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.

I am the PRINCESS of the household! I live with only my mommy, but we have lots of friends (aunts and uncles, etc). I love though having ALL my mommies attention as I am a momma's girl! I love to go for walks, car rides and roll on the grass and get direct especially when I have just had a shower, ruff, ruff! I love to eat vegtables, potatoes and my treats of course - raw hid and cookies! When I don't get what I want I roll my rrrrrrrr and my mommy then gives in. I also love to sleep in my mommies bed and I push or roll over anyone else who tries to join us...My favorite toy is my "Wrinkle" dog, that I like to chew and my most cherished momment was when my mommy adopted me from the SPCA and now I live the life of a PRINCESS!
