Hello I just noticed now that my Walter has weird red stuff in his eye. Theres seem to be some bite on his eye and then under is some red kind of cherry looking stuff. I dont know where he got this from and I dont know how to react to this. Hes acting very normal about everything. Please see my photos and please let me know if you have experienced this

That looks like a 3rd eyelid prolapse(cherry eye) to me. It's small and can probably be massaged right back in place. If not sure how to do it, have your Vet show you. If you can get it back in whenever it pops out you may never need surgery. Most of the time it will pop when the blood pressure gets high from hard play sessions.

i agree with Chip.... beginning of a third eyelid issue.

Not necessary cherry eye, cherry eye is prolapse of a tear gland mostly, but what you see is very similar. His eyes are very red and irritated, and the lining called conjunctiva is swollen and sticking out. It is just prolapsed conjunctiva tissue. You need to find out and address the cause of redness and swelling - it can be allergy, food or environmental, or it can be infection, viral or bacterial. The discharge is not green, so it points more in the direction of allergy. Eye drops with antibiotic and steroid may help, if you have by any chance them at home, something like TOBRADEX. But it will be just temporary symptoms relief. It’s better to visit a vet and show him eyes and discuss what to do.

thank you you're the best. I was giving him zesty paws vitamins when this happened. When I stopped giving him that, this eye problem stopped. And vet prescribed eye drops w antibiotic ! And it's been gone ever since! Thank you!! will look up tobradex too for future purposes!
