Medial entropion is common in the Shih Tzu. What is the solution? Surgery to roll out the eyelid is effective.

shih tzu, bitten by red ants on upper lip. Swollen lip. toa payoh vets, singaporeThe dog came in for ant-bite edema of his upper lip. I took the pictures for educational purposes and to show one intern, Tanya before she goes for her first year vet studies what is the meaning of "entropion". She needs more hands-on experience, rather than watching me from the sidelines. So, I asked her to "roll out" the eyelid for me to take pictures. She did it. I took the picture. This Shih Tzu dislikes eye contact with the photographer and so, out of 37 pictures, only the ones here are useful.

I hope Tanya remembers this case when she studies "entropion" in the vet school in the next 5 years. All my clients are quite happy when I inform them that the interns need hands-on touching their dogs to gain practical knowledge.
