Dog Health Questions: Dog appears to have cherry eye?

Hey I rarely ask any questions that should be directed towards a vet but I am just curious. I usuallly ask questions that deal with dog training etc. My pitbull/cane corso puppy woke up this morning with what looks like Cherry eye. Anyone have or had a dog with this condition. Yesterday she was perfectly fine. This morning it popped out of nowhere. This sound familiar to anyone? We will be bringing her in in the morning to see the vet. I know theres a chance she may get it in the other eye as well.

Hey Javier! I have a Chihuahua named Angel, who 3 years ago had Cherry Eye in one of her eyes, she never got it in the other eye, thankfully. This is a picture of Angel, when she had Cherry Eye!

I knew that Cherry Eye can only be repaired through a surgical procedure, so after I noticed Angels Cherry Eye, I took her to the vet and had her Cherry Eye repaired. Since then, she has never had any problems with her eyes and the Cherry Eye never came back in neither one of her eyes. What the other poster said about Cherry Eye Surgery being Pointless is wrong, so please don't pay attention to that statement. It's easier for a dog with Cherry Eye to get a bad Infection or Injure it's eye, so the sooner you can get the Cherry Eye repaired, the better for your dogs eyes. The advice the other poster also gave you about their little Home Remedy with the Baking Soda and Water and rubbing it into the dogs eye. That's insane and you don't do that or you will cause your dog pain and you can cause your dog to go blind. Forget the home remedies because there aren't any! I would take her to the vet and have the vet take a look at her eye. The vet will give you the options you have and what steps to take next from there!

• Cherry eye is an inflammation of the third eyelid, and your dog sounds very much like she has it. While they can give drugs to reduce the inflammation and get the eylid to pop back into place, it will eventually recur, generally worse than the first time. The only permanent solution is surgery to correct it. There are a few options, depending on severity. Cherry eye surgery has minimal recovery time and is generally not extremely expensive (depending on the type of surgery).


• If you bring her to the vet, they might make you pay a lot for a little almost pointless surgery.
  My Cocker Spaniel had cherry eye and it just came out of no where.
  It looked nasty D;
  My Mom rinsed her finger in water, dipped it in baking soda and lightly put some of the baking soda on the cherry eye thing...
  My dog rubbed her eyes for a little, but after a couple minutes it went away.
  
  Edit:
  Jeez. I can't believe I'm getting thumbs down...
  You people haven't even tried this to see if it works.
  It actually worked on my dog... I don't know how I'm suppose to prove this. D:
  My dog never had cherry eye again...
