Hi, I'm Bella's Dad. Bella is a Chow Chow breed, just aged 5 last week, and she is such an amazing doggie, she is outstanding, friendly, loves life and loves all other pooches and humans alike.

Since being a puppy, she has had a condition called ENTROPION, as formally explained below. It seems to be getting worse, and its now time to take action before it contributes to further conditions.

Your help towards the cost of the operation would be awesome and extremely appreciated.

Chow Chows are prone to a condition called entropion, where their eyelids roll inward, causing eyelashes to rub against the eye. This can lead to irritation, pain, and even corneal ulcers or vision impairment if not treated. In some cases, distichiasis (abnormal eyelashes growing towards the eye) can also cause irritation.

Cause:

Entropion is often a developmental or anatomical problem, particularly in young, rapidly growing Chow Chows.

Symptoms:

Excessive tearing, squinting, pawing at the eyes, and potentially visible corneal ulcers or pigmentation.

Treatment:

Surgery is often required to correct the eyelid position, sometimes with temporary stitches in puppies while they mature.

Complications:

If left untreated, entropion can lead to corneal ulcers, pigmentary keratitis (dark spots on the cornea), or even rupture of the eyeball.
