I am just curious if anyone Havanese has ever had a little "bump" or "pimple" looking thing on the eyelid?Could this be from getting poked by a toy?plant?wrestling with another dog?allergy?bug bite?Any ideas?:suspicious:

Quincy had one that just showed up overnight(literally)and I hadn't been putting up his topknot for a few days...I put it up,we went for a walk that evening,next morning......pimple-looking thing on his lower eye rim.My first thought was to run him immediately to the vet,but then a friend said,just hold off a few days.Now it is day 2 and it seems to be going away.

Thanks:wink:

I wondered about a sty(spelling) too,like in a human's eye.It did remind me of that the most.I used to get a sty in my eye about once every year or two when I was growing up.Dad used to say it's because I peed outside!:nono:I wish this thing on Quincy's eye was completely gone,:sad:but it isn't.I figure in a few more days if it isn't completely gone,I would take him to the vet.It is about 1/2 the size it was now.:wink:

Awwww, poor little Quincy :( Keep an eye on it Julie and it just may clear up on its own. I think allergy season is now upon us and maybe something got in there that irritated it. Havs are so low to the ground, you never know. Give it a couple more days, clean the area, and see how it goes. Keep us posted. I hope he gets better real soon :)

You know, I just noticed a little white spot on Cash's upper eyelid---it doesn't look raised, just a different color than his black rims- I just thought it was some sort of pigmentation changing. What do you think?

Helen keep us posted on Oreo

Yep, Julie, it's pretty bad..... :spy: :pound: :wave: lol

I'd be wondering too, about Quincy's eye. You never know! It's gone down, so who knows? Does it seem to bother him?

Julie and all, my apologies, I am still waiting on a new camera. My hubby has been saving up to buy a new one. Looks like we may be getting one in a few days. The new pic of Oreo is courtesy of my Uncle. I don't think I will make the May challenge, but I do believe I can meet the next ones ;)

Missy, I will keep you all posted on Oreo's progress :)

I think that is an old farmer saying,because my grandpa and grandma would say it too......"a sty in the eye,means you peed outside"

If that was the case,every dog would have a sty huh?:laugh:

Brady has had this twice. The first time, he was bit by another dog and it was a small cut on his lower eye lid. It was actually a small cut and then it turned into a discoloration and then back to black. We noticed another time that he had a whitish discoloration on his lower lid. We let it go and it went away in a few days. He could have gotten scratched by a leaf or something. Who knows.

Lexi had a cherry eye as well, and surgery a year ago. Although they have no way to guarantee that it wont come back,she has been fine ever since. The key is addressing it ASAP and getting surgery right away. I would head to the vet, just to be sure (as long as the eye looks like the picture on the website) It was not that bad, she was not bothered by it much, except she had to wear the collar for a week or so.

No :nono: cherry eye..........this is just on the very edge of the lower eye lid.Kinda like where an eye lash would grow out of.It looks like a pimple on it,but a big one about to pop.Now it is a little smaller,but still there.Does this sound like what Brady had Karen?

It sounds exactly like what Brady had. I was looking back to see if I had any pictures of him during that time. I will take a look again. I am sure I have something. Brady had a small white spot (about the size of a pimple) on his lower eye lid. His eyes rims are very black, so it was rather noticable. We had no idea what happened, but decided not to panic. It went away on its own and looks just fine now. It wasn't the eye itself, just he lower lid. I would just keep an eye on it and if it starts to bother him, or doesn't go away soon, get it checked out.

Well, not a Hav, but my Ayla has a bump on her eyelid, but the vet just says it's "old lady bumps". She said it's common in older dogs and as long as it's not bothering her not to worry too much about it. If it starts to bother her they can operate to remove it, but I'm always leary about surgery and anesthesia if it's not really necessary. I doubt that's what Quincy has though...he's not an older dog!

I hope it continues to clear up!

I gave Quincy his bath today and was really looking at it.......it's still there,but still reduced in size.I took a few pictures,I will try to edit and post here,but it looks alot like what Brady had....I have dial up,so it takes me awhile.

Thank you guys for the advice/input and good wishes!I'll try to post here soon..:photo:

This is what Quincy's eye-pimple thing looks like.After his bath,he looks really bad!:bathbaby:

The last 2 photos give you a better idea of what it looks like.The last one kinda putting it into perspective...:attention:it is Quincy's left eye.......or on our right bottom lid........:confused:

It does look very similar. The first time when Brady had a cut there, I did take him to the vet and they gave him antibiotic drops. The second time when there was just the mark, I let it be and it just went away. It can never hurt to get it checked out if you are worried, but it does look very similar to my experience.
