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 favorite things by Casey
I love treats, Frosty Paws, walks, going to the dog park, my Nana, sleeping on the couch with my Mama, riding in the truck with my Daddy, bossing Emmie and Toby around and being the number 1 dog!

I love food (any and all), my toys, playing ball, making Casey chase me, my Nana, Toby, going to the dog park, sleeping with Mama and Daddy, hiding under the bed and hugs and kisses!
