Abstract

The study was conducted on sixteen (16) eyes of ten (10) dogs suffering from protrusion of gland of third eyelid (Cherry eye). The condition was managed either by excision of gland or by its replacement by conjunctival pocket technique or by anchoring to the orbital periosteum. One of the dogs treated by excision developed keratoconjunctivitis sicca, whereas the third eye lid got fixed with restricted movement in a dog treated by anchoring technique.
