Eyelids are what we often call eyelids. Under normal circumstances, they stick to the eyeball very naturally, forming a barrier to protect the eyeball. There are two types of abnormal eyelids, entropion and ectropion. , which is also one of the common eye diseases in cats. This article mainly discusses the symptoms and correction of entropion of cat eyelids. ​​​​​​

With the increase in the number of cat owners, especially the number of purebred cats, the number of purebred cats has grown very rapidly. However, due to breed genetic diseases in some breeds, many cats have eye diseases, especially many flat cats. Cats often suffer from entropion of the eyelids. Once the owner fails to treat it in time, it will cause damage to the cornea, which may require medication to recover. A slight delay will cause severe corneal ulcers and the treatment time will be shortened. If it lasts for about 2 weeks, no matter how severe it is, the chronic irritation will lead to corneal necrosis, which is what we often call corneal bone rot.

Symptoms of entropion refer to a series of eye disorders caused by the eyelid margin turning toward the surface of the eyeball, and the eyelashes irritating the cornea. Most cases are caused by infection during the lactation period of the kitten, especially when the kitten starts to open its eyes around 7 days old. Causes conjunctivitis, conjunctival damage, leading to conjunctival shrinkage. Clinically, it can be seen as blurry eyes, tears, increased secretions, new blood vessels on the cornea, and corneal opacity. Long-term disease can cause corneal ulcers and perforations, and vision loss or loss.

For the treatment of entropion, surgical suturing combined with symptomatic treatment is commonly used. For cats with mild entropion, the eyelid skin can be temporarily sutured to eliminate eyelash irritation to the eyeball. For older cats, severe cases of entropion can be corrected surgically. Cut off a spindle-shaped skin strip 2 to 3 mm away from the eye fissure. The length is equal to the dangerous edge of the entropion and the width is just enough to correct the entropion. Then the two sides of the incision are combined and three-needle nodules are performed. Stitch. When used, combine chloramphenicol eye drops and cortisone eye drops alternately.
