Hi,
Check out these pic Bongo has always had this much pink showing in the corner of his eyes. Shows more when he looks up or up and to the left or right. Nothing popping out like I've seen it pics of dogs with cherry eye. What do you guys think?
It's the skin that does protrude when they get cherry eye :-/ it's the third eyelid and the fact that you can see it doesn't necessarily mean it's bad he may go his whole life with out ever getting one!!! Unfortunately I know all about this third eyelid we had to have all the excess of our girls removed because shed get 4-5 cherry eyes per day!!!!!! But knock on wood since she had her surgery she hasn't had a single one :D!!!!!! If he does ever start to get them I'd suggest having it tightened ASAP we weighed the pros n cons of stitching vs removal n removal is so much better her eyes r perkier n she doesn't have dry eye like some vets will warn u about although some bullies naturally have dry eyes !!!!!!
The redness may just be allergies, or irritation. How old is Bongo? My female Blossom, got cherry eye at 5 months in her right eye, and we fixed it at the same time as her spay surgery at 7 months, then the left eye came out at 8 months old, and we just fixed it a week ago. She had pink eyes prior to getting cherry eye, but she also has allergies / sensitivities to chicken, corn or fillers? We changed her food 4 times since we got her in June, and am feeding her Fromms Beef Fritata, and she is doing much better. Her eyes are still pink and teary sometimes, but the vet says this is normal after cherry eye surgery, and she still has cream and drops for her eye, so should get better with time. I don't know if the redness was caused by the food sensitivities, or the cherry eye? Or visa versa. Just keep an eye on it , and see what develops. Good luck
