Description
Summary:A 3-year-old, male mixed breed dog with botulism and bilateral descemetocele was submitted to lamellar keratoplasty with equine renal capsule preserved in glycerin in the right eye and conjunctival pedicle graft in the left eye. The evolution was satisfactory in both eyes, but better in the eye receiving the equine renal capsule, because the corneal transparence was more evident in that eye. On the other hand, the surgical period was more quickly in the eye receiving the equine renal capsule because the preparation of the conjunctival pedicle before the keratoplasty was not necessary. Um animal da espécie canina, macho, de 3 anos de idade, com botulismo e descemetocele bilateral foi submetido à ceratoplastia lamelar com cápsula renal eqüina preservada em glicerina no olho direito, e enxerto conjuntival pediculado no olho esquerdo. Ambos os olhos mostraram evolução satisfatória porém, o olho receptor da cápsula renal eqüina apresentou transparência corneana mais evidente.
