Hi Bridgette, I have had first hand experience with this condition in one of my own dogs.
I opted to use eye drops and not have surgery. This was very successful in my dogs case. Is this puppy you sold still young and still growing? It is my belief that as the puppy grows sometimes the skin around the eyes can be just a little loose, which can make it easier for germs and bacteria to enter under the eyelids and cause some infection, which in turn, creates swelling of the tear sack, and this is the red bulge you see exposed in the corner of the eye. Eye drops can reduce the swelling and the eye goes back to normal. But you must keep the eye moist whilst the eye drops do there job. It is possible that once the puppy has fully developed this will not reoccur. I hope this info has been of some help to you. kind regards Alison Bull ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
