Subject: Bump On Dog's Eyelid
My Golden/Border Collie mix has a bump on her eyelid near the outer/upper
edge of her eye.  Do dogs have tear ducts in that location?  It looks like a
clogged duct or some kind of infection.  It does not seem to bother her but
it looks like it should be a bit uncomfortable.  I could not find any
diagrams of dog eyelid anatomy.  Any links?

I made an appointment for her but it's not until next week.  Anyone have any
suggestions in the meantime?

Thanks.

.....not tear ducts, those are in the same place as humans - inner corner of
eye.   There's some lacrimal glands there.  Good you're having it checked
out.

Thanks for the link--that's just the picture I was looking for.  The bump
appears to be in the location of the lacrimal gland just like you said.  Now
I just need to find out what a lacrimal gland is.

You're seeing your vet, so no suggestions from me, just
anecdotal stuff.  My only experience with such growths is the
tiny one on Rocky's lower eyelid.  It's been there for about 5
years and hasn't grown and doesn't bother him and I won't worry
about it until it does.

FWIW, a friend's dog had a similar benign growth which grew
quickly after being tiny for years and had to be removed.

..........off the top of my head I 'd say they help lubricate the
eye......with tears.

Thanks.  From what I've read (thanks to buglady's link) it sounds like it
might be the lacrimal gland but so far it does not sound like "Red Eye" or
"Dry Eye" so I guess that's something.  The bump is about 1/8" in diameter
and is near the outer corner of her eye at the top.  Sometimes it looks a
little bigger and sometimes a little smaller.

Joining in late - Oppie had a lump on an eyelid that was
diagnosed (IIRC) as an infected hair follicle.  It got to be
about 1/4" in diameter and took a long time to go away, even with
antibiotic ointment treatment.  The eyelashes in the area fell
out and a short strip of them never did grow back.
