We're certainly not doing any surgery without a second opinion. I've seen dogs while working at the shelter with entropia and it's pretty obvious like the rottweiler puppy in the photos that Kelsey posted.

I can look at Charlie's eyes and don't see any eyelashes or fur touching his eye. It's possible that the vet didn't understand my question, or I didn't understand his answer. He went into too much detail about the surgery to correct entropia, when I was asking if the minor swelling from Charlie's irritation and squinting would cause his lids to roll (temporarily until the puffiness went away). He made it sound like a permanent condition. Charlie's eyes just don't look entropic to me at all.

The good news is that Charlie slept an hour or two after we got home, and when he woke up his eye was totally open again. No more squinting today. When I pull his lid back, I can see a little bloodshot coloring. I think the next week of the antibiotic drops to clear any possible bacterial infection will take care of us. Hope so, anyway.
