Canine Protothecosis; Ocular Findings, Diagnosis, Treatment and Outcome in 8 Dogs
Rectal and vitreal-subretinal cytology being the primary diagnostic methods. Prototheca spp. should be considered as a differential diagnosis in dogs with chronic diarrhea. Panuveitis and high cellular retinal detachment are characteristic. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first multicenter retrospective study in Europe focusing on the ophthalmic presentation of Prototheca spp. infection in dogs.
