Dog Eye Disorders - Trichiasis - Dog Health Issues Dog Health Trichiasis Dog related information, articles and descriptive, educational videos

Trichiasis in dogs is hair from the eyelid growing in the wrong direction and rubbing on the eye, causing irritation. It usually occurs at the lateral upper eyelid, especially in the English Cocker Spaniel.

Treatment:
Removal or destruction of the affected eyelashes with electrology, specialized laser, or surgery. In many cases, removal of the affected eyelashes with forceps resolves the symptoms, although the problem often recurs in a few weeks when the eyelashes regrow. Severe cases may cause scarring of the cornea and lead to vision loss if untreated. Mild cases may not require treatment.

It can also be flattened by rubbing petroleum jelly onto it, but surgery is sometimes necessary for permanent correction.
