Disease Description: Abnormally growing eyelashes.
Inherit Mode: -
Disease Symptom: The abnormally-placed hairs growing from the lids irritate the cornea as they rub against it. The affected eye will become red, inflamed, and may develop a discharge. The dog will typically squint or blink often, much like a person with a hair or other foreign matter in the eye. The animal will often rub the eye against objects such as the furniture or the carpet. In severe cases, the cornea may become ulcerated and appear bluish in color from the aberrant hair or from self-mutilation by the pet.
Disease Cause: -
Disease Diagnose: -
Treat Method: The abnormal eyelashes are best removed through the use of surgery or electroepilation.
