My girls eye has a bump on it! It's the weekend and the vet is closed. Any idea what it could be? I'm afraid it's cherry eye.

I don’t have personal experience with cherry eye but I have seen it in several dogs before. It usually looks redder but I suppose this could be how it starts. I wonder if it could be the third eyelid.

If it is cherry eye, I know sometimes it could be massaged back in.

You can try doing a search for cherry eye on here to see what others have done and if there are photos to compare to.

Update: It went away. Think goodness! My husband checked on her and he said it was gone. I went to look and sure enough her eye was back to normal. I have no clue what it was.

Excellent! Could have been an irritated third eyelid.

I recently took out pet insurance on her. She will eat anything and I heard french bulldogs are prone to cherry eye. I felt it was a good idea 💡

yes, if it is cherry eye, it can come and go based on irritants and excitement.

My little six month old Frenchie puppy had very similar. It came on overnight. I massaged it back into place and it’s been a week now and not returned. I too was baffled, but read these breeds are prone to cherry eye
