I've never heard of this with dogs, but I used to work for an human Opthalmologist and we saw several cases of this with humans. Dangerous thing...it can cause very painful, infection prone corneal ulcers that could penetrate the cornea...I don't know of any vets practicing transplants for dogs so you certainly don't want that to happen. We did have several incidents where to doctor I worked for would literally freeze and kill the eyelash folicle causing it to never grow again. I don't know where you could find a vet who would do this (not much knowledge of how dogs are treated with this problem) but it is fixable. |
