Subconjunctival haemorrhage in 147 dogs
Abstract
OBJECTIVES
To identify differential diagnoses for subconjunctival haemorrhage in dogs.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Retrospective case series.
RESULTS
Of 147 dogs with subconjunctival haemorrhage, 119 had a history of trauma. The most common types of injury were vehicular trauma (47/119) and dog attacks (32/119). Confirmed or suspected non-accidental injury was reported for 5/119. Of the 28 dogs without a history of trauma, 13 had a bleeding disorder and of these, immune-mediated thrombocytopenia was the most common diagnosis (9/13). Other causes included seizure disorders (4/28), vasculitis (3/28) and ocular or periocular disease (3/28).
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Subconjunctival haemorrhage in dogs can be secondary to a wide range of injuries and systemic diseases, bleeding diathesis or ocular disease.
