- Sophie, Dually (Forever in my Heart)
My poor Dually had entropian surgery 3 times!! The first time I let a doctor do it that I wasn't completely comfortable with because I worked with her and the price was right. When I went to pick him up first thing she told me was that he will probably need the procedure done again in a couple years. Well exactly 2 months later, I noticed a lot of drainage from his eyes and he was squinting pretty bad. So I took him to work with me and had the doctor look at him. Of course he needed the procedure done a second time. Now mind you my Dually is an extremely wrinkly bulldog and this doctor wanted to remove his nose wrinkle and some of his wrinkles from his face because she said it was the only way to keep his eyes from folding in again. I absolutely refused to do that to him, afterall, I love his wrinkles!! Oh did I mention that she also does the entropian with a laser?? Come to find out after 2 surgeries that she never even removed any of the extra skin she was just trying to tighten his extremely wrinkled forehead by doing laser surgery!!!! So after the 2nd surgery I took him home, waited for him to heal and noticed nothing different. Within 2 months of the 2nd surgery he was at it again, lots of drainage and squinting. I found another doctor to do the surgery and this time it was done right, she removed skin from around his eyes thus pulling the eyelids up and making the lashes point out. This was done 2-1/2 years ago and I have not had another problem with his eyes. I do put ointment in them a couple days a week just to make sure they are not bothering him. He had a vet appointment a week ago and the vet said his eyes looked good!! I'm so glad because I really didn't want to put him through another surgery like that!! I could kick myself for letting the first doctor touch him not once but twice!!
