Abstract

Sera from 50 dogs with keratoconjunctivitis sicca were examined for rheumatoid factor. In 17 (34%) of dogs tested, rheumatoid factor was found at titers equal to or greater than 1:16. Fifteen dogs (30%) had probable concurrent immunologic disorders. Ten dogs (20%) had xerostomia, as indicated by dry oral mucosa, marked periodontitis, and loss of teeth.
