Might be a stye. Try resting a warm wet wash cloth on it and see if that might help. That might get it to open itself up faster so it can drain.

Mom to 6 wonderful dogs!
Carl and I both get a lot of styes. And that's what it looks like to me. Use warm washclothes several times a day - it should break and an oozy white stuff will come out. Just keep using the warm wash clothes and it should clear up in a couple of days.
I get them a lot because I have allergies and I work in my garden alot. So I rub my eyes when I know I shouldn't with dirty hands. What a stye is is an infected hair follicle. The warm water draws out the infection. My son did have one that wouldn't break and we took him to an eye dr. He gave us the same "remedy".

Yup! That's a stye. I had it last week!! It went away in a couple days with medication.

I also herd putting a tea bag (wet of course) on it helps. It takes all the gross stuff out.

I started getting styes more last year, and I think a lot of it came from not using my facial cleanser on my eyes. I tend to get an oily build up by my eye lashes, and I think the pores and/or follicles get blocked. I use a mild face cleanser, and always make sure I wash my eye area now too.
The warm compresses for the styes worked well too.

The pharmacist told me the same thing. She told me to use a warm cloth or tea bags and gave me some polyspoirn it's not gone yet but it's feeling better.

Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
Sherman, we miss you!
Yeah, I used to get those all the time when I was a kid. The tannin in the tea is supposed to help draw out the infection. It takes a few days to clear up. Glad you're feeling better!
