It's not even remotely bothering her so we're not too worried, just curious as to what it might be and if we actually should be worrying!! Thanks "A dog wags its tail with its heart" - Martin Buxbaum

Hers tend to turn pink (in the middle of the black "eyeliner"), and then the skin seems to slough or peel off, and the spots go away. The black pigment has always come back. I'm assuming that it's like a stye on a human eyelid. They've never seemed to bother her (except that I keep wanting to examine them), so I've never taken her to the vet for them.

Our vet was comfortable with leaving it there as long as it didn't irritate the eyeball itself. Eventually, Dexter had to be put under to have some other work done and we took it off then. We didn't have to, but as long as he was anesthetized, we did it. Tracy "Training is not about obedience.

Perhaps not emergency basis, but definitely put it on your "to mention" list for your next vet visit. If it continues to grow quickly then make that sooner rather than later. It could just be a cyst, it might not. Even if it goes away, it's still worth mentioning as they can then make record of it in case she gets more. Em - wow, great attention to detail! It does seem like something that should be on a poster with a catch phrase under it. "Love in the eye of the beholder"... Erica

These generally show around mouth and eyes. Could be wrong. Cara would be the right age. I know there are WAY savvy-er folks that will check in. :-) Karen, Emma, and Lee (Knightly)
