My Chow Chow has hair loss and wounds around his eyes and face.

Hi and thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Sorry to hear about Chowder. I would get Chowder to your veterinarian. Several things are possible- He could be suffering from a corneal scratch/ulcer either due to an eye injury or an eyelid problem called entropion. This is where the eyelids roll in towards the eye causing corneal irritation, itching, and corneal damage. Another possibility would be a severe bacterial infection of the eyelids and surrounding skin or even a mite infection. Eyes are very special sense organs and eye problems can deteriorate very quickly. Your vet can gather a history, perform an exam and then advise diagnostic/treatment plans. Possible tests include corneal eye stain, measure pressure inside the eye, tear test, skin scrape (looking for mites), etc. Once a diagnosis is made, a sound treatment plan can be implemented. The swelling of the eyelids may need to go down before an assessment can be made about eyelid conformation. If entropion is discovered, surgery will be advised to correct the anatomical defect. Get him evaluated today. He may have corneal damage and that can impact his vision long term. Good luck
