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.

Blaze and Quest are real characters, they love to play outside in the snow, but are also just as happy sitting in the living room chewing on rawhides and relaxing with mum & dad.
If you can't tell by the picture they love to pose for the camera.
The only pet peeve these dogs have is when foxes come wandering through the back yard and they can't get out of the dog run to play with them.
They love playing with kids and other dogs...and even the odd cat.
Blaze's favorite pass-time is beating up Quest, and Quest's favourite past-time is digging holes to China....when she isn't fending off Blaze.
Alaskan Huskies are sled dogs by trade, they were bred for stamina and strength. But for anyone considering it, they are quick learners, and fantastic house dogs.
