Two dogs with unilateral restrictive dorsolateral strabismus was referred to Royal Animal Medical Center. One dog had traumatic rupture of the medial rectus muscle and inferior oblique muscle after ocular proptosis. The other dog suffer congenital strabismus. Rupture of an medial rectus muscle is a common problem after ocular proptosis. clinically, abnormalities were restricted to the extraocular muscle with sparring of the masticatory muscles and limb muscles. According to aucultation, physical examination, radiography, these patients were normal condition. Although clients have requested reattachment of the medial rectus muscle, finding and reattaching fragment of torn muscle is not likely to be sucessful following proptosis injury. however, two cases was operated. Definitive repair requires firm reattachment of tendon to sclera with non absorbable suture support. One patient had a persistent small undercorrection in the primary gaze position. Surgical correction may restore eye position and vision. It also appears to be suitable for use in situation when other rectus muscles are absent or unavailable for surgical manipulation.
