I took Conan to see a veterinary ophthalmologist this afternoon. He always has what Christina calls "goopy and crusty" eyes and sometimes he wakes up with one eye completely shut and we have to clean it up for him to open it. Our regular vet thought it was caused by entropion, a condition where part of the eyelid is folded inward and requires surgery to fix it. She referred us to Dr. McNabb who did a full eye exam. Fortunately, it's not entropion and Conan will not need surgery. He has "chronic immune mediated conjunctivitis". He might need eye drops for the rest of his life, but we'll take that over surgery any day!
