Corneal Ulcer Treatment for Dogs and Cats
Symptoms of corneal ulcer in pets
- Increased tears
- Mucous discharge
- Cloudy cornea
- Elevated third eyelid
Diagnosis of corneal ulcer in dogs and cats
To check the cornea and conjunctiva of your pet's eye, your veterinarian will:
- Use an ophthalmoscope
- Check tear production with a Schirmer tear test
- Put drops of fluorescence dye in the eye to check for corneal scratches or ulcers
- Observe that the dye flows down the nasolacrimal tear duct as it should.
