“…STT should be performed early in the examination, before applying any liquid to the eye or manipulating the eye, before any other procedures and tests (Rosolen et al, 2009). In the presented study, tear test was applied as stated by the researcher.…”

“…STT 1 measures not only basal tear production, but also reflex tear production caused by stimulation of trigeminal nerve endings due to local irritations (Koç et al, 2005, Rosolen et al, 2009, Şındak et al, 2010. STT 2 is a more rare method and is used only to measure basal tear production by applying topical anesthesia to the eye and eliminating reflex tear production (Koç et al, 2005, Rosolen et al, 2009, Trbolova and Ghaffari, 2011. Normal STT-2 levels are half or a little more than STT-1 levels (Rosolen et al, 2009).…”

Coccidiosis, caused by Eimeria species is common in 2-4 month old goats, are highly pathogenic in goat kids. The most common clinical findings are dehydration, weakness, weight loss, diarrhea and anemia. The aim of this study is to determinate of tear secretion in goats kids with coccidiosis and healthy ones by utilizing STT. A total of 20 pure hair goats kids aged between 2-4 months, among which 10 were with clinical coccidiosis (Group 1, n=10) and 10 were in the healthy conditions (Group 2, n=10), in a single farm located at Siirt, Turkey. Fecal samples were examined microscopically for concentrated flotation and the presence of oocysts. STT test was performed on both eyes of healthy and clinical coccidiosis and results were recorded. Group 1 Mean ± SD STT values for right and left eye were 5.8 ± 1.75 and 5.1 ± 1.66 mm/min and Group 2 Mean ± SD STT values for right and left eye were 13.4 ± 2.37 and 12.5 ± 2.12 mm/min, respectively. Comparison of STT values of the right eyes with left eyes did not differ significantly in both groups (P = 0.271, P = 0.235). Both eye's STT results combined to compare groups. The mean of Group 1 (5.45 ± 1.7 mm/min) was found to be significantly lower than the mean of Group 2 (12.95 ± 2.24 mm/min) as a result (P < 0.001). As a result of this study, the amount of tear secretion was determined with the STT and there was statistically significant difference between healthy and goat kids clinical coccidiosis.

ObjectivesKeratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS) is characterized by decreased aqueous tear film components, leading to ocular surface damage. Diagnosis involves clinical examination, Schirmer Tear Test (STT1), and Tear Film Break‐Up Time (TFBUT) measurement. This retrospective study aimed to assess dry eye syndrome in intact, purebred, Aksaray Malakli breed dogs, and investigate potential associations with hereditary ocular diseases due to inbreeding for phenotype preservation.AnimalsFifty healthy, purebred, intact Aksaray Malakli dogs of varying ages and sexes, all exhibiting conjunctival hyperemia and mucoid ocular discharge. Dogs with chronic diseases, systemic medication, or ongoing ophthalmic treatment were excluded.ProceduresDemographic data, ophthalmic examination results, and ocular anomalies were recorded. STT1 and TFBUT assessments were performed to measure tear production and film stability. STT1 values were scored from 1 (normal) to 4 (severe dry eye), and TFBUT ≥20 s was considered normal. Statistical analyses were used to evaluate correlations and differences.ResultsThe correlation between age and STT1 values (r = −.182, p = .206) was not statistically significant. Mean STT1 was higher in females than males, though not significantly (p = .849). Dogs without third eyelid gland prolapse had significantly higher STT1 and TFBUT measurements compared to those with prolapse (p = .027). No significant sex difference was found in the frequency of third eyelid prolapse (p = .289). A significant positive correlation was observed between STT1 and TFBUT (r = .924; p < .001).ConclusionsAksaray Malakli dogs, particularly those with third eyelid gland prolapse, are predisposed to mild to moderate KCS. These findings suggest the need for further clinical and genetic investigations to better understand and manage dry eye syndrome in this breed.
