My puppy has a noticeable swelling on her eyelid. Should I see a vet?

Question

I have a 5 month old German Shepherd pup that has a small swelling on her eyelid. Doesn’t seem to be annoying her but it is getting more noticeable. Should I take her to a vet. Thanks. Pet's info: Dog | German Shepherd | Female | unspayed | 5 months old | 49 lbs

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Lola is adorable! I would schedule an appointment when your Vet opens Monday, I don't think it is an emergency. You can start warm compressing it to see if that helps. It could be a stye or an infected gland in the eye lid and a very small chance it could be demodex. I hope this helps and I wish Lola a speedy recovery!
