Injectable homologous platelet-rich plasma, alone or in combination with oral omega-3 supplementation, for treating keratoconjunctivitis sicca in dogs
Injectable HPRP, particularly when combined with oral ω-3 supplementation, is an effective therapeutic modality for managing KCS in dogs. The combination therapy enhanced tear film stability, reduced ocular inflammation, and promoted epithelial repair more effectively than HPRP alone. These findings support the synergistic effect of ω-3 fatty acids with PRP in ocular surface restoration.
