X 2, on cherry eye. See it with hounds a lot. Bloodhounds and Beagle's I see the most. Would check around on prices. Can vary quite a bit.

One of my dogs got a cherry eye at about 5 years old. After a very expensive surgery it was back 6 months later.

Yessir. Cherry Eye. It is an inherited trait, I believe. Lots of beagle lines have it. Nasty expensive. Several hundred dollars for the surgery.

Looks more like an eyelid tumor to me - sorry! You should have your vet look at it.

One of my Great Danes had cherry eye. It was not quite as puffy as this photo. My vet told me that it might subside with medication and did not suggest surgery because it may return. From what remember when I read about it, as long as it does not affect their vision it may be best to not have surgery. My girl has not had it again, but it has only been about 9 month ago. It did clear up relatively quickly with a pill he prescribed. Can't remember what it was. My vet bill was not terrible (less than $100 including the meds), but then again I'm familiar with huge bills just for their annual check up as I think they charge by the pound and I have some heavy babies.

I have a boxer/boston terrier mix and sometimes her eye will cherry. A quick fix for us is to put warm compresses on her eye several times a day. After a couple of days it goes down. So far it has never got bad enough to require surgery. You might try that first. I know I have deen lots at the vet going in for surgery but theirs are ones that dont go down or is obstructing their vision. Good luck to you.
