Abstract :
The five cases of infectious canine hepatitis/blue eyes occurring in district Faisalabad, Pakistan between 2022 and 2024 in different breeds of dog population mainly (Golden labrador retriever, German shepherd and mixed breeds) were diagnosed on the basis of clinical examination and LFT’s report. History of inappropriate vaccination was the main predisposing factor leading towards blue eyes. All of these dogs were suffering mainly from unilateral or bilateral corneal opacity/corneal edema. LFT’s report in one of the infected golden labrador dog indicated that there were increased levels of liver enzymes mainly AST and ALT. Symptomatic treatment was initiated. Hepatoprotective agents were prescribed orally as well as topically homeopathic eye drops were initiated to treat corneal edema/corneal opacity. Overall, prognosis of the disease was found good. Dogs were recovered completely after 7-10 days of regular therapy.
