Entropion is commonly found in which breed of dog?

Entropion is a condition where the eyelids roll inward, causing the eyelashes to irritate the cornea and potentially leading to serious eye problems. Bulldogs are particularly prone to this condition due to their loose skin and facial structure, which can contribute to the misalignment of their eyelids. The brachycephalic (short-nosed) structure seen in Bulldogs increases the likelihood of developing entropion as their unique facial anatomy can often cause the eyelids to fold inward more than in other breeds.

While other breeds like Basset Hounds and Dachshunds can also experience entropion, they are not as commonly associated with this condition as Bulldogs. For Golden Retrievers, entropion is less frequent, making them less likely candidates for this particular issue. Understanding the anatomical predispositions of Bulldogs helps to identify them as the breed most frequently affected by entropion.
