My puppy has a painless lump on his eyelid. What could it be?

Question

Hello, I have a Siberian Husky mixed with German Shepard, I got him at 1month and half, he soon will be 3 months, and I've just noticed a very small lump on his bottom lid of his eye, near the outer right, I touched it and it doesn't seem to hurt him, but i'm still worried. Any ideas what it could be? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 2 months and 26 days old

This lump on Shadow could be a meibomian gland adenoma or a stye. Both are benign growths, and not something about which to be too concerned. You can try holding a wash cloth that has been moistened in warm water again the lump to see if that help encourages drainage of the lump. Do this a couple of times a day for five minutes at a time. If this doesn't help, then I would have Shadow seen by a vet. If it is a meibomian gland adenoma, it can ulcerate, so it may need to be removed surgically to prevent irritation to the cornea of the eye.
