Third eyelid problems

Poor baby... give her some bacon to make her feel better!

Hey everyone ! So just wanna say for the record - it’s not her “third eyelid” lol i learned that’s like in the corner of their eye? This is just her regular ole bottom eyelid that’s giving problems. After the drops her eye isn’t as inflamed this morning which is great and she is pretty used to our routine of “treat, face wiping, treat” so she isn’t bothered by the application either!

You're on the right track. It's possible that mild entropion caused a little irritation and she scratched at her eye and it ballooned from there.
Goopy = eye boogers
chronic tear stains is a telltale sign.
It's good that you are aware and being the best bullyMom you can be!

Thank you! I really appreciate all your help.

She was 49 lbs last months visit and now she’s 50. The tech said we can call that her holiday weight lol and the vet said she loves her size to keep up whatever we’re doing. Omg we also met this little nugget Fiona last night and i almost died she was beautiful [emoji24][emoji24][emoji24]

Can I ask a question? Louie has mild entropion, his lower lids roll in just slightly which is causing watering and he does have stains. Eye surgery freaks me out and the vet said it’s not medically necessary to fix just for watering but that there is a chance it can get worse as he gets older which would require surgery but there’s also a chance it doesn’t get worse. I was going to do the surgery when he gets neutered at the end of the month but have now decided to hold off on it. Thoughts?

She does have a ton of skin around her face maybe that’s It. She is super meaty maybe bella is all muscle and fran is all treats [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]*

I have 2 that had entropion surgery. It was really no big deal(except for the fact that any surgery is a worry) the worst of it was 2 weeks in a cone. After a few days,they learned how to motivate with it. (they both had stitches,that should'nt be scratched) I would have it done all at one time,while he is "under" rather than later. Just make sure your Vet is experienced!

Glad this thread is able to help others! Just wanted to say that my plan (if the surgery is necessary and I’m in the same boat as you where i don’t think it’s super horrible now but don’t want It to get progressively worse over the years) is to also try and get It done when fran gets spayed. Please keep us updated !

Hmm i have selective reading abilities and just saw the bottom part on holding off... either way please let me know! Also my vet said once they have any sort of eye problem such as needing drops etc that It never really goes away in her experience but I’m also open to anyone else’s experience here with their babies and eye problems

My vet said at this point it’s not medically necessary but it might be in the future. One of my concerns is the recovery as Louie is home alone for a few hours every day during the week so I would be worried about that. I might revisit the issue during the summer months when someone could be home with him. Unfortunately I can’t wait too long to neuter him as he has cystinuria so I’m going forward with that at the end of the month.

I think that’s extremely practical and in the best interest of louie. I take fran to Work most days not sure if that would hurt or help with her having to travel in and out of the car ya know ? Take comfort in knowing you’re doing the best you can ! Wish i could snap my fingers and make everything all better for them

Thank you.

I know I would just feel awful if he was home alone and somehow got into some trouble. I would never forgive myself.

Here is the quote the vet prepared for us. This includes her being spayed and eye surgery. Thoughts, experience and opinions appreciated.
