Ocular foreign bodies in dogs and cats refer to any external object present on the surface of the eye or inside the eyeball. Identifying potential foreign bodies in the eye is a veterinary emergency, as prompt detection and treatment can prevent serious complications like eye infections, deep corneal ulcers, or even rupture of the eyeball. If you suspect your pet has an ocular foreign body, it’s crucial to seek veterinary care as soon as possible.
