Entropion is a genetic condition in which a
portion of the eyelid is inverted or folded inward. This can cause an
eyelash or hair to irritate and scratch the surface of the eye,
leading to corneal ulceration or perforation. It can also cause
dark-colored scar tissue to build up over the wound - petmd.com
Last week Dean went to the Veterinarian to have his right eye looked at. Lynn noticed that it seemed weepy on club day and from her experience thought it might be entropian. After consulting with GDB it was recommended that Dean have a doctor visit.
We hope it will take care of itself over the next few weeks/months, otherwise he might need to have a surgery to address the issue. This I understand is normal and nothing to worry about, just monitor.
Lynn shared a story about a dog that had entropian and after the surgery was suddenly able to see things much better and became fearful of some people and objects that before were not so imposing.
