My old dog has a growth under his eyelid. What should I do next?

Question

MY male corgi is 14 years old and had an eye oblation for glaucoma. His other eye has, what looks like a wart underneath the upper eyelid, as if something is trapped there or growing there. He also has a cataract in that eye. In all other aspects he is well, has a good appetite, and normal behaviour. Can you help me please? Thank you.

It is not uncommon for older dogs to get benign growths on their eyelids. Usually these do not cause much problem. If it continues to grow and his eye is red or has more discharge than normal then I would take him in for an exam. They may prescribe eye medication and tell you whether it would be best to remove the growth. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Taylor.
