- Figure 1: Cherokee, a 2-year-old male Irish setter presented for intermediate congenital entropion of the left bottom lid. It was decided to surgically correct the entropion with the Aesculight CO2 laser.

- Figure 2: Intra-operative view. A narrow shallow crescent of skin was excised from the lower lid with the Aesculight laser set to 16 watts SuperPulse. Note complete lack of bleeding.

- Figure 3: Immediately post-operative view. The wound was sutured. Note minimal swelling. During the same visit neuter was performed along with the entropion correction. Both procedures took 45 minutes to complete.
