Ben got a good puppy check with the exception of the Vet noting he had some eye lashes growing in places they should not grow -- called distichiasis. He said no need to do anything now, except use some Artifical Tears but he will eventually need these lashes permanently removed. They can be pulled (ouch) or lasered (preferred). He said he will have to go to an opthmalogist. Has anyone had this done or know anything more about it?
