Flap conjuntival pediculado como tratamento cirúrgico de descemetocele bilateral em um cão da raça Shih Tzu – relato de caso

Corneal ulcer is considered an emergency, which can lead to loss of vision if left untreated. Among the surgical techniques of choice, the pedicled conjunctival flap is a procedure that provides mechanical and vascular supply of the conjunctiva to the corneal lesion. The aim of this study is to report a case of bilateral descemetocele in a nine-month-old female dog, Shih Tzu, treated at São Lucas Veterinary Hospital of Ji-Paraná. Initially, the treatment was systemic and topical drug therapy, after 72 hours, surgery was performed in both eyes and temporary tarsorrhaphy only in the right eye, later following the entire healing process.
