Growths on a dog's eyelid, often referred to as eyelid tumors, are quite common, especially in older dogs. While many are benign, like meibomian adenomas, some can be malignant (cancerous) or cause irritation to the eye due to their location, leading to rubbing, scratching, or corneal ulcers. It's crucial to have any eyelid growth examined by a veterinarian. They can determine if it's benign or cancerous and advise on the best course of action. Small growths are often easily removed with minor surgery, which can prevent them from growing larger, becoming more problematic, or if malignant, spreading.
