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.

Here's a little bit about me.
My grandma named me Oreo because I have black and tan fur with a white patch in the middle. I like my name because it's sweet and suits me to a t!
I like to:
spend time with mommy and daddy
play fetch with mommy and daddy
eat broccoli
get tummy rubs
scare my daddy by pouncing on his chest to lick his face
go for walks because I get to meet other dogs and people
sleep near my parents because they are so very warm
chew on my bully stick
burrow into a blanket or one of mommy's comfy robes
climb up on chairs so I can see if there's food for me
play hide and seek under the couch
run around the living room until I get thirsty or tired
I don't like to:
take baths
wipe my paws and bum
be away from my mommy and daddy
eat my kibble if I can get something better
miss out on going out
go to the vet because the visits could hurt
walk in rain
sleep until my bed is just right
sit or lie down on cold surfaces
eat my kibble if there's something better to eat
My favourite toy is my curly whirly lamb with a low purring sound.
My favourite spot in the whole world is on my mommy or daddy's lap while they sit and watch tv.
