Small lesion on bottom eye lid April 14, 2005 11:22AM
I have been to the vets this morning and he has explained that my dog may have 2 small lesions on his bottom eye lid, we are hoping that it's an infection that has caused this but if they aren't gone in a couple of days or if they get bigger they will have to be removed along with a small bit of the eye lid. Does anyone know how this will affect his eye and indeed what caused lesions.

Hi,Dawn, Thse may be a result of a mild chronic infection in an eyelash follicle, or they may be small benign 'cysts'. Removing them will be very starightforward and there should be no after-effects. Walter

Hi, Dawn, I cannot think of any likely connection between the two. You have not said how old Charlie is, but the first thhing to consider as a cause of the coat thinning is fleas! W
