Cherry Eye Or Prolapsed Tear Gland

A cherry eye is the prolapse of the tear gland within the third eyelid. Unlike humans who have 2 eyelids, dogs and cats have 3. The third one appears from the inner corner of the eye and covers the eye diagonally. This third eyelid contains a gland, the lacrimal gland that produces 30% of the total tears to help lubricate the eye and keep it healthy. When the gland becomes loose, it protrudes from the eyelid and is referred to as a cherry eye.
