Abstract
A 2-year-old Jack Russell Terrier was presented for treatment of a worsening corneal ulcer and keratomalacia following removal of a vegetative foreign body. The keratomalacia responded to topical gentamicin therapy; however, the eye became suddenly painful and at examination two areas of increased opacity had developed. Fungal keratitis was demonstrated by corneal scrape showing branching, septate fungal hyphae. Treatment with 1% voriconazole was effective in resolving the keratomycosis.
