To compare cataract characteristics and complications related to cataracts and phacoemulsification in the Siberian Husky (Huskies) versus other canine breeds (non-Huskies).
A total of 50 Huskies (92 eyes) and 96 non-Huskies (182 eyes) were evaluated.
Medical records of Huskies (at four university veterinary hospitals, 2008-2018) and non-Huskies (Colorado State University, 2017-2018) diagnosed with cataracts were reviewed. Age of dog, cataract stage at presentation, and pre- and post-operative complications were recorded and analyzed.
Mean (±standard deviation) age at presentation was significantly lower in Huskies (3.5 ± 3.3 years) compared to non-Huskies (9.5 ± 2.9 years) (p < .0001). Huskies more commonly presented with hereditary cataracts than non-Huskies (84% versus 52%) and a significantly higher percentage of non-Huskies presented with diabetic cataracts than Huskies (48% versus 16%; p = .0001). Cataract stage at presentation did not differ between Huskies and non-Huskies. Phacoemulsification was performed in 40% (20 out of 50 dogs, 39 out of 92 eyes) of Huskies and 42% (40 out of 96 dogs, 74 out of 182 eyes) of non-Huskies. Pre-operative and post-operative retinal detachment were more common in Huskies than non-Huskies (13% versus 2% and 10% versus 1%, respectively) but the difference was not significant. Other post-operative complications occurred with similar frequency in both groups (p ≥ .17).
Huskies evaluated for cataracts were younger and less likely to present with diabetic cataracts than other canine breeds and, although not statistically significant, had a clinically important increased risk of retinal detachment pre- and post-phacoemulsification.
比较西伯利亚雪橇犬（哈士奇）与其他犬种（非哈士奇）的白内障特征和白内障超声乳化术后并发症。
共评估了 50 只哈士奇（92 只眼）和 96 只非哈士奇（科罗拉多州立大学，2017-2018 年）。
回顾了在四所大学兽医医院（2008-2018 年）和科罗拉多州立大学（2017-2018 年）诊断为白内障的哈士奇和非哈士奇的病历。记录并分析了犬的年龄、就诊时白内障分期、术前和术后并发症。
与非哈士奇（9.5±2.9 岁）相比，哈士奇就诊时的平均（±标准差）年龄明显更低（3.5±3.3 岁）（p<0.0001）。与非哈士奇相比，哈士奇更常患有遗传性白内障（84%比 52%），而非哈士奇更常患有糖尿病性白内障（48%比 16%；p=0.0001）。哈士奇和非哈士奇就诊时白内障分期无差异。在 40%（50 只犬中的 20 只，92 只眼中的 39 只）的哈士奇和 42%（96 只犬中的 40 只，182 只眼中的 74 只）的非哈士奇中进行了白内障超声乳化术。术前和术后视网膜脱离在哈士奇中比非哈士奇更常见（分别为 13%比 2%和 10%比 1%），但差异无统计学意义。两组的其他术后并发症发生频率相似（p≥0.17）。
与其他犬种相比，接受白内障评估的哈士奇年龄更小，且更不可能患有糖尿病性白内障，但在白内障超声乳化术前和术后，视网膜脱离的风险有临床意义的增加，尽管无统计学意义。
