Hi, List,
I recently received this note from a buyer of a pup from our litter
last Dec. The litter was examined by an opthamologist before leaving
and nothing remarkable was found. The buyer refers to the exam in the
following post. However, now the vet is recommending extensive surgery
for medial entropian. Have any of you ever heard of this? Please let
me know as this is our regular opthamologist and I'm finding this a bit
odd.
thanks,
Suze
