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.
