Cherry eye operation in dog
A case come to our clinic on 7/12/25 , with bilateral cherry eye , Our vets Dr. Newton Bala and Dr Rabiul Islam operate it successfully.
Cherry eye operation in a dog is a surgical treatment to reposition and permanently secure the pr*****ed third eyelid gland (not remove it). This surgery is important because the gland produces 30–40% of the tear film, and removing it can cause dry eye (KCS) later in life.

✅ Why Surgery Is Necessary

Cherry eye will not permanently heal with medicine alone

Risk of:

Chronic conjunctivitis

Corneal ulcers

Dry eye (KCS)

Vision problems

Early surgery = better success rate

🐶 Types of Cherry Eye Surgery

1️⃣ Morgan “Pocket” Technique ✅ (MOST COMMON & SAFEST)

Gland is tucked into a pocket and stitched

Tear production is preserved

Success rate: 85–95%

Preferred in Our clinic

2️⃣ Orbital Anchoring Technique

Gland is stitched to orbital tissue

Used in recurrent cases

❌ Gland Removal (NOT RECOMMENDED)

Causes permanent dry eye

Should be avoided except for tumors or dead gland

🏥 Anaesthesia & Surgery Time

General anesthesia required

Surgery time: 20–30 minutes per eye

Dog goes home the same day

💊 Post-Operative Care

E-collar (cone) for 10–14 days

Eye drops:

Antibiotic + Steroid drops (as prescribed)

Lubricating drops

Oral antibiotics & painkillers for 5–7 days

Avoid:

Dust

Running

Scratching

👁️ Bilateral Cherry Eye

If both eyes are affected, surgery is done:

Either same day

Or 2–3 weeks apart

❗ Important Advice

✅ Always choose gland replacement, NOT removal
✅ Early surgery prevents permanent eye damage
✅ Flat-faced breeds (Pug, Bulldog, Shih Tzu) have higher recurrence risk
