It's a tear gland and sometimes with this breed the ligaments aren't strong enough to hold it in place. There are drops that might help some of the inflammation and sometimes it will pop back in place but usually surgery is your best option. Honestly, 500 is probably about what you'll pay for a good surgeon... Some places will remove the gland for cheaper. Not a good idea as it is responsible for about 30% of the tears and can cause problems with dry eye if removed.. Usually if it does recur (which can happen) they'll do it at a much cheaper rate for you if you go to the same place... Maybe this helps some.. I actually work in animal ophthalmology so I see this all the time. =)Perfectly Imperfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128584550959614381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951863818168996208.post-17707312002796626312009-08-29T20:30:14.013-04:002009-08-29T20:30:14.013-04:00Those are cute pics of Scout!

My chihuahua had a somewhat similar condition with his eyes that required surgery that might need to be done multiple times, but we were able to find something to help instead of surgery. Check the internet (I'm sure you probably have though) for things you can do other than surgery. We found that Vasaline eye drops work great on my chihuahua for his condition. Good Luck and I hope your furbaby gets better soon!

Hopefully that will happen with your baby! I know what you mean about surgeries with dogs. My parents had a greyhound who shattered his leg 15 years ago and when all was said and done they spend $15,000 on him because of a ton of complications. Once he was completely cured he was already 12 and died 6 months later of spleen cancer. My parents say that they didnt regret a dollar because he had 6 extra months that they wouldnt have had if they put him to sleep (they would never). Dogs are totally a labor of love, but I think they are worth every penny!!Belle- Pink Cupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08950857427175536999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951863818168996208.post-24277098279719234982009-08-28T15:20:47.749-04:002009-08-28T15:20:47.749-04:00We both posted about our dogs today!
