Blepharitis

What is it? 

Blepharitis is the inflammation of the eyelids. Causes include bacteria, fungus, parasites and some immune-mediated diseases. The doctor may recommend further diagnostic testing, such as cytology or biopsy to determine the underlying cause. 

Symptoms

Symptoms include swelling of the eyelids, hair loss, epiphora (excessive tearing), squinting, and/or rubbing at the eye.

Treatment

Treatment for blepharitis is tailored to the undelying cause, but usually includes topical and/or oral medications. Pets affected by blepharitis often cause more damage to themselves by rubbing at their irritated eyes. For this reason, Elizabethan collars often need to be worn by affected pets
