Resumen
El presente proyecto de investigación fue realizado al Norte de Guayaquil, en el Consultorio Veterinario “El Fortín”, con el objetivo de confirmar el uso de plasma rico en plaquetas (PRP) como tratamiento para úlceras corneales superficiales (UCS) en los pacientes caninos; para evaluar el proceso cicatrizal se analizaron las variables edad, sexo y raza, en un tiempo máximo de 5 semanas de tratamiento. El diagnóstico de la queratopatía fue confirmado mediante la prueba de fluoresceína. Se evidenciaron 25 casos positivos a UCS en un lapso de 90 días; para obtener información de la queratopatía y saber que el tratamiento progresaba adecuadamente, se tomaron medidas con ayuda de un calibrador en lapsos de una semana, desde la semana inicial hasta la semana 5. En el presente estudio se encontró evidencia que no existe relación estadísticamente significativa del proceso cicatrizal, frente las variables antes mencionadas; lo cual concluye en que el PRP es un tratamiento biológico eficaz, con resultados similares a los tratamientos con antibióticos reportados por diversos autores.

The diagnosis of keratopathy was confirmed by the fluorescein test. There were 25 positive cases to UCS in a period of 90 days; to obtain information about the keratopathy and to know that the treatment was progressing properly, measurements were taken with the help of a calibrator within one week, from the first week to week 5. In the present study we found evidence that there is no statistically significant relationship of the scarring process, against the aforementioned variables; which concludes that the PRP is an effective biological treatment, with similar results to the antibiotic treatments reported by different authors
