Investigation of fellow eye of unilateral retinal detachment in Shih-Tzu

Abstract

Retinal degeneration was frequently detected by funduscopy and electroretinograms in the fellow eye in Shih-Tzus with RRD. In our subjects, vitreous degeneration was also observed frequently. It has been reported that peripheral retinal degeneration is one of the causes of RRD associated with vitreous degeneration in humans. We assume that primary retinal degeneration with secondary vitreous degeneration is one of the causes of RRD in Shih-Tzus.
