My dog has a growth on her eyelid that recently started bleeding. Should I worry?

Answer
Bleeding growths, especially on the eyelid, should always be examined by a veterinarian. While not all growths are cancerous, any change in size, shape, color, or the onset of bleeding warrants prompt attention. Eyelid growths can irritate the eye, interfere with vision, and some can be malignant. Your vet will be able to assess the growth, possibly take a sample for analysis (biopsy), and discuss potential removal options if necessary. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
