Fig. 2

a One of the treated dacryocystitis in the right eye of a 11-year-old, male, Shih-tzu at presentation (case 3). Two fistulas are present, one in the margin of the lower eyelid close to the medial cantus, and the second on the skin at the level of the frontal region, as indicated by *. A mucopurulent discharge is not evident because it was removed before taking the picture, in order to show the two fistulas. Note the keratitis due to keratoconjunctivitis sicca. b The plant-based foreign body removed from the nasolacrimal sac of the dog of Fig. 2a. c Ultrasonographic appearance of the plant-based foreign body of Fig. 2b in the sagittal scan (white arrow). It appears as spindle-shaped hyperechoic foreign body. d Ultrasonographic appearance of the plant-based foreign body of Fig. 2b in the cross-sectional scan (white arrow) in the lacrimal sac. The foreign body appears as a hyperechoic rounded cross-sectional structure, medial to the eye
