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.

SHE'S THE BEST!!
Milli is one of a kind! She is the smartest dog and as you can see by the picture, one beautiful looking dog. We try not to brag about her as we have her Mom - Chevy whose feelings get hurt very easily. Milli got her Canadian Championship in 3 days!! She is awesome!! Milli, after completing all of her testing, is now the Mother of 5 puppies. Hopefully, we can show one and it does as well as her. Milli likes to chase squirrels - and she has caught some unfortunately she does catch them. Mostly Mills just hangs out with us and babysits the kids.
