ENUCLEATION OF BULBUS OCULI PROLAPSUS IN TERRIER MIX

Abstract

An 8-year-old female Chihuahua mix terrier breed with a body weight of 3.3 kg was brought to the Teaching Animal Hospital, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, Udayana University. The dog was brought in with a complaint of the right eye coming out of the eye socket after fighting with a large breed dog. The purpose of this article is to find out the process of lifting the eyeball using the trans-conjunctival enucleation method. The results of the physical examination showed damage and no response to the case dog's right eye. Based on history and physical examination, the dog was diagnosed with bulbus oculi prolapse. Premedication was carried out by administering 0.3 ml of atropine sulfate and induced anesthesia with 0.2 ml and 0.3 ml of xylazine and ketamine respectively. The postoperative care given was e-collar fitting, giving cefadroxil monohydrate 22mg/kgBB q12h for 5 days, giving anti-inflammatory tolfenamic acid injection 0.3 mg/kgBW and continued with giving meloxicam 1 mg/kgBBq12h for 5 days, and ointment. Bioplacenton® skin is given sufficiently until the wound dries. On the seventh day after surgery, the case dog was declared cured with the surgical wound closed on the right eye after routine postoperative care.
