Ectropion 🎓 Bernie's University

Ectropion in dogs is a structural eyelid condition in which the lower eyelid rolls outward, exposing the inner lining of the eye.

While some breeds are predisposed due to facial conformation, significant ectropion can lead to recurrent conjunctivitis and long-term surface inflammation. Early evaluation helps determine whether supportive care is sufficient or surgical correction is needed.
