*ALINAH ~ ENTROPION SURGERY*

[ARMANI & ALINAH]

ALINAH underwent Entropion Surgery Friday by an Opthalmologist Surgeon. She did very well throughout the surgery and is now back home. She's quite a trooper but hates the Elizabethan Collar (or the "lamp shade").

So "Mommy" ran to the store to get her a blow-up "inflatable" collar so she can at least see where she's going & use her peripherial vision better.

ALINAH usually squints quite a bit and has lots of tearing from all corners of her eyes. Her eyes are usually not opened all the way, and her upper eyelids have always rolled in & curled down causing her eyelashes to rub on her eyes. We had taken her to see a specialist a while back because we thought her upper eyelids were drooping somewhat.

Since her surgery, ALINAH has some eye swelling to be expected. Below is a definition of what Entropion is if you've never heard of it. You'd be surprised that this diagnosis is pretty common in a lot of different breeds including Siberian Huskies.

*ENTROPION SURGERY*

[Entropion is an abnormality of the eyelids in which the eyelid "rolls" inward. This inward rolling often causes the hair on the surface of the eyelid to rub against the cornea (outer part of the eyeball) resulting in pain, corneal ulcers or corneal erosions. This corneal damage can also result in corneal scarring, that can interfere with vision. Most dogs will squint, hold the eye(s) shut and tear excessively.]

I just wanted to let everyone know what Entropion is.

ALINAH will be mostly healed in 2 weeks & will have her stitches removed then.

Big Brother ARMANI has worried about ALINAH and is being so sweet to his sister!![emoji171]

Have a great weekend!!

Glad the surgery went well  -   such a simple surgery to get a dog out of excrutiating pain - she must be feeling so much better already.

Aww, thanks everyone for the nice greetings for ALINAH!! I'm surprised she hasn't busted the inflatable yet.[emoji23] When we have either of the collars on her, she just stands in the yard & stares forward like a statue and does not move an inch.[emoji50]
So after awhile, I cave and take the collar off while she's still on the leash...then she'll go potty. (Yes, I let the dogs control "Mommy!!"[emoji85][emoji41])[emoji23]
Thank so much everyone!![emoji147][emoji191][emoji147][emoji4]

Rumo went through the same thing!

He had the surgery to correct entropion before we adopted him, but in his shelter photo, he had a lot of dark scarring around his eyes. I did not know that it was common in huskies. ( poor guy, he was heartworm positive as well)...but all is well that ends well! 

Hope Alina gets used to her special collar!

I know she will feel so much better with her eyes fixed. 😋
