By Dr. Mafalda Sardinha
A fleshy, red bulge in the corner of your pet's eye can look alarming, but cherry eye is a well-understood, treatable condition.
In this video, Dr. Mafalda Sardinha explains what causes it and when surgery might be needed.
Key Takeaways from Dr. Mafalda:
- What It Is: A prolapse of the third eyelid gland, appearing as a lump or red lesion.
- Often Painless, But Not Harmless: Left untreated, it can lead to more serious eye issues.
