Lump On Dog's Eyelid

[Zelahi]

I've booked my dog Marlow into the vet for a couple days time but I can't stop thinking about what this lump could be, anyone able to give some insight? I had a quick internet search and I guess it sort of looks like a Meibomian tumour. He is only 2 years old and it's only come up in the last two weeks, hasn't got much bigger in the last week.

Looks like a sebaceous cyst. I would leave it alone unless it is biopsied as a nasty, in which case please do not let a regular vet remove it, see an eye specialist.

can't really see it - but dogs do get follicular /glandular cysts and things which often resolve all by themselves :)

Probably just a cyst or blocked meibomian gland. Don't panic. :)

Miah had one of those gland ones and it unblocked by itself.

I remember Joey had 2 little cysts one had to be removed, not because it was nasty just that if it got bigger it could have affected his vision . The other didn't need removing as it was in a spot that wouldn't have affected him. They said if we wanted it removed, down the track, they would of. There is a past post about it in here.
