Summary

Uveal cysts in dogs, often seen in Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and Boston Terriers, can affect the iris or ciliary body. This study analyzed 28 canine cases, noting breed-specific age of onset for these ocular conditions.

Background:

Uveal cysts are a recognized ocular condition in dogs.
These cysts can originate from the ciliary body or iris, or be free-floating in the anterior chamber.

Purpose of the Study:

To retrospectively analyze the occurrence and characteristics of uveal cysts in a canine population.
To identify any breed predispositions and age of onset for uveal cyst development.

Main Methods:

A 3-year retrospective study was conducted.
Data from 28 dogs diagnosed with uveal cysts were analyzed.
Breed, age, sex, and cyst location were recorded.

Main Results:

Twenty-eight dogs were diagnosed with uveal cysts.
Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and Boston Terriers were the most frequently represented breeds.
Mean ages of cyst development were 7.0 years (Golden Retrievers), 9.1 years (Labrador Retrievers), and 6.8 years (Boston Terriers).
No sex predilection was observed.
Associated ocular lesions were rare, with one Boston Terrier experiencing visual impairment.

Conclusions:

Uveal cysts occur in various canine breeds, with a notable representation in Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, and Boston Terriers.
Breed-specific age ranges for cyst development were identified.
Uveal cysts in dogs typically do not present with other significant ocular abnormalities.
