Shih Tzus are prone to eye corneal ulcerations as their eyes are protruding, thereby vulnerable to injuries from people or surroundings. In this case, the injury could be due to grooming scissors by the mother. Two approaches to treatment are discussed with the owner's mother. One is applying eye drops and preventing treatment. The other method is eyelid sewing up. The dog had a very deep ulceration. The owner's daughter decided on tarsorrhpahy. Around 7 days later, the stitches opened up and the dog went home with home nursing. .
