Entropion Eye Surgery Service
Book a Consultation Now
Entropion is a medical condition where a pet’s eyelid rolls inward, causing the eyelashes and skin to rub against the surface of the eye. This can result in irritation, pain, and in severe cases, corneal damage or ulcers. Entropion can occur in one or both eyes and is common in certain dog breeds such as Shar Peis, Bulldogs, and Retrievers. Cats, though less commonly affected, can also develop this condition.
Symptoms of Entropion
- Excessive Tearing: Your pet’s eyes may appear watery due to constant irritation.
- Squinting or Blinking: Frequent squinting or blinking can be a sign of discomfort.
- Redness and Swelling: The affected eye may appear inflamed.
- Rubbing or Pawing at the Eye: Pets often rub their eyes to relieve discomfort, which can worsen the condition.
- Visible Eye Damage: In advanced cases, you may notice cloudiness or ulcers on the cornea.
If your pet shows any of these signs, seeking veterinary attention promptly is essential to prevent permanent damage to their vision.
Causes of Entropion in Pets
Entropion can be congenital (present from birth) or acquired due to scarring from injuries, infections, or chronic eye conditions. Certain breeds are genetically predisposed due to the shape of their eyes and facial structure.
