Abstract :The objective of this study was to demonstrate the specific blood velocity parameters called peak systolic velocity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(PSV);, end diastolic velocity insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EDV); and the resistive index insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RI); in the internal ophthalmic artery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(IOA); and the long posterior ciliary artery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LPCA); with color Doppler imaging insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CDI); in clinically normal dogs. Eight healthy dogs were used in the study. Color Doppler ultrasonography was performed on both eyes. PSV, EDV and RI measurements were obtained for both eyes. The mean RI of the IOA was 0.57 ± 0.095 cm/s and that of the LPCA was 0.58 ± 0.083 cm/s. The RI values did not differ significantly between the right and left eyes. As a result, since CDI is a reliable and easily applicable method for detecting eye vessel blood velocity parameters, such as the IOA and LPCA, it can be recommended for investigating ophthalmic vessel disorders in dogs.
