| Summary: | Canine keratoconjunctivitis sicca (QCSC) is a common eye disease in the dog characterized
by chronic inflammation of the lacrimal glands, cornea, and conjunctiva, leading to impaired
tear production and excessive mucous secretion. Its etiology is not specific, but the immunemediated
form is indicated as the most common. The Schirmer test helps us to measure tear
production by establishing a value in millimeters of 0 - 35 with the tear filling that our patient
is producing, from here we interpret that in one minute if there is a filling of 0 - 5 mm it is
a QCSC , 6 to 10 is a moderate QCSC, that of 10 - 15 mm is a suspected patient to suffer
from the disease and that of 15 - 25 mm onwards is a normal tear production (Flores, et al.
Hinostroza, et al. Grandez, et al. Canales & Serrano. 2013) (Cabrera, et al. Gaitán, et al.
Escobar. 2017), in this way; With the Schirmer test, 50 randomly chosen canine patients
were diagnosed from one year of age who entered the animal world veterinary clinic located
in Cali, of which their respective owners granted us authorization to perform the test during
the period of February to June 2021. |
