Resumo
CCS is a common disease in dogs and is characterized by aqueous tear deficiency, resulting in dryness and inflammation of the conjunctiva and cornea and ocular pain, as well as progressive corneal disease and reduced vision. CCS is also known as lacrimal system dysfunction syndrome or dry eye disease, according to various consensus, is a multifactor disease of the ocular surface that results in signs of discomfort, decreased visual acuity and tear film instability with damage potential to the ocular surface. This study aimed to carry out a bibliographic study about CCS in dogs of the last ten years, so that the scientific advances for this disease can be known, with possibilities to improve the treatment and possible cure, due to the possible increase of the occurrence of cases in the present. A descriptive, qualitative and basic research was carried out based on the analysis of texts produced in Brazil on the problematic: What is the state of the art about dry keratoconjunctivitis in dogs in Brazil? The methodology used was a bibliographical review based on the careful search of scientific articles available on the Internet and containing complete texts and free access. The electronic databases analyzed were:Scielo, CAPES and Google Scholar. We selected 11 articles that were analyzed and categorized for analysis. Of these, 3 are reviews of literature on CCS; two laboratory studies, one on the microbiota and one on the histological; an epidemiological study and four studies related to the treatment of CCS, of these, three researches with drug therapy and one with surgical therapy. The results show little recent research on the subject, however, an evolution in the treatment by pharmacological therapy is noticed, being the authors unanimous to indicate the surgical treatment as an option only in the non-responsive cases with medication.
