My Boston Terrier puppy's eye looks odd sometimes. Is it cherry eye?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Boston Terrier | Female | unspayed | 2 months and 8 days old

I think my 2.5 month old Boston Terrier puppy has the start of a cherry eye??...however I can only see it at certain angles or when she’s looking a certain way and sometimes only when she’s actively playing. Is this something I should really be concerned about? or is this just something because of her eye shape?

Mazikeen does look like she is getting cherry eye. This is usually a congenital problem. I recommend to have her examined by her veterinarian as medications may help to reduce inflammation and keep the gland in its place. Best of luck and please feel free to post any additional questions.
