Plain-English summary
Horner's syndrome is a condition that can affect both dogs and cats, and it was observed in four cases—two dogs and two cats. In three of these cases, the pets showed signs like a smaller pupil in one eye, drooping of the eyelid, and the eye appearing sunken in its socket. In one of the cat cases, there was also a noticeable change in the skin on the same side of the face, which appeared more dilated. This information can help veterinarians diagnose the underlying causes of Horner's syndrome in pets.
Abstract
Four cases of Horner's syndrome, two in dogs and two in cats, are described. Miosis, ptosis, and enophthalmos were present in three of the cases and in addition, protrusion of the nictitating membrane was present in the fourth case. In the two cases described in cats, there was also evidence of peripheral vasodilation in the skin of the face on the same side as the Horner's syndrome.
