Hi I have had one case of Cherry eye. I use a warm damp cloth and covered the eye for about one hour three times a day. I pushed the "cherry" back into position and then applied Polysporin eye and ear drops. This case was quite bad as my vet wanted to operate and insisted that we just keep pushing it back until the pup was six months.
It took a few days of this TLC - the "cherry" slowly got smaller. My vet had also noted a spot on the cornea at the time she diagnosed the Cherry Eye. When I took the dog back the spot on the cornea had disappeared and the Cherry eye was gone. The pup received an eye clearance (Normal) at one year old or there abouts. I am told that the operation can cause dry eye which I have never seen. There are full instructions on the CKCS Club of Canada website. Follow them and I am sure they will work.
