Hi I have a dog who has a clear looking blob under his left eye. There are also red lines in it. What could it be? He doesn't seem to be affected by it.

Hello! This lump appears very much like a cyst but it is challenging to say from photos alone. I would recommend you monitor it and have your veterinarian assess the lump at Cosmo's next visit. They can consider sampling the lump to see what kind of cells are produced and recommend removing it or leaving it alone if it is harmless.
