Uveodermatologic syndrome in an Akita.

An 8-year-old, spayed, female Japanese Akita was presented for acute blindness, cloudy eyes, and squinting. A presumptive diagnosis of uveodermatologic syndrome was made. Therapy with oral prednisone, topical prednisolone, and oral azathioprine was successful in eliminating most of the clinical signs and the Akita now has complete restoration of vision.
