I think Hank has a cherry eye

I seen it saturday night...gave him a benadryl thinking he got a bite or something did work.so yesterday it looks bigger and its not his eyeball at all..The first thing I though of was cherry eye.Surfed around on the internet to see what it looks like.well yes and no but here is a picture of hank the best shot I could get with his eye...Off to the vets today oh lordy why me!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH OH and no I was not choking him trying to get the picture LOL it looks like it but really I wasnt...thanks for any idea till the vet opens up

here is another picture.

I don't know anything about it, just wanted to send my good wishes for Hank's vet appt. Please keep us posted.

It actually doesn't look like cherry eye to me, but I'm not a vet, so who knows? lol

Take him in. Let them look. Eyes are nothing to mess around with!

He goes in at noon. Fingers crossed it is an easy fix.

I hope it isn't but has doubled in size since Saturday

Let us know how it goes! It doesn't look like the cherry eye my cocker had, but hers is the only one I've ever seen.

My bet is for an infected duct or something like that. Cherry eye is MUCH more obvious. But I'm no vet either! Hope all is okay!

Major prayers for a good dogtor report. Please keep us posted!

It doesn't look like a cherry eye to me. I'm thinking it could be an infected eye lash follicle,or duct like Rona mentioned. Or maybe an eyelash is irritating an inner lid? It reminds me of a stye.



I hope it's nothing serious. Please let us know how Hank is after his vet visit

I agree, likely not a cherry eye (we see a fair number of them at the shelter). They don't seem to come on suddenly like that, either.

Good for you for hustling off to the vet! Eyes are so important.

No cherry eye.....the vet said it could of been a bug bite or maybe a stye.She stained his eye and no scratches. So she gave him some eye drop meds and said he should be fine..thank you all for you thought.All I was thinking was $$$$$$$$$.oh the bad new he is 28 lbs at 7 months and said he at max should be 25 lbs.She said yes he is going to be a big boy but overweight right now.so I guess the 2 cups a day is to much...LOL I have never had a dog that was over 20lbs..now I do.She said when you cant see the waist line that means cut back..so all in all good news and under $100 for I am happy..

Very good news, DeeAnn. Please give chunky Hank a big hug, and then give yourself a big hug, and then give your wallet a big hug.
