Five cases of arcus lipoides corneae in the Alsatian are described. The affected animals were investigated and found to be hyperlipoproteinaemic and hypothyroid. Appropriate treatment was instigated and the results of treatment are presented. The laboratory findings for the five cases are compared with those for ten normal Alsatians of similar age range.
