The novel use of a sub‐palpebral lavage line as an indwelling stent to manage unilateral nasolacrimal duct obstruction in a cat
To the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of using an SPL as an indwelling catheter for nasolacrimal duct surgery via conjunctivorhinostomy in a cat. This technique eliminated external stent sites for the patient, which was associated with a short use of an e-collar, and utilized materials readily available in a specialty hospital.
