- Abstract
A retrospective study of corneo-conjunctival disorders was conducted on 71 dogs at several private pet clinics in Alexandria in Egypt between 2019 and 2022 to determine the incidence of corneo-conjunctival disorders among different breeds, ages, and sexes of dogs using descriptive statistical tools. The overall incidence of corneo-conjunctival disorders in dogs was (35.50%) of the total ocular disorders encountered with Golden retriever breed being the most affected. Most corneo-conjunctival affections were met with dogs less than 1 year of age with the cornea being the most affected anatomical location. Corneal Ulcer was the most frequently diagnosed clinical condition. It was also seen that males were affected more than females.
