"Cherry-Eye" Correction in the Dog


‎”CHERRY-EYE” … THIS IS THE PROLAPSE OF THE GLAND OF THE THIRD EYELID. THE RECOMMENDED TREATMENT IS TO SURGICALLY CREATE A “POCKET” AND REPLACE THE GLAND BELOW THE SURFACE OF THE CONJUNCTIVAL MEMBRANES. FAILURE TO CORRECT THE PROLAPSE OR SURGICAL RESECTION OF THE PROLAPSED GLAND HAVE BOTH BEEN SHOWN TO RESULT IN AN INCREASED INCIDENCE OF KERATO-CONJUNCTIVITIS SICCA (KCS) OTHERWISE KNOWN AS “DRY-EYE”.

See how the correction is done using the Morgan Pocket technique via the kindly  posted link
