The third eyelid is prominent, also known as the cherry eye of a dog. The third eyelid gland of the dog's cherry eye is increased. The subcutaneous tissue of the third eyelid gland of the dog's third eyelid gland highlights the eye surface at the inner corner of the eye. At the mildest, it is flat and light pink, and at the worst, it is dark red, like cherries hanging in the inner corner of the eye and is famous. This is also a common disease in dogs.

Generally speaking, coca and jingba are prone to this type of disease, but it is mostly found in dogs aged 3 to 12 months. It is not recommended to give eye drops to dogs. Because the eye drops bought by people and the eye drops used by dogs are quite different in terms of ingredients and amounts, using the wrong medicine can easily lead to problems. Cherry eyes are mostly caused by hypertrophy and growth of the third eyelid gland, natural underdevelopment of the tendons attached to the glandular ducts or institutional shortcomings. At the beginning of the disease, the damage to the eyes is not significant. With the development of the disease, the upper eyelid glands expand, slowly covering part of the cornea and endangering the eyes. At the same time, the increased organisms block the upper eyelid closure, and the sick dogs show restlessness. They often use their hind paws to grab the affected eyes, and long-term exposure to the outside, the glandular ducts are hematoma, swelling, and even atrophy, causing keratitis and conjunctivitis. It usually appears on one side, and occasionally occurs on both sides at the same time.

The best solution to this is to undergo surgery to remove it. This is just a minimally invasive surgery, very safe, and it is not easy to relapse later. If you don’t have surgery, you won’t feel anything if you just add eye drops.
