Abstract
A Nigerian local bitch was presented to the Small Animal Clinic of the Veterinary Teaching Hospital of the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria with unilateral proptosis traumatic in origin. Detailed examination of the proptosed eye revealed a permanent damage to the eyeball. Under general anaesthesia, the condition was managed by enucleation and tarsorraphy. Subconjunctival technique was done in order to preserve as much soft tissue as possible to minimize subsequent orbital depression. No postoperative complications were observed as healing was uneventful.
