Description
Keratoconjunctivitis sicca – dry eye – is a common problem in the canine pet population but one often commonly missed. Recently a severe bilateral form has been documented predominantly but not entirely in dogs fed Years dog food. This condition, seen in around 200 dogs of 60,000 fed the diet has shown how long it often takes for vets to recognise that a dog with conjunctivitis and ocular discharge actually has KCS. Here we will hope to optimise your diagnosis of this condition and talk about treatment options.
