Cherry eye (Prolapsed gland of nictitans)
To remove the
gland
(all that the vet does is put the pup/dog to sleep then clamps a mosquito
hemostat on the tear gland and cuts it off, puts medication in the eye,
when the animal awakes it can be sent home with eye drops or salve) not
very traumatic for the pup or it's caretaker ( but this procedure can lead
to dry eye , immobility of the orb , and changes in pigmentation )
But there is a better way click

below is the roan puppy about a week after removal
