Dial A Vet · Accepted Answer

Growths on eyelids, especially in older dogs, are quite common. While many are benign, such as meibomian cysts or adenomas, some can be malignant like mast cell tumors or squamous cell carcinomas. It's impossible to tell definitively without a proper examination and potentially a biopsy. Any growth that changes in size, shape, color, causes irritation to the eye, or interferes with vision should be evaluated by a veterinarian. Early detection and removal, if necessary, often lead to the best outcomes. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
