Disease Description: An immunologic eye disease characterized by abnormal growth of tissue over the cornea.
Inherit Mode: -
Disease Symptom: The mode of inheritance is unknown.
Disease Cause: -
Disease Diagnose: If untreated, the blood vessels and inflammatory cells will spread over your dog's normally transparent cornea, gradually darkening and scarring it, and causing visual impairment. This can occur slowly over months or years, or it can occur rapidly to involve the whole cornea within a few months. The condition does not appear to be painful. Lifelong treatment is required to control this disorder (see below). Usually pannus can be well-controlled, although it is harder to control in dogs living at high altitudes (above 1500 metres). Sometimes lesions will worsen in periods of environmental irritation or increased ultraviolet exposure, or if medication is given irregularly.
Treat Method: Diagnosis is made based on the signalment (breed and history) and the typical changes in your dog's cornea.
Breeder Advice: You will see bilateral lesions consisting of vascularization, pigmentation, or a combination - usually starting in the temporal or inferiotemporal quadrant and progressing centrally. Atypical pannusmay affect the nictitating membrane without affecting the cornea. The leading edge of the nictitans is depigmented and the palpebral surface is red and thickened. Treatment is similar to that for typical CSK.
