Cherry eye in dogs – Pet tip 122
Any owner of a dog who has had “cherry eye” will tell you that it is not a pretty sight. Perhaps you have witnessed it yourself and have seen the large red mass bulging out of the inner corner of a dog’s eye, from which the name ‘cherry eye’ originated. While not the most visually appealing condition (for the owners or the afflicted dog), cherry eye is actually a fairly common and benign occurrence in many breeds of dogs.
Though it may appear somewhat like a tumour or even an awfully big bug bite, the ‘cherry’ on your dog’s eye is actually a prolapsed (or popped out) gland. Known by veterinarians as the nictitans gland, this gland is present in the third eyelid of dogs and aids in the production of tears. Unlike humans, many animals possess this third eyelid which closes horizontally across the eye to provide extra protection and moisture.

Hi, my name is Daisy, and I just love life, I like to eat and sleep the most, but when I'm awake I play with my human children, I play with my canine sisters, and I like to run out doors. I live on a mt. in maine so I have plenty of room, My mommy spoials me, so I get good treats even when I dont deserve them (hahaha) I have had puppies before and I just loved being a mom, I was kind of sad to see them go, but I know they all have great homes with there new familys. My best memory was when my mommy takes me to the groomer for a bath, it is wonderful. My worst memory is when I peed on the floor and my mommy said I was naughty, gees I wont do that again!!!
