A 7‐year‐old male Kerry Blue Terrier had been compensating for a visual deficit for approximately 2 months. Five days before examination, the dog had suddenly lost all vision and the pupils had become widely dilated and unresponsive to light. Ophthalmic examination revealed inflammation of the optic discs. Response to therapy was favourable but temporary. Post mortem findings consisted of granulomatous optic neuritis, meningoencephalitis and chorioretinitis, similar to reticulosis.
