Thanks for visiting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. A Cherry Eye can only be repaired through surgery. The reason why is because a cherry eye is caused by a prolapse of the tear production gland. This means that the gland has popped through and rested in an area that it doesn't normally lie. The surgery corrects this by tacking down the gland back in its normal position, which is below the eyelid surface deep down. I would recommend having Kiki's eye examined by your vet to determine how severe the cherry eye is. It is likely Kiki will do well with eye ointment until she is old enough to have surgery, which is generally after 5-6 months of age. I hope that Kiki's eye does well and that she can have this fixed soon! Best wishes and take care.
