Based on the clinical signs, the diagnosis was a prolaps of the nictitating membrane or “Cherry Eye” with a fausta prognosis. The treatment was a surgery using the Morgan Pocket method to maintain the mobility of the nictitating membrane and lymphoid tissue.

Five days after the surgery and treatment, the dog's eyes had improved, and there was no lump observable.
