Lumps or growths on a dog's eyelid are common, especially in older dogs. Many are benign, such as meibomian gland adenomas, but some can be malignant like a mast cell tumor or melanoma. Even benign growths can cause irritation, rub on the cornea, leading to ulcers, or obstruct vision. It's important to have any new or growing lump evaluated by a veterinarian. They may recommend surgical removal and biopsy to determine its nature and prevent future problems. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
