You are here: Health > Entropion
Entropion is fairly common in Bassets, it is an hereditary condition and can be very mild or quite severe. Young puppies usually show signs of it at around 4 to 6 weeks of age. Sometimes the eye lid can right itself as the puppy grows if it is very mild, but sometimes a small operation is needed to stitch the affected eye lid which corrects the problem. Needless to say these dogs should NEVER be bred from.
We recommend you read this article on Entropion for more information.
