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 Molly and I am six years old.My mommy adopted me from a shih tzu rescue and I am pretty happy.
I love to sleep on the bed,play with my toys,especially my kong when it's filled with treats and peanut butter.
I make a pretty good guard dog.I need to alert everybody in the house if someone walks by.I may sound ferocious, but really I'm a softie who loves to snuggle in a lap.I like to go for rides in the car as well.
I think mommy would like to get me a brother or sister, but I keep her pretty busy with my antics!Besides, I like to be the center of attention.
