persephona Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 How does it look on the inside of the eyelid? Is it swollen at all in there? I don't think you need to be too worried unless it starts itching, bothering him in any way or becoming swollen on the inside of the eyelid (in which case it could irritate the cornea), but I'd still ask a vet. Maybe it's this thing? http://www.doggedhealth.com/diseases-a-symptoms/diseases-a-conditions/chalazion.html Or a stye? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabien&Abs Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Our Sabes has got one on his right eye. It hasn't grown and it doesn't bother him and vet has just left it. Think it's due to his age. Bings should be ok, just keep an eye on it, that's all we do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebe03 Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Polee had one on the outside corner of her left eye at camp which went within a day or so and didn't bother her. On Monday I took her to the vets as she got a small lump in the outside corner of her right eye which was a little bigger but again didn't bother her. Vet prescribed meds and eye drops and it's now practically gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BingBlaze n Skyla Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 thanks - will keep an eye on it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissu & Aara Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 My moms dog Trinity had that. Turned out to be a benign tumor. The surgery he had for it was really simple. About 6 months time my mom noticed it grew. The first vet she took him to said to just watch for growth. So yeah, just keep an eye on it as you said. Keep taking pictures maybe once a week or once every other week to compare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charley Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Looks like either a stye (if dogs can get them) or a fatty lump. Doesn't look like anything too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mazz Posted October 23, 2011 Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 Had a Westie that had something similar. It was a skin tag and we had it removed. Elke, our first Husky also got something similar in her later years. They were sort of like styes or pimples and would eventually "pop".

BingBlaze n Skyla Posted October 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2011 im guessing its really nothing to worry about then unless it starts to become a problem for him? its good to know - being old just makes me worry constantly about him lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
