Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I' sorry to hear Ivy has a growth under her eye. I do recommend all growths be evaluated by your regular veterinarian to determine if they are something malignant (cancerous) or not. Additionally, with this growth so close to the eye, it may need to be removed in order to prevent issues if it were to grow. I would recommend having it evaluated by her regular veterinarian, and a treatment plan made if needed. Good luck!
