What is Entropion In Dogs

Entropion in dogs is a condition where the eyelid rolls inward, causing the eyelashes and fur to rub against the eye's surface, leading to irritation and potential damage. Entropion is most often a hereditary condition, meaning it is passed down from parents to offspring. Certain breeds are predisposed to entropion, including: Chinese Shar Pei, Doberman Pinscher, English Bulldog, Rottweiler and Spaniels.
