🎉 Happy Birthday to Dr. Ann Bosiack! 🎉

Owner. Visionary. Teacher. Leader. Friend. Sister.
And without question, the best veterinary ophthalmologist in town 🐾👁️

Dr. Bosiack goes above and beyond in every role she holds—pouring her heart into her patients, uplifting her staff, caring deeply for her family, and showing up for our community in ways that don’t always get seen, but are always felt.

Her dedication, compassion, and brilliance set the standard, and we are endlessly grateful to learn from her, work beside her, and call her ours at Veterinary Vision Specialists.

Today we celebrate all that she is and wish her the best year yet—one filled with love, joy, appreciation, and everything she so selflessly gives to others.
She deserves it all 🤍✨

Cherry eye is a condition where the third eyelid gland (also called the nictitating membrane gland) prolapses—meaning it slips out of its normal position and becomes visible as a red or pink bulge in the inner corner of the eye.

What’s actually happening?

Dogs (and some cats) have a third eyelid that contains a tear-producing gland. This gland is normally held in place by connective tissue. When that tissue weakens, the gland pops out and looks like a little cherry, which is where the name comes from 🍒.

Common signs
• Red, swollen mass in the inner corner of the eye
• Tearing or discharge
• Eye irritation or rubbing
• Sometimes affects one eye, but can become both

Why it matters

That gland produces up to 40% of the eye’s tears.
If it’s removed or damaged, pets are at higher risk for chronic dry eye (keratoconjunctivitis sicca) later in life.

Which pets are prone?

More common in:
• Bulldogs
• French Bulldogs
• Cocker Spaniels
• Beagles
• Shih Tzus
Usually seen in young dogs, but it can happen at any age.

Treatment
• Surgery is usually recommended, but the goal is to reposition and save the gland, not remove it
• Medications alone rarely fix it long-term
• Early treatment = better outcomes

Is it an emergency?

Not typically an emergency, but it shouldn’t be ignored. The longer it’s out, the more inflamed and damaged the gland can become.

Sweet Piper the Yorkie came to Veterinary Vision Specialists here in Richmond, Virginia, and instantly stole all of our hearts. 💕
She was diagnosed with a fairly deep corneal ulcer—shown in the first clip—followed by her post-op glow with a graft placed to protect and heal her eye.

And can we talk about her custom crutches sweater her mom made for her?! 🥹🧶
We loved every second of snuggling this angel and can’t wait to share her healing journey with you.

Follow along to see how Piper continues to heal ❤️‍🩹✨
