Hi, I'm Dr. Johnson. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Poor Theo! Cherry eye is a layman's term for prolapsed tear gland of the 3rd eyelid. It is common in Frenchies, English bulldogs and mixes containing those breeds. I have seen it in other dog breeds as well. Most of the time Cherry eye doesn't bother the dog just the owners because we don't like how it looks. Sometimes it can cause secondary bacterial infections or cause discharge or become inflamed or painful. I recommend you discuss with your Veterinarian surgical correction. There is a procedure where the gland is tacked back into place. It is usually curative but sometimes it fails and a second procedure needs to be done. At a minimum your vet could prescribe eye ointment if it appears infected. Theo is super cute and I wish you the best!

It looks like Sasha has a cherry eye. Treatment is to surgically tack it down. Sometimes it can pop back out even if it is tacked down properly so Sash may have to have it fixed more then once. Although it is not common to have that happen. I would call your veterinarian and see if this is a surgery they perform. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.

Hello. Chewie has a prolapse of the nictictating membrane, or what is commonly know as cherry eye. This can definitely wait until Thursday, but Chewie will need a little surgery to replace the gland back into its little sac. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
