Abstract
A nine-year-old male dog presented with blepharospasm and epiphora in the right eye was diagnosed to have a penetrating corneal foreign body. As the dog was non-cooperative, it was decided to remove the foreign body under general anesthesia. The ocular cul-de-sac was irrigated with 0.5% povidone iodine solution under general anesthesia and the foreign body was removed carefully using a fine needle tip. The cornea was checked for its intactness at the site of injury and found a small penetrating wound. Postoperative medication was given for seven postoperative days. The dog was able to close its eyelids partially by first operative day and the symptoms such as blepharospasm and epiphora were subsided by second postoperative day. Complete recovery was noticed by seventh postoperative day and no postoperative complications were recorded. Keywords: Blepharospasm, corneal foreign body, epiphora, surgical management, thorn Cite this Article V. Tejaswani, P. Ravi Kumar .
