Cherry Eye in the English Bulldog

Cherry Eye is one of the most common eye problems in the English Bulldog.You primarily see it in young English Bulldog puppies (less than 8wks of age). It happens when the tear gland located on the inside corner of a bulldogs third eyelid pops up. When you see one, it appears like a red cherry growth on the inside corner of the eye. It appears that it would be painful, and is not pleasant to look at. Actually the Cherry Eye rarely causes any pain or discomfort, but with prolonged exposure to air the gland can become inflamed and infected. You primarily see it in young English Bulldog puppies (less than 8wks); most times the Cherry Eye will need to be surgically corrected.
Cherry Eyes can happen to your English Bulldog or English bulldog puppy due to trauma to the eye or head.An example of this would be a puppy run into your leg as you are walking, He is running full blast at you and hits your leg as it is in the upward stroke. We have also seen it occur in adult bulldogs when having an allergic reaction to something inhaled (i.e. fertilizer, or harsh cleaning agent, pollen at certain times of the year). When a cherry eye pops out in an older bulldog, or with trauma, it is more likely to be put back in place, and remain without surgery.

Treatment for the Cherry eye is to apply a eye lubricant like Terramycin or Puralube. You will stabilize your pets head, close his eye and massage the gland back into place. We also recommend an antihistamine such as benadryl. Massaging the gland may have to be repeated several times a day. If the Cherry eye is due to trauma or an allergy, normally the gland will go back down and not have to be surgically corrected/removed. ALWAYS consult your vet he can show you how to apply the lubricant and can give you a antibiotic lubricant to apply also.

Research Report of Chinese Oxalic Acid Industry, 2009

Oxalic acid is an important basic organic raw material, mainly used to produce the pharmaceuticals, such as antibiotics, borneol, pharmaceutical intermediate synthesis, the precipitant extracts in the rare earth metals, dye deoxidizer, tanning agents and cleansing agents of the metal equipments etc. with the application expansion of the oxalate in the pharmaceutical and pesticide synthesis, the demands for the oxalate were steadily increased over the previous years. At present, the demands volumes of the oxalate in the world are about 400 thousand tons. In 2008, the yields of the oxalic acid in China exceeded 200 thousand tons and the export volumes were around 50 thousand tons.

The traditional industrialization production methods of the oxalic acid mainly concluded sodium formate process, oxidation process, oxo process, glycol oxidation process, propylene oxidation process and carbon monoxide coupling process etc. At present, the manufacturing process of the oxalic acid is through the coal chemical route and the costs are low. The major mechanism lies in the later period, which hydrolyzes parts of the intermediate products dibutyl oxalate and generates oxalic acid and methanol. The methanol can be further used to produce nitrous acid methyl ester, which is used to produce dimethyl oxalate so as to achieve the goals of cyclic utilization. During the coupling process, when producing 1-ton glycol, 2-ton oxalic acid has been produced at the same time.

Oxalic acid is mainly used to produce the tetracycline, aureomycin and terramycin etc. in the pharmaceutical industry. The development of these pharmaceutical products largely depends on the export tendency. With the development of Chinese pharmaceutical industry, it is predicted that the demands for the oxalic acid in Chinese pharmaceutical industry will be increased gradually.
