“…It is possible that rubbing at the eye, such as in humans that develop ACH, could result in a break . Chronic corneal irritation is known to incite ulceration and is a suspect cause of sequestration in cats . FACH may be an extension of the same spectrum.…”

“…Female Persian cats were overpresented, with corneal sequestration mainly seen in Siamese, Persian, and Himalayan in this study. All breeds, gender, and age group are susceptible to developing corneal ulcers (34,35), though owners' preference to raise female cats may be implicated. In this study, male dogs were more presented than female.…”

Corneal Ulcer in Dogs and Cats: Novel Clinical Application of Regenerative Therapy Using Subconjunctival Injection of Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma

et al. 2021

Background: Corneal ulcer could be a major source of distress in small animals, with many contributing agents. In recent years, few studies evaluated the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in healing corneal ulcers.Aim: This study aimed to assess the ability of subconjunctival injection of autologous PRP in the treatment of corneal ulcers in dogs and cats as well as estimate the expression of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-2, MMP-9, and oxidative stress biomarkers in these patients.Methods: A total number of 28 animals (16 cats and 12 dogs) were enrolled in this study. Each animal was subjected to clinical, neurologic, and ophthalmic examinations where the type of ulcer was documented. Tear samples were collected for evaluation of oxidative biomarkers and MMPs; conjunctival swabs were taken to identify the involved organism. PRP was prepared from each animal and given as subconjunctival injection; numbers of injections were done according to case response. Clinical follow-up was done and documented for each case.Results: In cat patients, female and Persian cats were most affected; unilateral and superficial ulcers were most recorded. In male dogs, unilateral, and superficial ulcers were most recorded. FHV-1 was most identified in cats, while Staphylococcus aureus was most identified in dogs. Numbers of injections needed to achieve healing were recorded, with 50% of dogs needing two injections with 1-week intervals and 50% of cats needed three injections with 1-week intervals. Alterations in both oxidative biomarkers and MMPs were recorded in affected animals.Conclusion: The use of autologous PRP as a subconjunctival injection in treating corneal ulcers in dogs and cats is effective. The number of injections is the case and corneal ulcer type-dependent.Clinical Significance: Autologous PRP as a subconjunctival injection in treating corneal ulcer is a relatively cheap, safe method and can be done in the clinical setting.

“…Nos casos crônicos ou graves, os animais apresentam também dor ocular, que se caracteriza por blefaroespamo, epífora, enoftalmia, protusão da membrana nictante, fotofobia e, eventualmente, apatia e anorexia (Dalla et al, 2007;Townsend et al, 2008;Viega, 2018). Os sinais clínicos apresentados pelo paciente desse relato foram blefaroespasmo e epífora, o que indicava que ele estava apresentando dor ocular.…”

“…O tratamento clínico só é recomendado em casos que o felino não possui muito desconforto, não há possibilidade de haver complicações e se a lesão não se tornou profunda (Baptista, 2019). Em Dalla et al (2007) avaliaram a eficácia do tratamento clínico em 37 pacientes com sequestro corneal felino. Utilizaram três medicamentos: colírio de lágrima artificial uma vez ao dia, colírio de acetilcisteína três vezes ao dia e colírio antibiótico de amplo espectro 4 vezes ao dia.…”

O sequestro corneal é uma patologia estabelecida a partir da necrose do estroma que leva ao desenvolvimento de uma pigmentação difusa ou bem demarcada, com variações entre preto e dourado. Essa doença é grave e afeta os olhos de felinos de diferentes idades, sendo que o tratamento precoce e apropriado evita complicações como dor e a perfuração ocular. O prognóstico é frequentemente favorável, porém há riscos de recorrência caso o tratamento não seja realizado adequadamente. O objetivo desse trabalho é relatar um caso de sequestro corneal unilateral em um felino da raça persa de dois anos de idade, o qual foi corrigido a partir de ceratectomia superficial.
