I hope you've reported the condition back to the breeder, because ectropion is genetic and if your dog came from a responsible breeder, they will want that information.

Also, Berners that develop ectropion in the center of the eyelid typically will develop entropion in the corners of the eyelid too, so you should keep watch on that.

Hi Brnrmom,

Thanks for the advice. We will be sure to monitor her, and if it gets worse or seems to bother her, it will be straight to the vet.

Is your place dusty? I don't have any clue but I'm guessing the dog is having dust is his eyes while running.

As stated previously, ectroprian is a genetic fault but need not pose serious problems if tended to regularly. Ectroprian is unmistakable as the dogs have loose eyelids that droop like a Bloodhound......if the eye lid is not tight fitting you will see the lower red of the eye ball, and such dogs are prone to eye infections.

Natural eye drops such as Similisan can be helpful - just fine at your health food store.

This shouldn't be confused with otherwise proper eyes that are red - this is a sign or irritation and is usually allergies. If you see it following a bath, it can be water irritation, but is usually allergies.

The natural eye drops help here too though
