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.

My Name Is Puffy and i love to sleep in my owner's bed. I also love to play soccer outside in my backyard with mommy and daddy. I really dislike it when daddy goes away on business. I really miss him. I also do not like cucumbers for the live of me. Can't stand them. I love tomatoes and pasta. My cherished memory was when mommy and daddy brought me home from the pet store. I also love to sleep and cuddle up to mommy.
