My Voitto had his eye tucked at about 4-5 months, but it didn't look bad at all compered to the massive sherry he had. Otto too will look as handsome as ever after awhile! Didn't they give you anything to put in his eyes after the surgery. We had to put drops 3 times a day.

I am so sad for our dog Otto. Yesterday he had cherry eye tacking surgery. I wish we'd never ever done it. It's a day later but I can't tell you how incredibly swollen and droopy his eyes are. I went back this am as soon as the opened and the doc that did it wasn't in but they gave him a shot for the pain and some drops for inflammation. The next time I'm scheduled is tomorrow at 5:15 and I don't want to wait (but it seems she's only in during the afternoon). I can't begin to describe how AWFUL and RED and so so so swollen they look. It's as if they are inside out. This mornings doc said they are extra swollen and he has congunctivitis. I seriously feel like I butchered my dog. The vet has done these often and she has a ton of bulldog patients... that I've seen in the waiting room. I am so sad and depressed. Anyone ever deal w/ this? :pray:

Brutus had cherry eye in both eyes. We tried to have them both tacked but it only worked in one eye. We had to had the lining removed in the other eye a few days after the initial surgery. It is a scary sight and sad to deal with. we had drops we had to put in the eyes twice a day and antibiotic ointment twice a day as well. The whole two surgeries in 1 1/2 wks was horrible but Brutus is doing great and he doesn't have eye issues anymore. Hang tough, it will get better and Otto will be much more comfortable soon.

Bump to see how Otto is doing! Hope all is going well. I'm glad I came across this thread as Cinnamon will most likely have to go through this soon. She has a small cherry that pops out every so often. The vet is waiting to see if she will grow out of it. I hope she does.

Cinnamon and Pepper both send loving licks!!!

My Brutus had both eyes done. It will get better. The swelling takes a little time to go down and believe me it will be much more comfortable for Otto. You did the right thing for him. Hang in there.

How is Otto doing? Hopefully he's recovering beautifully and you aren't as guilt ridden as you were. Hugs!

How is Otto doing? Our little guys just popped out today and will see the vet on Wednesday and after seeing your post I am scared to have anything done! Please let me know how he has progresses.

Bentley had the surgery done in both eyes at around a year old ! I felt the exact same way ! He looked so sad and swollen I wish I had never done it ! A year later he is fine but very bad dry eye and drops for the rest of his life in one eye :( hope everything went well !
