ginge2k6 0 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Probably spelt the name wrong but who cares. Anyway, my mum and dad went into a certain pet shop last night and they had for sale some sharpies with stitches acrosd there eyelids, apparently sharpies have droopy eyeloids that now have to be stitched back. Anyone seen or heard of this before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mac 30 Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 The Shar-pei is one of many breeds often affected by Entropion , or turning in of the eyelid, and cherry eye, or prolapse of the of the third eyelid. It's quite common for pupps to need an eyelid "tuck", a surgical procedure to hold the eyelids back so they don't rub on the eye. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
