Plain-English summary
A 10-year-old German shepherd was brought to the vet because of swelling and bleeding in one eye, which are signs of uveitis. Despite treatment attempts, the condition did not improve, and the vet decided to remove the eye (enucleation) for the dog's health. After examining the removed eye, the vet found that the dog had intraocular osteosarcoma, a type of bone cancer that developed inside the eye. Unfortunately, the treatment was not successful in saving the eye, but the diagnosis helped guide further care for the dog.
