Ruki had her cherry eye 2 weeks after we got her, when she was 3 months. We waited for two weeks before we worked with our breeder to fix it. That was 2 weeks ago. And the other eye had not popped out.
My theory is that Ruki was mucking around in some dirt and then got "boxed" pretty hard by a particularly "fiesty" Boston terrier in the area. I remember vividly seeing the paw knock Ruki right in the eye.
So, all in all, 4 weeks and no other cherry eye!
As for the fixed eye, the flesh under the eyelid *does* look a little redder than the other one; and she still has daily "gunkies" (for lack of a better word), mucous, I suppose, that we clean out with saline. We're going to keep up with the antibiotic eyedrops, and if her eye's still gunky after another week, we'll consider taking her in to the vet--and after our insurance kicks in. :)
