A 6 months old, 20.5 kg female Golden Retriever dog was presented with bilateral exophthalmos and no protrusion of the third eyelid. Based on the patient's history, clinical signs, physical examination and ophthalmologic examination, extraocular myositis (EOM) was diagnosed. The exophthalmos was reduced after 7 days and disappeared after 14 days of corticosteroids treatment. Discontinuation of corticosteroids treatment can lead to recurrence of EOM, but in this case there was no recurrence for 2 months. This is the first reported case of canine extraocular myositis in Korea.
