title: [Primary glaucoma in two German hunting terriers and a wire-haired fox terrier].
abstract: Primary glaucoma was diagnosed in a five- and a six-year-old female German Hunting Terrier and a four-year-old female Wirehaired Foxterrier. The five-year-old Hunting Terrier had an absolute glaucoma in the right eye. The left eye showed a dysplastic pectinate ligament (DLP) and a narrow iridocorneal angle. The right eye was enucleated and the fellow eye fell sick five months later. Inspite of cyclocryotherapy glaucoma cannot be controlled without medication until now. In the six-year-old Hunting Terrier the iridocorneal angle could not be evaluated, because the right eye had an acute glaucoma and the left eye a chronic glaucoma with seclusio pupillae. A cyclocryotherapy was done on both eyes. Now the left eye is blind and vision is reduced in the right eye. Intraocular pressure values are within the normal range. The four-year-old Foxterrier had a chronic glaucoma in the right eye, because of DLP and a narrow iridocorneal angle. In the left eye the angle was narrow too, but rudimentary white trabecula with flow holes existed. This eye did not fall sick until now. In the right eye lowering of pressure could be obtained by medication only.
