Unless your dog can talk, you cannot know for sure that she is not in
pain. Take her to the vet.

..........If it has reduced in size, it's probably not a viral wart. Could
be bacterial, cyst of some sort or insect bite.

take out the dog before replying

So then what? The dog talks to the vet? You are so silly. You have no
idea if she can tell if her dog is in pain or not. You also have no idea
if the vet is savvy enough to know if the dog is in pain or not.

If she has things under control there is no need to spend lots of money
at a vet's office. Do you get kickbacks from vet visits or what?

I guess what I meant to say is that when i was doing her compressess
she let me do them without even flinching.There was no guarding on her
part to protect her eye she is not using her paw in any way to scratch
at this lump or cyst.She has no eyelashes so it can't be an ingrown
eyelash or the condition that causes the eyelashes to go inward
towards eyeball.My dog is 12 years old and I have had her since she
was 8 weeks old.I am the type of owner that examines her dog for ticks
fleas.I do my own grooming by clipping her hair and I shower and bathe
her when needed.She also sleeps with me if that means anything.What I
am trying to say is that I would know if my dog had pain.Because I
have constant physical interaction with her.If she had any pain I
would know it.Getting back to the lump on her lower eyelid.It has not
grown any in size.there is no drainage coming from it after many hot
compressess.Her lower eyelid is brown and this is a red lump tha is
visible on the outside of her eyelid.I appreciate the feedback that I
received from my e-mail.

OK, I understand what you're saying about her not being in pain.
However, I still think a vet visit is a good idea to find out what the
lump is.

So you *do* get kickbacks! And you probably have stock in animal
pharmaceuticals too.

No, I just have a desire, when there is something wrong with one of my
dogs, to know what it is. If I can't diagnose and treat it myself,
and it needs treatment, I take the dog to the vet. I understand that
this is a foreign concept for you. I'm sorry that all your vets have
apparently been out to get as much money as they could from you -
maybe it's because of your attitude - but mine haven't, so I don't
have that paranoid streak you have.

So do most people. However, I think that you aren't able to diagnose
much because you assume others can't do it either. You could have
understood her the first time but I guess you have your limitations.
Either that or you just wanted to insult her intelligence. You were the
only one that had a problem with understanding what she was doing. It
says a lot about you.

Char, there is a very limited number of things this red lump is likely
to be. If it doesn't change or clear up with moist heat applied for 2-3
days, then it's pretty much beyond home-cure, as it's not a simple
"sty". If the lady wants to know what it is, then it's time to seek a
professional opinion, even if it turns out to be some trivial, benign
thing.

I have found very few vets who put money above service.... and worst one
I encountered was the first "holistic" vet in the region. Just like
physicians, they have to pay insurance, staff (benefits are now
necessary to keep good workers, as are living wages, especially for
school trained staff), mortgages or rent, costs of equipment, state and
local business licensure, utilities (here, electricity and telephone to
businesses are almost 50% higher than home service), for stock
medications and medical supplies, maintenance of everything. Costs for
all of these have been creeping up.... if not leaping. The days of
cheap vet service are pretty much gone.

Since she posted that it's already reducing in size I guess your point
is moot.

I just wanted to let everybody that responded to my e-mail that the
red lump that was on her eyelid has completely disappeared.I did do
hot compresses for a few days and I waited to see how it would
respond.As I said in my previous e-mail that she was not in pain there
was no drainage coming from it and she wasn't using her paw to scratch
at it.As I said before I have had my dog since she was 8 weeks old and
I know her very well.Thanks to all who responded all of your comments
were much appreciated

Thanks for your report. Too often people will just post a question and
disappear. It's nice to know when it all works out well.

I'm glad to hear that Holly, and glad you didn't let the trolls chase
you off.

Many people do disappear, especially when people like you Phyrie provide
rude responses.

What is there about my post that compelled you to spew your bile all over
me? Completely unnecessary, and you accuse OTHERS of trolling?

Since I didn't say anything rude to Holly, I have to assume you are a
stalker and a moron. Nothing new here.

Holly... my dog has the same thing that just appeared on her lower eyelid over night. What exactly did you do for it to go away? I completely understand when you stated she wasnt hurting because my boy is not scratching it or isn't hurting from it either. Please let me know asap. Thank you!
