In the practice of veterinarians, the pathology of the organ of vision in dogs and cats occupies a significant place. In this case, violations in the anatomical structure of the eyelids are often encountered. This condition is especially typical for certain types of dog breeds (Shar Pei, Chow Chow, English Spaniel, mestizos, etc.) and cats (Maine Coon, British, etc.) with pronounced skin folds. Inversion of the eyelid (lower, upper or both) leads to constant irritation of the cornea by eyelashes and hair, which provokes the development of conjunctivitis, clouding of the cornea and can lead to loss of visual function of the eye. To date, among the surgical methods for treating this pathology, the following methods are used in veterinary practice: blepharoplasty according to Stades, according to Kunt-Szymanovsky, according to Hot-Celsius, Tacking technique and others. The aim of our study was to analyze the application of the Hot-Celsius method for the correction of eyelid torsion in dogs and to develop a postoperative care regimen that would provide a favorable recovery period. As a result of a clinical study, it was found that the main manifestations of eyelid inversion in dogs are the following signs: blepharospasm, profuse catarrhal discharge from the palpebral fissure, corneal damage. Based on the performed blepharoplasty, we believe that for the surgical correction of lower eyelid torsion, it is advisable to use the Hot-Celsius method, which provides adequate skin tension and restores the anatomical shape of the lower eyelid. To prevent the development of complications in the postoperative period, we proposed a treatment regimen with the appointment of antimicrobials and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.
