Help! entropian tacking for 10wk puppy worth the risk?
Submitted by admin on April 21, 2010 - 12:07amHi has anyone have any experience with entropian tacking? Her eyelids turn inward a bit-- not a lot. One Dr said to wait for her to grow into her face (she is only 10wks) that it may go away and not worth the risk of anesthesia.
She had scratch on her cornea when I went to another vet he recommended tacking her eyelids. It would be under general anesthesia. Is it worth the risk? He said they may pull out latter and then we can do the cutting of the eyelids when she is older. My question is it worth putting her through the tacking--not soppose to be major surgery but still she needs to be put under.Is a temparary fix worth it? Should we wait?

I personnally would wait and listen to the 1st vet, get Refresh
each eye twice a day to keep the eyes well lubricated. This is what human opthamologists prescribe for mild dry eye in humans and it keeps the eyes lubricated as its base is an oil. This way the little hairs will just slide over and not scratch hopefully.
