Tip
Shepherd’s Choice™ Management Tip
Watery eyes in baby lambs are generally inverted eyelids and not pink eye. The hair of the eyelid is rubbing against and irritating the outside surface of the eye, making it water. The eyelids need to be corrected. I like to use metal wound clips. The clips are pinched together horizontally, not vertically as one would think. It is generally the bottom lid that is involved. I've seen lambs with watery eyes, depressed, head down, and standing around; fix the eyelid and they have been jumping and playing around several hours later. Failure to fix the eye can result in permanent damage and blindness.-

While the clips are a long way from the perfect fix for Entropian, they are the best solution available. Premier is a rare source for them and as always, they are shipped and in use before others get the order processed.

Worked wonderfully to correct a kids eyelid.

Wish I would have bought these sooner. It takes a couple times of use to figure out where to put them on a lambs eye lid but very effective at fixing them.

I give the clips 4 stars as I don't like using them and they really aren't super effective. On the other hand, they are by far the best thing out there to fix Entropion. Until the Premier Team figures out a new solution, buy these and use them knowing they are the best solution available. In the mean time — Premier — I'm issuing you the challenge to find a better way!

Though I have not purchased these from premier one. They just started carrying them. They are "eye savers". Been using them for years. A few day with a clip applied, corrects the entropian! So glad to see Premier carry these.
