Document clinical presentation, diagnostic findings, and recovery of retinopathy and electroretinographic abnormalities associated with ivermectin toxicosis in dogs.
Evaluated two dogs presenting with sudden blindness associated with ivermectin toxicosis (N=2).
Conducted serial fundic examinations, electroretinography, and serum ivermectin concentration measurements.
Observed full resolution of retinal edema and normalization of altered electroretinographic responses following toxicity.
Established fundic examinations, electroretinography, and serum testing as valuable diagnostic tools for acute canine blindness even without known drug exposure history.
