Bumps along dog's right eyelid
by Danielle
(Long Island, New York)
My dog has developed a few little bumps along her right eyelid. She is not scratching at them, or particularly concerned about them at all. They don't seem to be bothering her unless we hold her head still and try to look at them....and that is more likely annoyance at being held still.
They look like what we humans call a stye on our eyelid. They are a little sensitive to touch - she pulls away if you touch them.
The largest one is at the inner corner of her right eye. There is another that is almost gone above that, and a new one just came up yesterday which is along the bottom eyelid of the right eye.
They do not appear to have any pus in them - they are dry and not scaly that I can tell. Being a puppy, she refuses to be still enough for me to really inspect carefully - as you can tell from the pictures.
I want to find out if I should be worried about these bumps and if they require a trip to the vet.
She is a one year old Australian shephard/border collie mix breed. She was adopted from a shelter at 9 weeks old, so we don't know for sure what she is!
