Question
My 6mth old boston had his gland tucked(cherry eye). It has been 4wks now. Although the gland is still in it's proper place, his third eyelid remains red and swollen. My vet says its fine he is just healing slow. What is the max healing time for such surgery and should I get a second opinion?

Answer
Hi allison: If you feel uncomfortable with your vet, then get a second opinion on the status of your Boston's healing.
It can't hurt to get another Vet's opinion... Right?

Here is a link about Cherry Eye surgery. It talks about only 90% of the operations are effective, the first time around.

Best Wishes and Let me know how he is doing in 30 days.
