Outcome
All dogs were comfortable during the three weeks with the third eyelid
flap. No dog showed signs of pain and purulent discharge.
At the time of releasing the third eyelid flap, defects were completely
covered with epithelium and all defects showed neovascularization. (fig
4) Cases 1 and 2 were lost for further follow up. Regression of the
vascularization and increase of corneal transparency were clearly noted
six weeks postoperatively in cases 3 and 4 (fig. 5). At time of final
examination, the vision was excellent in all cases.
