Abstract

|
|
|
An 1.6-year-old female Shih Tzu was presented with corneal perforation, descemetocele, and deep corneal ulcer in the left eye. A bovine amniotic membrane graft which preserved in lyophylized dry form and a third eyelid flap were applied. After 14 days, the cornea was fluorescein-negative. At day 42 postoperatively, only a moderate scar at the corneal center was showed. At the 10-month follow-up, there was clear cornea with a mild scar.
