Cherry Eye Surgery In Redmond
Redmond Families: What To Know About Cherry Eye
Cherry eye looks dramatic yet is very treatable. Here is a concise overview for Redmond dog owners on why it happens, how to recognize early changes, and when a repair is recommended.
How It Starts
The supporting tissues that anchor the third eyelid gland can be looser by nature. As a result the gland moves outward and forms a red bulge. The process is structural and usually not due to injury.
- More common in certain breeds
- Often appears in the first years of life
- One eye can be followed by the other
- Untreated exposure can irritate the surface
Early Patterns
Brief redness and discharge often precede a full prolapse. Tracking these changes helps shape the care plan.
- Red inner corner that varies through the day
- Tearing or mucus strands
- Intermittent squinting or pawing
- Repeat conjunctivitis episodes
Recommended Repair
A surgical repair is needed to keep the gland in its normal position. Our method protects tear function and supports long term comfort.
What To Expect
Most patients go home the same day. Care includes an e collar, eye drops, and a recheck exam. We review home care steps so healing is smooth and comfortable.
