disappointedSo Hog had to go to the vet yet again... This time to the emergency vet. Hog's eyeball looked like this:
We were hoping it was just dirt or something in his eye. But no, it is Cherry Eye. Here is an explanation on what it is: Cherry Eye in the dog is a picturesque term for Everted Third Eyelid. The Third Eyelid is also known as the Nictitating Membrane. It serves as added protection for the eye through an interesting ability to close upward and over the dog's eyeball. The canine is able to retract the entire eyeball backward into the eye socket, and coupled with this retraction is the Third Eyelid's ability to slide up and over the retracted globe.
While examining him it went away! She said she was sure it would come back out. But for the meantime we have eye drops. You have to have surgery when this happens :( Poor little guy. So we are all hoping it just never pops out ever again
!
Hog has such gorgeous eyes too
Has this ever happened to any of you guys? It is common in Bostons & Pugs
