<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My Cody underwent entropion surgery about a year
ago.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>He was five years old at the time, I kept asking
the vet why his eye was always watering like that. He poo-pooed it, "just basset
eyes, don't worry." After joining the drool and reading about the eye
problems our poor furkids can get I wasn't about to ignore it, I examined
his eye myself with a magnifying glass when I got home, (kicking myself for not
doing that sooner) I was horrified to see his lower lashes were turned inward
and had been scratching his eye all that time. Needless to say, changed vets
immediately and the surgeon on staff there did the surgery herself. She
reassured me it was not a big deal, just cosmetic. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>His eye is fine now, no more watering, but perhaps
it may have looked more refined if a doggie eye doctor had preformed the
surgery. I could have it repeated but don't want to put Cody through the torture
of having to wear the dreaded e collar again, a lesson I learned the hard way. I
felt so sorry for him and thought I could leave it off as long as I was in
the room. NO WAY, one rub on the carpet and it started bleeding, had to take him
back in, luckily no damage done, but the collar was on for 10 days.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The cost of the surgery was around $400.00, well
worth it and pretty reasonable I think. </FONT></DIV>
