Can distichiasis reoccurr after operation
1 Answer
Published on August 21st, 2018
It is recommended after procedures (cryosurgery or electrolysis) to recheck the area to ensure regrowth isn't occurring or hairs were not missed as sometimes there can be more than one lash growing abnormally and perhaps it was just growing in when treatment was first performed. In most cases the distichia doesn't recurr if cryosurgery or electrolysis is done. You can read more about this problem at https://veterinarypartner.vin.com/default.aspx?pid=19239&id=4951528
