My pet has a non-painful bump on their eyelid. Is it a stye?

Ronald has what looks like a pimple or stye on his eyelid. Hoping it's not the start of an infection. It doesn't seem to be hurting him. Any ideas/advice?

It could be local infection or inflammation. Monitor for rapid change or growth. If he is pawing at it or rubbing, place an e-collar (cone) on him and have it examined in person by your veterinarian.
