Eye affections are frequent in dogs. Among them, ulcerative keratitis is the most frequent and can be of traumatic origin or not. This condition destroys the corneal epithelium or stroma, often causing aesthetic damage associated with visual impairments to the animals. Clinical treatmentis a meaningful way to avoid surgery, in which the patient needs to undergo an anesthetic procedure and a delicate postoperative period. However, corneal ulcers often do not respond to conventional treatment or have a delay in the healing process, developing discomfort to the patient and demanding daily care from owners. Homeopathic treatments have been successful in several acute and chronic diseases, and excellent results are reported. This study aimed to report the treatment of traumatic keratitis in a female dog using homeopathic medicines.
