One Female Puppy has developed a minor case of Cherry Eye. This is a typically cosmetic concern, and can happen with English Mastiffs more commonly than Danes. The tear duct in the eye loosens and can be visible as a red lump in the corner or the eye. It can sometimes be massaged back in and not cause further issue. However in severe cases can be surgically repaired. It should be noted that this case could have been brought on and exacerbated from use of a face halter.
