Ectropion
With Ectropion, the lower eyelid rolls out from the face exposing the eye to irritation. his condition is usually seen in dogs with loose facial skin such as hounds, spaniels, and Saint Bernards. It can be seen in older dogs in whom the facial skin has lost its tone and sags. You may notice this temporarily in hunting dogs after a long day in the field. Plastic surgery may be necessary to tighten the lid and protect they eye. Usually one surgery will correct this but there are occasions when additional surgery is needed.
