Beyond the Clinic – a podcast by and for vet professionals
Expert ophthalmologist David Nutbrown-Hughes joins host Daniella Dos Santos to share insights on managing corneal ulcers. He starts by highlighting the importance of understanding the interconnected roles of the eyelid, tear film, and cornea. David considers the treatment approach for a simple ulcer and the options for more complex cases such as SCEDs and the dreaded melting ulcer.
This episode is a must-listen for veterinary professionals looking to deepen their understanding of corneal ulcers and their management in canine patients.
