Plain-English summary
A 5-year-old female miniature poodle was brought to the vet for ongoing eye issues, along with changes in her facial fur color and hair loss on her body. She had been experiencing inflammation in her eyes (uveitis) for five months before the skin problems appeared. The dog was diagnosed with uveodermatologic syndrome (a condition affecting the skin and eyes) along with dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca). While treatment with immunosuppressive medications cleared up her skin issues, her eye inflammation continued to worsen.

Abstract
A 5-year-old, intact female miniature poodle dog was presented with chronic ophthalmic problems, facial poliosis, nasal depigmentation and multiple areas of alopecia over the trunk. Bilateral uveitis preceded dermatologic signs by 5 months and gradually worsened. The dog was diagnosed as having uveodermatologic syndrome (UDS) concurrent with keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS). Treatment with immunosuppressive drugs resolved the dermatologic lesions, but uveitis continued to progress.
