A Question

[big napper 3,629]

Iv just bought this pup for my grandson and when it went to the vet to get inoculated they found hairs growing out of its eye ball, they said it could be inbreeding but its not that,

Any ideas what caused this.

Thanks

I've got no idea but it's a really nice pup how's it bred ??

Is it not inverted eyelids? Ive heard of a few recently where the eyelashes grow inwards rather than outwards and it causes the dog considerable pain and discomfort but is easily fixed by a vet.

Its full border to patterdale mark,

 

R H, its not ingrowing eye lashes mate they are actualy growing out of the eye ball,

The vet is going to let us know the best thing to do and the cost next week,

A mate had a Middleton bred pup and that was same had to have a op to sort it but there was other health problems had to be put down before 12 months.

He had a check up and 100% fine besides his eye, it can be cut out and grafted or loose the full eye is what the vet said, waiting for them to deside which it is,

hopefully all will be good and not to expensive have you spoke to the breeder see if the other are the same or he might know a bit more info good luck pal

Yes phoned him and others are fine, he is a decent bloke he sent back £100 towards vet bill

Never heard of hairs growing OUT of the eye ball, didn't think it would be possible.

Eye lids turned in can cause the eyelash to rub against the eyeball and cause pain but it's a simple operation to fix it.

Inverted eyelids i believe is called entropium very irritating to the eye causing the eyes to water and causing sores in the dogs folds on their face.

 

I had this on a Bulldog many years ago simple operation shar-pei suffer from it as well.

 

Hairs growing out of the eyes unusual best of luck with the pup.

I don't know about the topic but I have the same cross dog and they look the spitting image. Mine is a great character, good luck with it!
