Abstract

A two-month-old male Labrador retriever pup was presented with a history of unilateral blepharospasm, and epiphora. The case was diagnosed with congenital unilateral entropion on physical and ophthalmic examination. The entropion condition was corrected surgically using modified Hotz-Celsus technique. Excellent recovery was observed, and no complication was recorded following treatment up to three monthspost surgery.
