Managing Indolent ulcers in Dogs and Cats

In this presentation I will discuss Indolent Ulcers. We will cover how to diagnose Indolent Ulcers, cover other causes of other conditions that can make ulcers slow healing. We will also cover when to grid, when to DBD – diamond burr debridement, when to use a BCL – bandage contact lens, when to refer for a superficial keratectomy.  I will discuss what equipment you will need to do a DBD.

I will also discuss the medications that we use in the management of Indolent Ulcers.  Serum is no longer recommended for Indolent Ulcers. 

In the past I have stated that all superficial ulcers in cats were FHV – Feline Herpes Virus, it is now recognised that true indolent ulcers do occur in cats. However, you should never grid a feline ulcer and this always causes a corneal sequestrum.
