Question
Hello, my female dog is having a problem with hef eye. I looked into her eye and it seems like her inner eyelid is folded down on top of itself and is irriatating her. I dont know of anything that had happening to her eye.

Answer
Hi Justin,

I am not really sure which eyelid you are speaking of. Some dogs develop cherry eye, where the cartilage of the inner eyelid turns inside out. It usually looks bright red, hence the name "cherry eye."

That usually has to be repaired surgically. Even if this is an entropion, or an ectropion, where the eyelids either turn under or over, they will need surgical intervention.

In either case, you need to get your dog into the vets to have it looked at.
