Bump On Dog's Eyelid
My Golden/Border Collie mix has a bump on her eyelid near the outer/upper
edge of her eye. Do dogs have tear ducts in that location? It looks like a clogged duct or some kind of infection. It does not seem to bother her but it looks like it should be a bit uncomfortable. I could not find any diagrams of dog eyelid anatomy. Any links? I made an appointment for her but it's not until next week. Anyone have any suggestions in the meantime? Thanks. |

The bump appears to be in the location of the lacrimal gland just like you said. Now I just need to find out what a lacrimal gland is. buglady take out the dog before replying |

rec.pets.dogs.health: I made an appointment for her but it's not until next week. Anyone have any suggestions in the meantime? You're seeing your vet, so no suggestions from me, just anecdotal stuff. My only experience with such growths is the tiny one on Rocky's lower eyelid. It's been there for about 5 years and hasn't grown and doesn't bother him and I won't worry about it until it does. FWIW, a friend's dog had a similar benign growth which grew quickly after being tiny for years and had to be removed. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

From what I've read (thanks to buglady's link) it sounds like it might be the lacrimal gland but so far it does not sound like "Red Eye" or "Dry Eye" so I guess that's something. The bump is about 1/8" in diameter and is near the outer corner of her eye at the top. Sometimes it looks a little bigger and sometimes a little smaller. -- --Matt. Rocky's a Dog. |

Joining in late - Oppie had a lump on an eyelid that was diagnosed (IIRC) as an infected hair follicle. It got to be about 1/4" in diameter and took a long time to go away, even with antibiotic ointment treatment. The eyelashes in the area fell out and a short strip of them never did grow back.
