Ophthalmoscopic and ultrasonographic findings of collie eye anomaly in a female dog - case report

[Achados oftalmoscópicos e ultrassonográficos da anomalia do olho do Collie em uma cadela - relato de caso]

ABSTRACT

Collie Eye Anomaly (CEA) is a congenital genetic defect primarily found in Collie dogs but occasionally in other breeds. Its significance lies in its genetic implications for breeding in predisposed breeds. Diagnosing CEA can be challenging and relies on clinical history, epidemiological data, clinical and ophthalmological examinations, and ocular ultrasonography to assess the extent of damage and prognosis. This article presents a case of CEA in a 6-month-old Border Collie dog who exhibited reduced vision and acute hyphema. The condition was diagnosed through direct ophthalmoscopy and ocular ultrasonography
