   Eyelid Protrusion ('Cherry Eye') in Dogs Print
Treatment
Treatment often includes surgical replacement of the gland in the dog's eye, or removal of the entire gland if the condition is severe. Conversely, if medications are recommended, they are typically topical anti-inflammatory drugs that are effective in reducing swelling.
Living and Management
It is important to prevent the gland from developing into a prolapse -- thus falling out of its proper place in the eye -- and reduce the recurrence of the disease.
Prevention
There are currently no known preventative measures for this medical condition.
