A 3-year-old intact female Old English Bulldog and 5-month-old spayed female Chow Chow were diagnosed with entropion. Instead of surgery, hyaluronic acid (HA) filler injections were performed to correct the entropion and relieve the associated symptoms. We used the layered feathering technique, which was effective for the administration of the HA into the tissues for the correction of canine entropion. The eyelid positions were maintained for 6-8 months after the procedures. These cases demonstrate that HA filler injections relieve clinical signs quickly and effectively, though temporarily, in patients with entropion.
