Abstract

AbstractCanine periocular dermatitis may be associated with excessive facial folds and heavy brows (EFF‐HB). There is no gold standard therapy for EFF‐HB‐associated periocular dermatitis, and conventional medical management may fail. Herein, we describe periocular fluorescence photobiomodulation and rhytidectomy as novel approaches to treat EFF‐HB‐associated periocular dermatitis refractory to medical management.
