RenoVō® CASE STUDY: Bilateral Corneal Ulcers

August 11, 2020: A horse presented to The Equine Performance Center, Ocala, FL, with bilateral corneal ulcers. Following eye examination, sub-palpebral lavage was placed in both eyes and IV catheter was placed. The horse received aggressive medical therapy including NSAIDs, topical antifungals, antibiotics, and atropine. After two days of treatment, the horse was more comfortable and started to hold her eyes opened. After 10 days of treatment, the ulcers were smaller but had not healed.

 

August 27, 2020: The attending veterinarian, Phillip D. Hammock, DVM, MS, Diplomate ACVS, MRCVS, implanted 0.5 cc RenoVō® subconjunctively in both eyes and followed with 0.25 cc RenoVō® administered topically via SPL four times per day for the following 48 hours, at his discretion.

 

 

September 11, 2020: 15 days following the RenoVō® administration both eyes improved considerably. Although slight corneal opacity remained, the horse was no longer in pain and the ulcers in both eyes were almost completely healed.

 

 

September 28, 2020: Four weeks following the RenoVō® administration, the bilateral corneal ulcers were healed with only a small corneal scar remaining that does not interfere with vision.
