Entropion In Dogs

Dogs with entropion may show signs like eye redness, squinting, increased tear production, and a wet area on the affected eyelid. A mucus discharge from the eyes may also occur.

Medical management can ease symptoms but won’t cure the problem. Eye drops and lubrications may be used. Surgical correction involves removing excess eyelid tissue. Animal Trust offers affordable upfront pricing for entropion surgery, starting at £469 for up to 2 eyelids.

Dogs with BOAS may exhibit symptoms like noisy breathing, difficulty exercising, overheating, and, in severe cases, collapsing or fainting due to insufficient oxygen reaching the brain.

Regular vet check-ups are crucial. Promptly treat eye issues to prevent secondary entropion. Avoid breeding from dogs with a history of entropion to minimize the risk of passing it to offspring.
