canine eye surgery

Bishop, our male English Bulldog, has to have cosmetic surgery. Bishop was relentless in his demands to have this surgery and we caved - but we said no to the tummy tuck. Seriously though, Bishops eyes were really bothering him - he kept scratching and pawing at them and in fact, recently developed an ulcer due to the scratching.

He's always had entropion - a condition where the eyelids curl inward and poke his yes. In fact, this will be his second surgery for this condition. He's almost nine years old and the fat has diminished in his eyes which has created the condition again. Dr. Colitz is going to remove extra skin, upper and lower, to pull the eyelids open. Pay close attention to how tightly packed the folds of skin are around his eyes. After surgery, he's going to be a different looking man!
