Dear Thomas,
On 6/14/2009, “Prince” Gibson,
a 4 year-old, neutered male Shih Tzu was presented for a Descemetocele. The following is a summary of the visit:
Physical
Examination: Normal physical except for right eye Descemetocele
and distichiasis; breed related exophthalmia, stenotic nares,
elongated soft palate. T=101.2, respiration=42, pulse=80/min.
Additional examination revealed a microscopic hair (distichia),
which appears to be the primary irritant to the cornea.
Diagnosis: Ectopic cilia,
Descemetocele secondary to infectious ulcerative keratitis.
Anesthesia: 1 ml valium/ketamine via I.V. catheter; Isoflurane
gas maintenance. Routine monitoring throughout surgery.
Surgery:
Cilia: excised the hair and root en block with a #15 scalpel
blade. Descemetocele: cultured cornea, debrided cornea with
#6400 blade; due to severity of lesion, performed conjunctival
flap and sutured flap to cornea with 4-0 Silk.
Prognosis: good
Recommendations: Genamicin drops, 1 drop every 8 hours for 10
days then as directed. Cephalexin 500mg, 1 capsule every 8
hous for 7 days. Re-check with Dr. Dempsey in 3 days.
Comments:
Ms. Gibson was concerned with Prince’s constant snoring and
other breathing problems. I recommended she discuss this further
with Dr. Meyer.

concerns or questions regarding “Prince.”
Sincerely,
Dr. Laura Dempsey, DVM

Discharge Instructions:
Instructions for
“Prince” Gibson
June 14, 2009
Diagnosis: Ectopic cilia,
Descemetocele secondary to infectious ulcerative keratitis.
Prognosis: good
Recommendations:
Genamicin
drops, 1 drop every 8 hours for 10 days then as directed.
Cephalexin 500mg, 1 capsule every 8 hous for 7 days.
Re-check with Dr. Dempsey in 3 days.
Comments:
“Prince” sustained serious injury to his eye from a eyelash
rubbing against the cornea. Surgery was required to repair and
protect the damaged cornea. The wound was covered with a piece
of the eyelid lining (the conjunctiva). Depending on how well
the ulcer is healing, Dr. Dempsey may do one of several things:
"freshen up" the edges of a
slow-healing ulcer to stimulate healing; cover
the ulcer again for a few more days; or leave the eye open and
the healing/healed ulcer uncovered.
Allergies to the eye
medications are rare. If Prince seems more painful after the
medication is used, discontinue it and contact Dr. Dempsey.
