          Abstract

          RESUMEN El objetivo del presente trabajo fue describir las afecciones oftálmicas diagnosticadas en la clínica veterinaria principal de La Habana, Cuba, entre 2007 a 2020 en el hámster dorado (Mesocricetus auratus), curieles o cuyes (Cavia porcellus), conejos (Oryctolagus cuniculus), y tortugas acuáticas (jicoteas, Trachemys decussata). La muestra quedó integrada por 528 animales (174 hámsteres dorados, 116 curieles, 72 conejos y 166 jicoteas) de variada edad y sexo. Los hámsteres fueron los más atendidos (33%,) seguidos por las jicoteas (31%), en tanto que 55% de estos animales fue hembra. El prolapso ocular fue más frecuente en los hámsteres (62/174), los curieles mostraron mayor frecuencia de blefaritis (62/116), en los conejos predominó la conjuntivitis (38/72) y en las jicoteas la blefaroconjuntivitis (151/166). Las causas principales se debieron principalmente por el deficiente sistema de crianza y el desconocimiento, que conlleva a traumatismos, accidentes, falta de higiene y peleas entre animales.

          ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to describe ophthalmic conditions diagnosed at the main veterinary clinic in Havana, Cuba, between 2007 and 2020 in the golden hamster (Mesocricetus auratus), guinea pigs (Cavia porcellus), rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus), and aquatic turtles (Trachemys decussata). The sample was made up of 528 animals (174 golden hamsters, 116 guinea pigs, 72 rabbits and 166 turtles) of various ages and sexes. Hamsters were the most attended (33%), followed by turtles (31%), while 55% of these animals were female. Oculars prolapse was more frequent in hamsters (62/174), guinea pigs showed a higher frequency of blepharitis (62/116), conjunctivitis predominated in rabbits (38/72) and blepharoconjunctivitis in turtles (151/166). The main causes were mainly due to the poor breeding system and ignorance, which leads to injuries, accidents, lack of hygiene and fighting between animals.
