[Treatment of orbital abscesses and phlegmon in dogs and cats].
A diagnosis of orbital cellulitis or abscess was made in 13 dogs and four cats over the past five years. A foreign body was found in three of these cases. In five cases pasteurella spp. was isolated. In 15 of these cases the abscess was drained surgically. One dog was permanently blind due to inadequate surgical drainage of the abscess. In the remaining cases healing was uneventful. The surgical and medical therapy of orbital abscesses is illustrated by an exemplary case.
