My dog has a growth on her eyelid. Is it just a stye or something worse?

[]

Answer

Any growth on an animal's eyelid should be evaluated by a veterinarian, especially if it's new, rapidly growing, irritating your dog's eye, or causing discharge. While some eyelid growths can be benign masses like meibomian cysts (similar to styes), others can be cancerous and require surgical removal. Untreated, even benign growths can rub against the cornea, leading to discomfort, ulcers, and vision problems. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
