As mentioned, this eye mass goes by several medical names. Veterinarians usually refer to it as a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mspca.org\/angell_services\/third-eyelid-gland-prolapse-dogs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">third eyelid prolapse<\/a>, a prolapsed gland of the third eyelid, or the nictitans gland prolapse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s start with the word prolapse. It refers to a body part that\u2019s drooping or out of place. In the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">case of the so-called cherry eye in dogs, it\u2019s a tear duct that\u2019s popped out of place. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The nictitans gland produces tears in your dog\u2019s eye. Tears, as you know, are important for <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/dogs\/dog-eye-boogers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">eye health<\/a> because they help wash away dust and other debris. They also help the eyes stay healthy with good levels of oxygen.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means when the connective tissue holding the tear duct in place collapses, the gland has trouble doing its job. Then, it sits like a red bulbous mass in the lower eyelid.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veterinary ophthalmologists often call this tear gland a \u201cnictitating membrane.\u201d This membrane is in your pup\u2019s lower eyelid which is why you see the &#8220;cherry&#8221; rising out of the lower lid. The ligaments holding this gland in place have weakened and the resulting prolapsed gland swells out of the inner corner of the eye in a round and red mass &#8212; hence the term&nbsp; \u201ccherry eye.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>The third eyelid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Did you know that dogs have a third eyelid? In most dogs, you don\u2019t notice a dog&#8217;s third eyelid because it\u2019s hidden within the eye structure. However, when your pup has a weak ligament in the eye, this gland can shift. That\u2019s what you see as a round pink area in the corner of the eye. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can think of it as if you hung a birthday banner on the wall but only had old tape that was losing its sticky quality. It wouldn&#8217;t take long before the banner drooped. That&#8217;s what&#8217;s happening with your dog&#8217;s prolapsed gland.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That\u2019s not to say the gland will droop further. It tends to stay in the lower corner of the eye. Sometimes it returns to its original location on its own, but usually, it requires surgery.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain breeds are predisposed to this condition of the nictitating membrane.&nbsp; As a doting pet parent, you know it&#8217;s ugly. But is it painful, and what can you do about it?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>Which Dog Breeds Are Affected by Cherry Eye?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bulldog.jpg\" alt=\"best toys for bulldogs\" class=\"wp-image-15456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bulldog.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bulldog-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bulldog-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bulldog-1024x536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cherry eye tends to affect certain dog breeds more than others. For example, the breeds of dogs who commonly get ocular issues like <a href=\"https:\/\/news.vet.tufts.edu\/2019\/11\/severe-keratoconjunctivitis-sicca-accompanied-by-ipsilateral-xeromycteria\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">keratoconjunctivitis sicca<\/a><\/span> or <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">cherry eye are <a href=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/product\/best-toys-for-bulldogs-and-their-unique-traits\">English bulldogs<\/a>, beagles, Boston terriers, bloodhounds, pugs, Shih Tzus, Cocker Spaniels, Lhasa Apsos, and Mastiffs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know what it is and the breeds most at risk, you probably want to know if it\u2019s painful.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>Is Cherry Eye Painful?&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"628\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cherry-eye.jpg\" alt=\"cherry eye in dogs\" class=\"wp-image-16457\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cherry-eye.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cherry-eye-300x157.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cherry-eye-768x402.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cherry-eye-1024x536.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Alex Crow, DVM at <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/buttercrossvets.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Buttercross Veterinary Center<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&nbsp;shared with Outward Hound: <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWhile cherry eye isn\u2019t generally painful for dogs in itself, the potential complications of not treating this condition can lead to pain. Slight discomfort due to a prolapsed tear gland can lead to excessive rubbing, conjunctivitis and even ulcers developing on the cornea \u2013 all of which are painful.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Additionally, the damaged prolapsed gland can affect the tear glands and lead to dry eye in your dog because many of the tear ducts are in these<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tuftsyourdog.com\/doghealthandmedicine\/cherry-eye-in-dogs\/\">glands.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You might see your dog pawing at it which doesn\u2019t help and can make the affected eye worse. Unfortunately, cherry eye in dogs is not something that heals on its own.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>What\u2019s the Treatment for a Prolapse of the Gland?&nbsp;<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dog-eye-boogs.jpg\" alt=\"dog eye boogers\" class=\"wp-image-16169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dog-eye-boogs.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dog-eye-boogs-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dog-eye-boogs-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/dog-eye-boogs-1024x597.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you might guess, your veterinarian will likely recommend surgery for the affected eye or eyes. In some cases, dogs get cherry eye in both eyes.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are different surgical techniques your veterinary ophthalmologist will use to put the third eyelid gland back in place.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. Crow says, \u201cthe sooner the treatment is performed, the better the prognosis. Up to 50% of tear production comes from the nictitans gland, leaving treatment too long can lead to dry eye, conjunctivitis, and corneal ulceration.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He says the most common surgical technique is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.veterinaryevidence.org\/index.php\/ve\/article\/download\/182\/279?inline=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mucosal pocket technique<\/a>. In this instance, the surgeon creates a pocket in the mucosal tissue at the back of the third eyelid. Then, they reposition and suture the third eyelid gland. Usually, the stitches dissolve safely and your dog\u2019s eye is repaired. However, in some cases, your pup may have a re-prolapse, and repeat cherry eye surgery may be required.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Follow-up treatment requires medicated eye drops and anti-inflammatory lubricants. These reduce inflammation and infection plus keep the eye lubricated so your dog feels more comfortable.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><b>Can You Prevent Cherry Eye and How?<\/b><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/39A0089.jpg\" alt=\"resource guarding in dogs\" class=\"wp-image-15532\" srcset=\"https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/39A0089.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/39A0089-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/39A0089-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/outwardhound.com\/furtropolis\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/39A0089-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cherry eye in dogs is a genetic predisposition.

The symptoms of cherry eye in dogs are the pink or red mass in the corner of your dog\u2019s eye. So you\u2019ll know there\u2019s something wrong.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you know what to call it if it does occur in your pup, you\u2019ll know what it is and that scheduling a veterinarian appointment is your best next step.
