What is Pannus?
German Shepherd Dog Keratitis [pannus], is a chronic inflammation of the
corneal surface with a build up of protien, in most cases, of the
conjunctiva of the eye. In veterinary medicine the disease is also known as
Keratitis Ueberreiter, named after the man who first described it (1). The
reason it is called German Shepherd Dog Keratitis is because the disease is
found predominantly in German Shepherds and is only rarely seen in other
breeds (e.g., Collie, Poodle, Dachshund, Greyhound, mixed breeds).
