A 6-year-old pug  had a right corneal ulcer oozing aqueous around On March 24, 2011,  I did a 3rd eyelid flap and tarsorrhaphy surgery to cover up the deep corneal ulcer.  This  video shows the successful outcome of the treatment - a brown  corneal scar in the centre of the cornea.

Today, the pug came in for nasal fold folliculitis (pimples) on both nasal folds.  Dr Daniel handles this case to discuss whether the cause of the folds is due to demodex mite infestation.  In my opinion, it is a deep bacterial infection of the hair follicles.

Pugs are prone to this medical condition. A pug in excellent condition and much loved. The right backside hair loss is due to a skin infection for the past 4 weeks and can be treated. 

This is a rare case of a follow up on the outcome of a  3rd eyelid flap and tarsorrhaphy done 5 years ago by me as most owners do not come back.  The owner had been referred to an "eye specialist" vet in another practice, but that vet was on leave. The owner had agreed to let me treat the deep corneal ulcer. This case was recorded in www.toapayohvets.com, goto dogs, goto eye problems.
