sheepdog 10 Report post Posted February 20, 2010 Yes, they can have some eye problems too, I just didn't want to scare you too bad right off, lol. They can get cherry eye and general eye infections, however, their eyes are tighter fitting in the eye socket, and so they are not quite as bad as cocker spaniels can be. Cherry eye is an infection in one of the tear glands, the gland becomes impacted, and infected, and swells out into a big red nasty looking lump from the tissue around the eye. It looks bad, but can be corrected. They sometimes respond to antibiotic drops in the eye, but in some cases they are snipped out. Only problem with the surgery is that the dog may get dry eye, which is then a life long problem with keeping eye drops in the eye. Generally they are ok though. I used to raise Bulldogs and Neapolitian Mastiffs, so I've seen a few of them. Human eye wash, saline solution, is fine to use on dogs, if you see matter starting to form around they eyes. Keeping the goo wiped away usually heads off any problems. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
