My dog has a growth on his eyelid. Should I be worried?

[]

Answer

Growths on eyelids are relatively common in dogs and can vary. They might be benign (like a meibomian cyst) or cancerous. Even benign growths can cause irritation to the eye if they rub against the cornea, potentially leading to ulcers or discomfort. It's always best to have any new growth examined by a veterinarian. They can determine if it needs removal and can also perform a biopsy if there's any concern about malignancy. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
