Dynasty The Pekingese has always been a play dog in the palace, and has been favored in all dynasties. It is a well-balanced, compact dog with a heavy front and light hindquarters. It represents courage, boldness, and self-esteem more than beauty, elegance or sophistication.

Examination

1. Case introduction

Seen doctor on April 20, 2014, complained about the course of disease for one month, and was in other animal hospital Diagnosed and treated, medication is ineffective. The cornea of the right eye was cloudy (see Figure 1), there was a bulge on the cornea (see Figure 2), the cornea was swollen, the eyeball was red, swollen and tearful, and the sick dog was in good spirits.

Second, the diagnosis

After examination: the right eye was diagnosed with traumatic corneal opacity and corneal edema.

The formation of an opaque white scar on the surface of the cornea is called corneal opacity. Corneal opacity is the result of corneal edema and cellular infiltration, resulting in darkening and clouding of the superficial or deep layers of the cornea. Corneal opacity is generally milky white or orange-yellow. Mild corneal opacities appear cloudy or aerosol. In severe cases, the corneal stroma has a dense blue appearance, colloquially referred to as ground glass or blue eye. The new corneal opacity has inflammatory symptoms, the boundary is not obvious, and the surface is rough and slightly raised. The old corneal opacity has no inflammatory symptoms, and the state is obvious. In the case of deep turbidity, there is a side inspection, and a thin transparent layer can be seen on the turbid surface; in shallow turbidity, no thin transparent layer can be seen, and it is mostly blue cloudy.

Corneal edema is classified as diffuse or focal. Focal edema does not affect vision, and diffuse edema can cause some visual impairment. The nature of the eye is determined by lightly pressing the eye with a finger. If it is focal edema, it expands when pressing; if it is diffuse edema, the density increases when pressing on the edema.
