    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A Miniature Pinscher developed corneal edema after cataract surgery due to a hypertonic salt eyewash. Superficial keratectomy and nictitans flaps successfully treated this complication.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Veterinary Medicine
    • Surgical Complications

    Background:

    • Cataract surgery (lentectomy) is a common procedure in veterinary ophthalmology.
    • Post-operative care is crucial for successful outcomes and preventing complications.

    Observation:

    • A 4-year-old Miniature Pinscher presented with bilateral cataracts, which were surgically removed.
    • Within six days post-surgery, severe bilateral superficial corneal edema developed.
    • The owner reported using a hypertonic salt solution as an eyewash after the lentectomy.

    Findings:

    • The corneal edema was diagnosed as a complication likely induced by the hypertonic salt eyewash.
    • Treatment involved bilateral superficial keratectomy and membrana nictitans flaps.
    • This therapeutic approach successfully resolved the corneal edema.

    Implications:

    • Hypertonic solutions should be used with extreme caution, if at all, as post-operative eyewashes in canine cataract surgery.
    • Prompt diagnosis and surgical intervention (keratectomy, nictitans flaps) can effectively manage severe post-lentectomy corneal edema.
    • This case highlights the importance of detailed owner communication regarding post-operative medication and eyewash use.
