I have a young puppy who has developed a small cherry eye condition, and I'm wondering if there is anything I can do about it? Its not real bad and not blocking her vision, and I'm pretty sure its a genetic thing since her dad had it. Are there any remedies besides surgery? She is too young for surgery at this point. Do they outgrow the condtion?
Or is this a wait and see situation? I am planning on re-homing her, but I dont think anyone will want her since she has a 'defect' that 'might' need surgery later in life.
In case you dont know what cherry eye is, its a condition where in the inner corner of the animals eye, the tissue starts to pop out of the inner corner pocket and protrude out and over the eye.
Is there anything I can do before going to the vet and handing out the big $'s?
Does it cost alot to have it repaired if that is what she needs?
