Good Morning! I took Bella to a new vet who has more experience with Bulldogs to discuss having surgery for her cherry eyes and spaying. Found out the cherry eye is caused by hairs that are growing into her eye and causing her serious irritation. (her eyes are always goopy and sometimes matted closed with crud). He said it is called distachiasis. Anyone have a bully with this condition? I scheduled surgery for Oct 1st. He has to cut part of her lid where the hairs are growing. He also said it is possible that the hair grows back in and another surgery needed. He thinks there is a possibility that the cherry eyes might go away on there own after removing the hair. Any info would be appreciated!!!
Thanks
