Hi there and thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to address your concern. I would recommend having Lilly examined by a veterinarian so that the most appropriate diagnostic and treatment recommendations can be made. This may be a cyst or mass on the eyelid that may need to be removed. This mass / cyst may be causing irritation to the eye and if it is not addressed it may cause trauma to the cornea of the eye due to constant irritation. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
