gryhndsr4us Posted June 13, 2009 Share Posted June 13, 2009 Gypsy has a Vet appointment for Wednesday to have her eye looked at. I was wondering if anyone here has run into something like this? Any idea what it could be? My little girl will be 12 next month.

Guest argolola Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Lola had a little growth removed from her eyelid 2 years ago. She was rubbing it and making it bleed. It was benign. Prayers for your little sweetie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Energy11 Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 I haven't seen this, but it looks like something benign... Keep us posted, and we will keep you in our prayers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BiancasMom Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 Could be a meibomian gland cyst. They are benign but can be quite irritating which in turn can cause the dog to self inflict corneal ulcers. I don't know of any cancers that usually arise in that area. Good luck!

gryhndsr4us Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 Thank you for your responses. So far it doesn't seem to irritate her, no extra rubbing(she has always liked to rub her face on things).

joejoesmom Posted June 14, 2009 Share Posted June 14, 2009 My Shelby has a lump that looks just like that. It is a cyst. She developed it just before she turned 12. It doesn't seem to bother her so the decision was made not to put her under anesthesia to remove it. They did give her a little sedation so that they could take a closer look (maybe a needle aspiration?) to confirm that it was in fact a cyst. The removed as much of the material inside the cyst with the needle as they could. It stayed deflated for a few months, but slowly got bigger again. Since it doesn't bother her, we are just watching it. If she starts to bother it, I will take her in to have it "deflated" again. Really not a big deal. I hope yours turns out to be the same.

Guest kydie Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 looks like a cyst, a plugged hair follicle, if it is red a swollen, maybe a bee sting, doesn't look to scary, good luck to your lady Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
