Distichia

This affects the gland at the eyelid of a dog. Simply put, it is an eye lash, sometimes more than one, rising out of a normal spot on the dog\'s eyelid. Visible Symptoms can be mild to severe irritation of the eye, which can cause infection, tearing, scarring, and squinting. Some breeds are more susceptible than others. These are Miniature Dachshunds, Bulldogs, Shetland Sheepdogs, Cocker Spaniels, Pekinese, Poodles, Yorkshire Terriers, and King Charles Cavaliers. Veterinarians, depending on the severity, can manually remove or, in more sever circumstances, surgically remove.
