Eye lump

[Patricia]

Hello everyone,

Edward has a lump under/on his lower eyelid (like a small pea). It doesn't seem to be irritating him and there's no discharge at all. I only noticed it this morning. The vet has said to keep monitoring it for a week, if it's still there or growing she'll refer us to an eye specialist as it's in an awkward place. Do any of you have any idea what it could be? The photo is not very clear, but you can see the swollen bit.

if I had to take a guess, I'd say it was a chalazion. But, that's only a guess.

could be that, could also be a blocked duct or something, but i would think that would be bigger and in a different location. doesn't look like it is really painful or nasty.

could it be the start of a stye

It's possible is could also be flaring from an allergy. Have you tried giving him some Benadryl?

do dogs get pimples? I once got a pimple on my eyelid and it hurt like MOFO...so, so bad...

Could it be a bug bite?
