Summary: This study retrospectively evaluated the clinical course and outcome of canine spontaneous chronic corneal epithelial defects (SCCEDs) treated with cotton-tip epithelial debridement (ED) and corneal thermal cautery (CTC), with or without diamond burr debridement (DBD). The results showed that CTC is a safe and effective treatment for SCCEDs in dogs and can be performed without general anesthesia. DBD does not provide significant value to CTC in the treatment of SCCEDs.

Summary: This study describes the clinical and endoscopic findings associated with complicated corneal ulcers in cats, as well as evaluates the short-term outcomes after surgical interventions. The most common etiologic factor of corneal ulcers was found to be FHV-1, with domestic shorthaired and Persian cats being the most predisposed breeds to infection. Management of patients with corneal ulcers is crucial in preventing serious complications, with no observed age or sex predisposition in cats.
