Uveitis - It's a Clinical Sign, Not A Diagnosis

Uveitis - It's a Clinical Sign, Not A Diagnosis
Uveitis - It's a Clinical Sign, Not A Diagnosis

Think of uveitis as an ocular lymphadenopathy! What caused the inflammation? 

Often, anterior and/or posterior uveitis is simply a manifestation of a systemic disease. It may also be secondary to cataract (in dogs), neoplasia (in elderly patients) and corneal disease. Though many cases may be idiopathic, a diagnosis of uveitis mandates a thorough investigation to uncover the primary cause. Prompt treatment is required, as complications resulting from uveitis may lead to blindness. However, treatment without proper diagnosis will usually result only in temporary relief, and may very well endanger the patient’s life as a potentially grave systemic condition is not diagnosed.

This dog has glaucoma – what do I need to know and do?
In this webinar we will discuss canine glaucoma – discovering that it is not a simple disease but a complex problem with many potential causes which will have an impact on our approach to treatment. So, we will look at examples of acute and chronic glaucoma in the dog and reflect on the primary and secondary aetiologies before considering how best to approach management. An understanding of the mechanisms for the production, flow and drainage of aqueous from the eye is necessary to fully appreciate these different types of glaucoma. Illustrations of the different clinical presentations will be included together with mention of the breed predispositions to glaucoma which we encounter. We will concentrate on medical management and how to assess response to treatment but will briefly mention the surgical options available. By the end of the webinar you should be more confident in diagnosing the condition and understand what you need to do for the patient.
