Investigation of The Effects of Elizabethan Collar and Wound-Protective Corset on Intraocular Pressure in Cats

Abstract

This study aimed to compare the effects of the commonly used Elizabethan collar and an alternative protective body garment on intraocular pressure (IOP) in cats during the postoperative period. The research was designed as a prospective, randomized, and controlled clinical trial, and included 20 healthy cats scheduled for orchiectomy. IOP measurements were performed using rebound tonometry at baseline (T0), during the surgical procedure, and at various postoperative time points (T5–T60, T24h). The results demonstrated that cats fitted with an Elizabethan collar exhibited more pronounced fluctuations in IOP over time, with significantly higher values recorded at certain time points. In contrast, cats wearing the protective body garment maintained more stable IOP levels throughout the observation period. Statistical analyses revealed a significant interaction between time and group (P=0.034), whereas the group factor alone did not have a statistically significant effect on IOP (P=0.690). These findings suggest that the protective body garment may represent a more physiological, safe, and effective option for maintaining ocular health in the postoperative period. Moreover, the data obtained from this study provide valuable guidance for veterinarians in clinical practice and can assist pet owners in making more informed decisions regarding postoperative care. In conclusion, the protective body garment can be considered a promising alternative to the Elizabethan collar in feline postoperative management.
