I was hoping I would avoid the cherry eye monster but sadly Reggie got one two weeks ago. I let him out in the garden all fine and twenty minutes later I went out and it had appeared.
I am a big wuss and totally squeamish so the thought of pushing it back was a no go, in fact I struggled to even look at it as I even worse around eyes! I spoke to the breeder and he said he you want to stop it completely (I was in a right flap) then you have to look at surgery. My vet looks at stitching them but I have heard of horror stories about it looking unsightly, getting infected etc. the option was to cut it out. By this time I was well worried.
I was recommended a vet practice called Emerald vets in a place called Tumble in Carmarthenshire. To my relief the vet said its a 10min job and after he checks that he has come round properly he can be back in your arms within half an hour and go home. There were 3 other Bulldogs in the surgery waiting for the same procedure!!! Which goes to show how good a reputation they have got. One couple were from Birmingham.
All in all with the waiting time to be seen (which was pleasant as we were talking to the other Bulldog owners), we were there 40 minutes. His eye was red for a couple of days and we put drops in for 2 days but it quickly whitened again. Three weeks on Reggie eye is fab we have no problems and it's not too dry either. I don't have the worry of it coming back (only the other eye now). I would highly recommend this vet for anyone in the Wales area or those that may want to travel!
