Cherry eye?

We think our little lily girl may have cherry eye :( she doesn't seem to be in pain, but her inner eyelid is swollen-but not red. It also could be from playing with her sister, bc they play very roughly.

Any experiences? I hate making her go through surgery, and read that sometimes massaging the gland back into place can work.

eta:

she also had her 2nd round of shots yesterday...

Re: Cherry eye?

I'm no help here...yet. Hwever, my shih-tzu on Saturday woke up with a tiny ball in the corner of his eye. I'm thinking pink eye or cyst. I'm going to call the vet today and take it from there.

Dh actually did some research online, and found that sometimes it could be popped back in by massaging the eyelid-and it worked!!

Re: Cherry eye?

My previous dog had cherry eyes and he needed to have an operation to have them replaced to where they are supposed to be when he was about 8 months old. I am glad your dog's went back with some manual manipulation, but there is a good possibility that is a temporary fix although I hope it isn't!
