hi my bulldog has got cherry eye and i have seen that vid on youtube to show how you can pop it back in place which i have tryed and it does go back but as soon as i let it go it comes back out and wont stay there, i will be takin him to the vets but just wanted to no if he has to be a certain age before they do anything as he is only 10weeks old. it dont bother him at all eigther.

I've no advice but I wonder how many people done what I did and went off to youtube to look, I had visions of an eyeball lying on your dogs cheek and being put back in with a spoon :-D

Hi i would leave well alone untill the vet has looked at it. you may accidently scratch or infect the eye.
if the cherry eye is not irritating the dog and is leaving it alone they may want to leave alone until the dog is older and shape of the skull and eye is grown into a more mature shape.
there are options such as popping back in and suturing then removal of suture and hope that it stays, some do some dont, or removal of the prolapsed duct which sometimes leads to dry eye.
personally i would leave well alone until older and then try putting back in and hope it stays before removal. but really i would wait until the vet has a look and see what they say.
