Veterinary journals describe ectropion as “the eversion of the eyelid with exposure of the conjunctival surface. It involves the lower lid.” Dog health eyes are treated though ointments may be used to reduce inflammation and irritation, surgery is usually required to correct entropion. The method of surgery removes a margin of skin perpendicular to the inverted lid. Treatment for dogs suffering from ICH is mainly supportive and can be extremely variable depending upon the specific symptoms being exhibited by an individual animal. If damage to cells is severe, an intravenous catheter should be inserted immediately in order to administer fluid and glucose to restore blood sugar balance. Eye drops disperse across the surface of the eye rapidly and do not need to be rubbed across the eye by massaging. Hold the dog still for a minute or two to allow the medication to spread across the eye surface and be absorbed. Help keep your dog’s eyes healthy. “Always consult your veterinarian for a professional diagnostic”.
