I assume this is entropion. It's very common in some breeds such as Chow Chow and Shar Pei but I must admit I've not hear of it in Chi's. It's unusual to need 2nd surgery so soon after the first one. However it IS hereditary. She'll be fine now though - it doesn't have any adverse effects ----- Original Message ----- From: Shana To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, July 16, 2007 5:49 AM Subject: [Chihuahuas] A really fast question
I have a female chi she is almost a year old . I took her to the vet and I told the vet that she does not open her eye all the way . They told me that my chi (stella ) has 5 eye lashes that curl under and are rubbing on her eye . And that she needed surgery . So they went and did the sugery and she was fine ( the did it during her spay ) and then a few weeks latter I noticed that she was not openeing her eye again so I took her back to the vet and it was doing it again . the eye lashes were curling under . So then they needed to do the surgery again and this time they cut that hole part of her eye lashes out so then they wont grow back . Has any one hurd of this ? If so please let me know . I feel so bad because i have had to put her through that so much ... she has to have the cone on and she has stiches in it again ... Just let me know . thank you shana and stella
