UC Davis

Twenty-one dogs with ocular disease and blastomycosis were studied clinically. The most common ocular lesion was uveitis. Other findings included retinal separation, panophthalmitis, and glaucoma. The results of the study indicated that when uveitis is found in dogs in central United States, east of the Mississippi River, blastomycosis should be a diagnostic consideration. When the uveitis was associated with lung, lymph node, skin, bone, or testicular lesions, the likelihood of blastomycosis was greater.
