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.

Mr. Big is a big teddy bear who loves to be around his dad and crys when he is gone. He loves to sleep on the beds when no one is watching. We have had Mr. Big his whole life and whouldent trade him for the world. He now for the first time shares the house with another male tog Taz they are starting to like eachother but Taz's playfullness seems to upseat Mr. Big but sometimes they play together outside. He dosent like being left alone. But loves having his rear end rubbed. Hor his age is is very playfull. He has watched me grow up I was only 2 when we got him so I can't even rember life with out him. All and all I whould have to say Mr. Big is the most loving kind loyal sweethearted quiet animal in the world.
