Orbital fat prolapse in the dog.
Five dogs presented with varying degrees of subconjunctival swelling and enophthalmos. Biopsy revealed the subconjunctival tissue to be fat. Surgical excision in two cases resulted in resolution of the clinical signs and demonstrated that the fat came from the retrobulbar region.
