Surgical management of unilateral cherry eye condition in two male beagles

Abstract

Two male beagles of 22 and 18 months of age respectively were presented to the Veterinary clinical complex, College of Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Pantnagar with the chief complaint of a round mass being present in the left eye of both the dogs. Ophthalmic examination was done to check for the reflexes and affected eyes appeared normal for both the beagles. Condition was corrected surgically by using Morgan’s pocket technique. Post-operatively topical eye drops were recommended for one month. Dogs recovered successfully without any complications and no report of recurrence was reported for a period of 3 and 4 months respectively.
