ABSTRACT
Gharib FZ, Aldavood SJ,
Selk Ghaffari M, Mashhady Rafie S, Akbarein H., Effects of oral Propranolol
and Atenolol on intraocular pressure in clinically normal dogs, Onl J Vet Res., 25(4):301-305, 2021. Glaucoma is associated with
abnormal increase in intraocular pressure and treatment aims to maintain normal
pressure. Groups of 5 clinically normal 15.5 to 25 kg 1 to 3 year old dogs with
no ocular disease determined by Schirmer tear test
(STT), applanation tonometry, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, indirect ophthalmoscopy, physical
examination and complete blood counts (CBC) were given 1mg/kg oral propranolol or
1mg/kg atenolol daily for 14 days. Introcular
pressure was measured by applanation tonometry at
10AM before and on days 1, 3, 5, 7 and 14. We found no significant changes between
treatments. Oral Β-adrenergic blocking agents such as propranolol or atenolol appear
not to affect ocular pressure of clinically normal dogs over 14 days.
Key words; propranolol , atenolol , intraocular pressure,
IOP, dogs.
