Hello
SINCE OTTO WAS YOUNGER MY VET SUGGESTED THAT EVENTUALLY HE WOULD HAD TO HAVE SURGERY FOR ENTROPIAN. NOW HE IS 3 YEARS OLD AND NEVER HAD ENTROPIAN problems BEFORE. THE LAST FEW MONTHS THOUGH HIS LEFT eye become redness and he was squirting the eye and he had an ulcer. It happened few times - ulcer >treatment>healing and then again. Otto very often go scratch his face on his pillow or on the carpet and he always did that since he was a puppy and that is a way of getting attention and start a game. I dont know if this behavior may have had a contribution or is the cause for that.... But is it normal he get entropian at 3year old???
anyway before going surgery i want to try a wholistic veterinary. what do you think????
also they suggested an ophtamologist in Manhattan at 62nd street ANY OF YOU BEEN THERE? HOW IS IT?
Thank you for help
rita and otto

Agree...only surgery can correct a true entropion
and if its distichia that too probably needs an ophthalmologist to treat (altho some traditional vets do these procedures); your best bet is with a specialist.

If he has entropian...
holitic medicine won't cure it, the eyelid needs to be surgically repaired so that it doesn't rub on the cornea. I would go to the opthamologist and have it evaluated. It needs to be fixed, otherwise they can go blind. One of our boys had it done years ago and it was a simple operation and he never had problems after that.
