Electroretinographic evaluation of photoreceptor cells in Turkish shepherd dogs [Türk çoban köpeklerinde retina fotoreseptör hücrelerinin elektroretinografik olarak deǧerlendirilmesi]

In this study,the electroretinography (erg) results which are obtained from a total of 40 eyes in 20 turkish shepherd dogs (tsds) which meet the standards of iscev were evaluated. accordingly,amplitute of the a-wave 1.298±0.208 microvolt,amplitute of the b-wave 7.670±0.846 microvolt,implicit time of the a-wave 70.268±11.840 milisecond,implicit time of the b-wave 97.072±12.696 milisecond were determined. there is no clinical,funduscopic or erg evidence of a genetic retina disorder in tsds. the funduscopic and erg datas which obtained from 10 patient in different breed which have single-or double sidedblindness revealed that the results of our study can be used as a reference value in further studies about retina in tsds.
