Abstract
A female dromedary camel was presented with clinical signs of lacerated left upper eyelid, profuse lacrimation due to continuous irritation of avulsed large, edematous tarsal flap. In order to correct the thwarted vision, continuous irritation and profuse lacrimation, a decision was made to repair the avulsed part of the lacerated eyelid under deep sedation and local infiltration. Obligation of proper surgical techniques and maintenance of adequate postoperative measures rewarded with uneventful recovery.
