TRICHIASIS, DISTICHIASIS, AND ECTOPIC CILIA IN DOGS :(

Evening everybody
I had Lola at the vet the other day and the vet reckons she's suffering with trichiasis/distichasis. Has anyone else's fur baby suffered with it??
They've give us a gel to reduce the swelling of the eye but she's so miserable I hate seeing her in pain

I've got to be honest I've never heard of it before so just googled it, is it an extra row of eyelashes Lola has ?

We think so she's 6 so it's just random that it's just happened :/
She's so uncomfortable and there's noting I can do it's horrible

So the gel is to soothe the eye I assume. Is there nothing that can be done long term ?

Yea it's to help bring down the swelling & puffinessfein the eye & I have to phone back in a week and let them know how she got on& if it hasn't worked she'll need surgery

Aww bless her, hope the gel works.
