Cherry eye

Hi, I have recently had an awful time with my dog having had his cherry eye operated on. He howled for two days and didn't rest until absolutely exhausted. We couldn't leave him on his own and we even had to share his bed for over a week.This took nearly three days I though he was gonna have a heart attack. He got extremely stressed with the cone and wouldn't allow us to put drops in. He began to nip us if we got the drops near him. He ended up getting an ulcer in his eye and was in even more pain. He ended up wearing his cone for a month and wasn't allowed on walks for any longer than 10 mins a day, which was awful!
His cherry eye has now returned and I really don't know what to do. I'm not sure I can put him or us through it all again. His behaviour has only just returned to how he was before the op as he became really naughty.
Would leaving his eye do any damage?
Any advice is welcome please

was the op to push the gland back into place or did they remove the third eyelid?

They cut inside the lower lid and tucked it back in then sewed it together

He could have dry eye due to the op.Mine suffers from this,has daily eye drops and is fine.Lost an eye due to an ulcer,so as you know its really important to have him checked over by a vet.Could just need some drops and that's it.If left untreated it could get way worse Fingers crossed he's ok,let us know how you get it,yeah? xx

It's definitely not dry eye his gland has come back out. Will he need it removed? I have posted a pic will it damage his eye if left?

I don't know Sue,sorry.Think only a vet can tell you that.I know you're really worried about how stressful all this is for him totally understand that.Best to have it checked at least then you'll know what you're dealing with and who knows it may not be as bad as you think,really hope so xx
