ya thats called an entropian ,and its very common in some breeds. i was a vet
tech for several years and we handled about 3 cases a month for this condition.
it was a good thing for the vet to do the surgery, eyelashes constantly
rubbing in your eye is a very painful condition and every dog handles pain
differantly. she could have become a grouchy, unmanagable dog. i know it
seems like a harsh treatment for it, but in my opinion you are being a very
responsible owner to have it taken care of.

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
