A retrospective analysis of lipid-laden aqueous humor in dogs: Thirty cases

Abstract

Objective: To describe the clinical presentation and outcome of canine patients that present with lipid-laden aqueous humor (LLA) and to evaluate its association with other ocular and systemic disorders. Methods: Medical records were identified and reviewed of 30 dogs presenting with clinical signs of LLA between 2013 and 2017 and compared to the canine referral population during the same time period. The percentage of dogs affected by LLA and potential risk factors were compared between groups. Results: There were 40 eyes in 30 dogs with LLA out of 8011 (0.4%) referrals. The mean age of dogs with LLA was significantly younger than dogs without LLA (P =.0334). Sex was not associated with LLA. Miniature Schnauzers were more likely to have LLA than mixed breeds (P
