Styes (?) On Eyelid

[KateAndDuke]

Hi all,

Duke has developed some pimple-like things around his eyelids. Has anyone come across that before with their dogs? They look a bit like styes, but they have only come up in the last couple of days, which seems a bit quick for styes. I could be wrong. Here are some not-so-great photos to give you an idea (look closely on the edge of his eyelid).

Anyone know what this is? Is it actually worth a vet visit?

Allergic reaction? Mozzie bite reaction?

Dogs have glands along the eyelid edge that provide part of the tear film. These can become impacted +/- infected. However in young dogs I would also be suspicious of blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids) preventing drainage (it is hard to see in the photos). This will need treatment from the vet however you could try warm compresses and see if that helps.
