Abstract

The article "Managing equine ophthalmology diseases" by Rachel Allbaugh, DVM, MS, DACVO, discusses the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of common equine eye diseases such as squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and uveitis. Allbaugh emphasizes the need for veterinary professionals to recognize these diseases and outlines treatment options, including surgical excision and additional therapies for SCC, and aggressive anti-inflammatory therapy for uveitis. Monitoring and communication with clients are crucial for successful outcomes, and referrals to specialists may be necessary in challenging cases. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential for managing these prevalent diseases in horses. [Extracted from the article]
