20.1 Bilateral corneal oedema in a 12-week-old puppy that developed 3 weeks after live CAV-2 vaccination. The condition resolved following a 2-week course of topical corticosteroids.

20.2 Dendritic corneal ulceration associated with FHV-1 infection.

20.3 Anterior uveitis in a cat with FIP. Clinical signs include mucoid ocular discharge, miosis, iris thickening, diffuse corneal oedema and ‘mutton fat’ endothelial precipitates (also known as keratic precipitates). (Courtesy of G McLellan)
Image of 20.4
20.4 Active chorioretinitis in a cat with FIP. The condition was bilateral. The retinal venules are mildly thickened and tortuous, and multiple hyporeflective inflammatory foci are evident within the retina.
Image of 20.5
20.5 Fundus of a cat with FIP. The condition was bilateral. The retinal venules are markedly thickened and tortuous with segmentation or ‘box-carring’ due to serum hyperviscosity (thin arrows). The inferior retinal blood vessels appear out of focus owing to retinal detachment (thick arrows). A large white perivascular effusion is visible overlying a retinal venule (arrowhead). Areas of subretinal effusion are visible adjacent to the optic nerve head (*).

20.6 Lymphoma infiltration of the iris and anterior chamber in an FeLV-positive cat. Note the marked pupil asymmetry.
Image of 20.7
20.7 Presumed lymphoma infiltration of the fundus in a cat diagnosed with ocular and CNS lymphoma.
Image of 20.8
20.8 infection in a cat, which involves the cornea and anterior chamber of both eyes.
Image of 20.9
20.9 Cryptococcosis in a cat. Bilateral fundus changes, consisting of multiple subretinal pyogranulomatous infiltrates and partial retinal detachment, are present.

20.10 Extensive subconjunctival haemorrhage in a Staffordshire Bull Terrier with infestation.
Image of 20.11
20.11 larva (arrowed) within the anterior chamber of a Cocker Spaniel presenting with severe anterior uveitis. A goniolens has been placed on the cornea to allow visualization of the iridocorneal drainage angle, from which the parasite is seen emerging. The iris (*) and pupil (arrowhead) are shown for orientation.

20.13 Papilloedema, neovascularization of the optic nerve head and blood vessel tortuosity in a cat affected with thiamine deficiency. (Courtesy of S Crispin)

20.14 Punctate hypocalcaemic cataract in a hypoparathyroid dog.
Image of 20.15
20.15 Hyperviscosity syndrome in a dog with polycythaemia. Note the pronounced thickening, tortuosity and darkening of the retinal blood vessels. (Courtesy of S Crispin)

20.16 Hyperlipidaemia in association with cataract and lens-induced uveitis in a mixed-breed dog. In the left eye, lipid within the aqueous humour has settled in the inferior anterior chamber. (Courtesy of G McLellan)
Image of 20.17
20.17 Hypertensive chorioretinopathy in a cat. Note the multiple bullous retinal detachments and mild tortuosity of the superficial arterioles.
Image of 20.18
20.18 Left eye and right eye of a dog showing lymphoma infiltrating the iris and anterior chamber with secondary uveitis and hyphaema.
Image of 20.19
20.19 UVD in a 2-year-old Akita. Depigmentation and erosive lesions of the planum nasale and eyelid margins are evident, along with bilateral retinal detachment.
