Third, treatment methods.

Most cases of dog eyelid entropion can be corrected by surgery. Dogs who can undergo surgery must be 4-6 months old, or After the facial features have matured, surgery can be performed. Surgery generally uses lateral canthal fixation to reduce palpebral fissures to correct entropion of the eyelid. Generally, the upper eyelid flap is removed during surgery, and then the lower eyelid flap is retained. After the operation, the suture is restored.
