Surgical reconstruction of severe cicatricial ectropion in a puppy

HL Hamilton, SA McLaughlin, RD Whitley, and SF Swaim

A three-month-old chow chow mixed-breed puppy was presented with severe cicatricial ectropion of the upper eyelids after being burned maliciously. The burn wounds healed by second intention with contracture, causing eversion, elevation, and immobilization of the upper eyelids. The puppy was unable to blink or close the upper eyelids due to cicatrix (i.e., scar) formation. Surgical repair using tissue-relaxing procedures was successful in reducing corneal exposure and improving the puppy's appearance.
