Equine, ulcerative keratitis, treatment, platelet rich plasmaAbstract
The cornea is the first structure of the eye receiving light, being located at the outermost part of the ocular bulb. Due to its location is subject, more often, the harmful processes such as corneal ulcer, also called keratitis Ulcerative. It is the disease with higher incidence among ophthalmologic diseases in horses, and if no proper treatment, can lead to the animal vision loss. In this context, objective of the study was to report a case of keratitis Ulcerative equinus treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) associated with eye drops. A horse, male, 3 years old, Quarter Horses, sorrel coat was referred to veterinary care after suffering a stroke on a rafter. During the clinical examination revealed that the horse had chemosis, epiphora, blepharospasm and temporary loss of vision. Based on clinical signs and history clinical suspicion was keratitis Ulcerative. The treatment was Ocucan® instillation of eye drops,
Ciprovet® PRP and two drops each, twice a day, and washing with saline solution. The animal showed evolution significant treatment and was released 30 days to return the property and physical activity gradually. Thus, we conclude that the use of platelet rich plasma is an important tool and accessible in the treatment of ulcerative keratitis in horses, including demonstrating good results in healing characteristic and time thereof.
