Growths on eyelids are relatively common in dogs, especially as they get older. While many are benign, such as meibomian cysts or adenomas, some can be malignant like melanoma or squamous cell carcinoma. Even benign growths can become problematic if they rub against the eye, causing irritation, ulcers, or affecting vision. It's crucial to have any new growth examined by your veterinarian. They may recommend surgical removal and biopsy to determine its nature and prevent future complications.
