Small bump on outer eye? Hello everyone..just had a quick question regarding my yorkie's eye. I recently noticed she has a small bump on the top, outer corner of her left eye. It is small & brown with a darker center. I just noticed it a few days ago & have been keeping an eye on it since - it has not gotten any bigger or changed color, ect. She does not seem irritated by it and even allowed me to run a finger over it when I first noticed it (no squirming & did not seem to be in pain). She is 11 months old, has a healthy appetite, exercises regularly, plenty of energy. I read some information and am now wondering if it could be a blocked hair follicle? Just wondering if anyone else has any experience with an eye issue like this. I will be making a veterinary appointment for next week, but would like to hear any experience, input, or information anyone may be willing to share. Thanks so much! |
Welcome to YT. :) Maximo had something similar, a bump on his upper eyelid. I put warm compresses on it and it started to develop a head, like a pimple. I very, very, very carefully squeezed it and a bunch of stuff came out of it. Please don't try this unless you and your pup work well together, and don't over-squeeze. If nothing comes out of it easily, don't keep squeezing. It wouldn't hurt to keep doing warm compresses until the bump resolves on its own. Maximo's took about 10 day to completely go away. I think his was a stye or infected follicle. If there are any changes in size or discoloration, or if the lid swells, or your pup shows any discomfort, see your vet immediately. |
One more thing to consider because of the coloring of your pup's bump: be sure it isn't a small tick. They are active even in the cold. |
Thanks for the reply! I will try the hot compress. |
