Animal bite is a relatively frequent health problem with the main cause being domesticated dogs responsible for around 90 % of cases. Other common aggressors include cats, cows, camels, donkeys and horses. Here we report a case of total lid avulsion by a pet dog in a middle-aged man. This report represents the medical and surgical approaches used and the result of the lid injury treatment.
