Great Surgeon: At 8 weeks of age, our Akbash/Kangal smooth skinned puppy had developed entropian (eyelids turn into eye and rub eyelashes against cornea). Her eyes were constantly tearing and we were worried about permanent damage to the eyes like scarring and we didn’t want our little Sugar to suffer. We took her to Dr. Pawel, who diagnosed her case as severe and suggested that we consider surgery. We had already done some research on this illness and knew that many websites and vets didn’t recommend surgery until they were mostly grown to minimize the chance of over or under correcting the problem leading to future surgeries. Dr. Pawel was sympathetic to our concerns but felt that he could correct the problem now. Apparently, entropian surgery is as much an art as it is a science as stated by one vet on the internet and many people take their dogs to specialists in Vancouver to get this surgery. We felt confident in Dr. Pawel and went ahead with the surgery. After the surgery, we could see that it was a huge success. Her eyes looked great and no more tears. But we weren’t sure how they would be as she continued to grow. However, she is now 8 months old tomorrow and her eyes look fabulous. You wouldn’t know that she ever had a problem. Thanks Dr. Pawel, you’re a great vet and artist.
