“…In our study, subconjunctival hemorrhage was observed in 7 cats (38.88%) and the cause of the trauma was found to fall from a height (4/7). However, the findings of the current study do not support that study (Saastamoinen et al 2019). Possible explanation for this controversy may be the lack of adequate number of cases and differention of the species.…”

Head trauma may lead to damage of soft tissue and bones of skull by an external force. The modified Glasgow coma scale (mGCS) is used to evaluate the prognosis and classify the neurological status of cats and dogs with head trauma. The aim of this study is determine the ophtalmic pathologies and the incidence of these pathologies as a result of head trauma in cats. In addition, any possible correlation between intraocular pressure (IOP) and mGCS will be investigated in traumatized cats. The animal material of the study consisted of 18 cats with acute head trauma. The animals were properly restricted so that mGCS scores were recorded. Systematic eye examination was performed as far as the clinical condition of the patient allowed during the clinical examination and treatment of the traumatized cats. Proptosis was observed in 4 cats (22.22%) as unilaterally in 3 cats and bilaterally in 1 cat. Subconjunctival hemorrhage was observed in 7 cats (38.88%) as bilaterally in 2 cats and unilaterally in 5 cats. Unilateral hyphema was observed in 2 cats (11.11%). Three cats had anisocoria (16.66%), 2 cats had unilateral nystagmus (11.11%), and 1 cat had unilateral Horner's syndrome (5.55%). In cats with glaucoma the median mGCS was 8 (score 4-15), while non-glaucoma the median mGCS was 9 (score 6-14). However, no statistical correlation was found between mGCS and glaucoma (p>0.05). The results of this study indicate that glaucoma, subconjunctival hemorrhage and proptosis are the most common pathologies in cats with head trauma and these pathologies should not be ignored during the intervention of the head trauma patients. In addition, it is thought that irreversible loss of vision can be prevented by frequently repeated IOP measurements, regardless of the mGCS score, in cases with head trauma.

Owners of dogs with ocular issues often suspect their pet’s eye problems are linked to recent grooming visits. A medical records search was performed to identify dogs presenting with ocular complaints initially noted within 24 hr of a commercial grooming appointment. Data collected included signalment, type of injury, treatment, and notations regarding behavioral issues potentially contributing to injury. One hundred sixty-one episodes involving 159 dogs were identified. Male dogs accounted for 57% of episodes. Median age at presentation was 59 mo. Shih tzu were involved in 34% of incidents, and 71% involved small-breed dogs. Aggressive or reactive behaviors were reported in 33% of dogs. Corneal ulceration was the most common injury (71% of incidents), followed by conjunctivitis (11%), eyelid lacerations (7%), and subconjunctival hemorrhage (6%). Surgical management was required in 14% of cases, including four dogs that underwent enucleation. Ocular injury during grooming appointments can occur via several mechanisms including trauma, exposure to grooming products, or inadvertent strangulation. Small-breed dogs, particularly shih tzu, appear to be at increased risk. Reactive or aggressive behavior likely increases risk of ocular injury. Veterinarians can help limit grooming-associated ocular injuries by recommending behavioral or pharmacological interventions before grooming visits.
