10 week old possibly got entropian.....
« on: December 05, 2014, 07:50:40 PM »
And I'm gutted! He was fine at his 8 week chek, then last week eyes started weeping.....went today for second jabs and bottom eyelids are rolling in, fucidin prescribed and I'm to keep an eye on him. If they become less inflamed then apparently I can use an ointment until he's old enough fr surgery.
I'm hoping he's going to grow out of it as he's so young and was fine last week.....do you think I'm being overly optimistic??

He may well grow out of it - 10 weeks is still very young to make a firm diagnosis  ;)

Coco had it as a pup and my vet said they usually wait until the dog is a year old to see if it goes on it's own.  Sadly, in Coco's case it didn't go away and she did have the op.  The op was a complete success though and no problems since - she is now 9  :D

I wouldn't worry too much for now as there is nothing you can do really apart from keep an eye on it.  If his eyes are sore, cold black tea is very good and soothing for bathing them.
