Data recorded included signalment, duration of clinical signs and treatment details prior to presentation, concurrent ocular\/systemic diseases, ocular clinical signs, cytology, treatment, follow\u2010up, and outcome. Blepharospasm, signs of self\u2010trauma, hyperemia, chemosis, ocular discharge, and follicle location and severity (0.5\u20134) were retrospectively evaluated. Based on severity, treatment consisted of topical 0.1% diclofenac or 0.1% dexamethasone sodium eyedrops. Dogs were classified into young (YD\u2009&lt;\u200918\u2009months) and adult (AD\u2009\u2265\u200918\u2009months).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>One hundred and fifty\u2010three dogs (276 eyes) were included in the study: 83YD (54%) and 70AD (46%). Males and bilateral disease were over\u2010represented in both groups. Severity was associated with young age (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.032) and bilaterality (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.025), and not with dermatological diseases (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009&gt;\u2009.05). No differences in follicular location were observed except for more frequent involvement of the nictitating membrane (MN) in YD (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.02). Response to treatment was faster in AD (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.001), with complete resolution in 80.6% of the eyes (100\/124) at 1\u2009month. YD treated with diclofenac showed faster resolution than those treated with 0.1% dexamethasone (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u2009.009).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Although CFC is a bilateral ocular disease occurring at any age, the clinical presentation is influenced by age. Follicular conjunctivitis in adult dogs is less sever, less commonly affects the NM, and responds more quickly to topical treatment. One month of topical diclofenac may be adequate for mild cases, and 1\u2009month of topical 0.1% dexamethasone is recommended as initial therapy for moderate to severely affected cases.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vop.13155","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,10,18]],"date-time":"2023-10-18T10:48:28Z","timestamp":1697626108000},"page":"310-317","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Follicular
