There is limited literature on owner's attitudes towards enucleation and behavioural changes after enucleation in dogs. The aim of this study is to investigate the owner's perception of canine enucleation as well as gain insight into the behavioural changes of dogs before and after enucleation due to glaucoma.
This retrospective study involved a questionnaire sent to the owners whose dogs were diagnosed with glaucoma and underwent enucleation at the Queen Mother Hospital for Animals between June 2015 and January 2018. Owners were asked about their attitude towards enucleation, and to assess factors that affect their dogs' behaviours (appetite, general activity, playfulness and lethargy) at three time points: before enucleation, immediately after and 2 months after (TMA) enucleation.
Twenty-six of 45 questionnaires were completed and returned by the owners. TMA enucleation showed the most strongly positive responses indicating that owners perceived an improvement in the behaviours of their pets. 96% of participants were happy with their decision to go ahead with the surgery; and no participants regretted opting for enucleation.
The present study found expression of "normal" behaviour to increase after enucleation.
关于犬只主人对眼球摘除术的态度以及术后行为变化的相关文献有限。本研究旨在调查主人对犬只眼球摘除术的看法，并深入了解因青光眼而接受眼球摘除术前后犬只的行为变化。
本回顾性研究涉及 2015 年 6 月至 2018 年 1 月期间在英国女王母亲动物医院接受青光眼眼球摘除术的犬只主人的问卷调查。主人被问及他们对眼球摘除术的态度，并评估了三个时间点（术前、术后即刻和术后 2 个月（TMA））影响犬只行为（食欲、一般活动、嬉戏和嗜睡）的因素。
26 份共 45 份问卷由主人完成并返回。TMA 眼球摘除术后的反应最强烈，表明主人认为宠物的行为有所改善。96%的参与者对接受手术的决定感到满意；没有参与者后悔选择眼球摘除术。
本研究发现眼球摘除术后“正常”行为表达增加。
