Bump on upper eyelid

Endo

Hi, I have an older pitbull with a bump on his eyelid. It started off small a few weeks ago, but it is larger now and started to bleed today. It has no hair on it and looks rough. Green mucas is present in that eye also. What should I do?

Symptoms: Lumps And Swellings

  Hi, it looks like a little growth to me that should probably be removed surgically under sedation and local anesthetic. It should be sent off for histopathology (lab analysis) too. The green mucus is probably some secondary infection settling in. Please see your vet. thanks, david

  Every Pet Should Have Pet Insurance

  Every day I see pets come into my clinic injured and unwell. Its always so upsetting knowing that treatment could be taken a lot further only if the owner had taken out pet insurance. You have health insurance, so should your pet... Dr Brooks
