Good and Bad Eye Ulcers - When to Worry?

A corneal ulcer is an inflammatory condition of the cornea in-volving loss of its outer layer. In veterinary medicine, the term corneal ulcer is a generic name for any condition involving the loss of the outer layer of the cornea, and as such is used to describe conditions with both inflammatory and traumatic causes. Corneal ulcers are one of the most common eye dis-eases in dogs. They are caused by trauma, detergent burns, and infections.
