In this episode, we are continuing our deep dive into the fascinating world of canine eye care . You might think an eyelid is simple, but as Marty explains, there are six main categories of eyelid issues to watch out for: swellings, tumors, infections, allergies, immune-mediated diseases, and conformation . Key Topics in This Episode: Entropion vs. Ectropion: Learn the crucial difference between entropion (where the eyelid painfully rolls inward and scratches the eye) and ectropion (the loose, droopy eyelids commonly seen in Bassets, Saint Bernards and Clumber Spaniels) . If a young puppy suffers from entropion, getting their eyelids temporarily \"tacked\" is vital to break the cycle of squinting and prevent permanent corneal damage . Breed Conformation: We discuss why sled dogs have almond-shaped eyes to protect against harsh snow, while brachycephalic breeds have large, round eyes for a more infant-like appearance . The Secret of Tear Ducts: Did you know that tears actually drain into the nose? We explain how vets easily test for blocked tear ducts using glowing fluorescein dye . Dry Eye & The Tear Film: A dog's tear film consists of a water layer, a mucus layer, and an oil layer . We issue a major warning: if your dog develops \"cherry eye,\" never allow the third eyelid gland to be surgically removed , as it produces the crucial watery layer of the tears and removing it will cause permanent dry eye later in life . Eyelid Tumors and Mites: Discover why most eyelid margin tumors in older dogs are benign, whereas cats face a higher risk of cancer . Plus, we share a mind-blowing fact about Demodex mites living in the eyelid margins of dogs—and humans !
