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.

Riley DD is the apple of our eye. Very intelligent,but can be a little stinker when he wants to be, meaning if I don't want to listen, I won't. He's still learning! He's a pup that has needed alot of attention and patience but he's well worth it.
Everyday you can see his personality come our more and more. I make my owners laugh at least once a day.
I love to play catch,love attention and love to do tricks.
I hate it when it's raining hard as I don't get a chance to go outdoors and play. When he was 2 1/2 we all went for a walk and he came across a firehydrant and looked at us and looked at it and to say " Hey that is might big and I wonder what it is for " We both laughed. It seemed funny.
Riley thinks he's a lap dog and he'll try to cuddle up but ends up half on and half off my lap. My fav place to sleep is my owners bed. My Mom and Dad spoil me and I just love to be treat well.
He's a Super Pup and the time we spend with him is Priceless!!
