Distichiasis - Eyelashes Gone Awry

Distichiasis is the presence of distichiae, which are abnormal hairs growing from the edge of the eyelid. These hairs grow from oil glands, called Meibomian glands, which are normal and present in dogs' eyelids, and open onto the edge of the eyelid. If the hair grows out of the opening and protrudes at the eyelid edge, it is called a distichia; if it grows out through the eyelid's inner surface, effectively pointed toward the eyeball, it is called Ectopic Cilia. Dogs with disthichiasis typically have multiple occurrences on both eyes.

Symptoms of Distichiasis
There may be no symptoms at all, if the hairs are very fine and don't point inward. However, if the hairs are angled or curled inward, and/or are not as fine, then they may cause irritation of the cornea. Symptoms would include squinting, signs of discomfort, and possible gummy discharge. If the case is more severe, the dog may develop a corneal ulceration, which would show as a bluish-gray discoloration on the eye surface, possibly with a visibile indention if very severe, and the dog may be so uncomforable that he injures himself trying to scratch or rub his eye. -Read the whole article

German Shepherd Dog
The German Shepherd Dog is a very respected, admired, and utilized working dog throughout the world. They are easy to recognize and one of the most popular of all breeds. German Shepherds are acclaimed for their versatility, well known for intelligence, and beloved for their devotion and loyalty to master and family. The German Shepherd Dog has been a recognized breed for only about 100 years. The breed began its heritage from a small group of breeders breeding sheep herding and working farm

Flat-Coated Retriever
This breed is not for everyone. They are NOT black Golden Retrievers. While they do come in Yellow, liver or black...yellow is a disallowed color and should not be used in a breeding program. They are one of the best kept secrets of the dog world and responsible breeders wish to keep them that way...so they may be hard to find...and equally hard to adopt. Proper training and a sense of humor is a MUST when owning this breed.
