Treatment methods for dog glaucoma

1. 20% mannitol, which increases blood osmotic pressure and reduces aqueous humor, 1 to 2 grams/ Kilogram body weight, 3 to 5 minutes to complete the injection, intravenous drip.

2. 50% glycerol can increase blood osmotic pressure and reduce aqueous humor, 1 to 2 g/kg, repeat once after 8 hours, push intravenously slowly or take it orally.

3. Dichlorosulfonamide, acetazolamide and methazolamide inhibit the production of aqueous humor and promote the excretion of aqueous humor. Dichlorosulfonamide 10-30 mg/kg, acetazolamide is 2 to 4 mg/kg, methazolamide is 2 to 4 mg/kg, 2 to 3 times a day, taken orally.

4. 1% to 2% pilocarpine nitrate solution can open the occluded angle of the eye, improve the circulation of aqueous humor, and reduce intraocular pressure. Apply eye drops 3 to 4 times a day.

5. Iris incarceration surgery to establish a new extraocular drainage route of aqueous humor.

6. 1% atropine sulfate to dilate pupils, 1 to 2 times a day, eye drops.

7. Erythromycin eye drops, anti-inflammatory, more than 20 times a day, external eye drops.

8. Erythromycin eye ointment, anti-inflammatory and corneal protection, 2 to 3 times a day, for eye use.

Causes of glaucoma in dogs

1. Primary: special breeds have a high incidence. Such as Cocker Spaniels, Beagles, etc.

2. Secondary: some ophthalmia, uveitis, lens detachment, bleeding, etc.

3. Lens detachment causes uveitis, which affects the drainage of intraocular fluid and increases intraocular pressure.
