Œil de Cerise (Prolapsed Third Eyelid Gland) in Dogs
A red, swollen mass in the corner of your dog's eye is likely cherry eye. Surgical replacement preserves tear production and prevents dry eye.
Cherry eye is the common name for prolapse of the nictitans gland — the tear-producing gland normally hidden behind the third eyelid. When the ligament holding it in place weakens, the gland pops out and becomes visible as a red, cherry-like mass in the inner corner of the eye.
