Abstract:
Prolapsed nictitans gland (“cherry eye”, PNG) of dogs is an ailment commonly encountered by veterinarians and we encountered one such case of a Female Bull Dog having age 10 months, weighing about 22.2 kg presented to the Teaching Veterinary Clinical Complex (TVCC) with the condition of unilateral Cherry Eye affected from 2 months and using Morgan’s pocketing technique the condition was corrected surgically under general anaesthesia. Post-operative treatment included instillation with ophthalmic preparation of Gentamicin and Ciprofloxacin. The dog recovered uneventfully and the dog did not show recurrence of cherry eye thereafter.
