Growth on Eyelid

[senorita02]

I thought i had heard that as well, that is why i am so hesitant, i am going to see if they cant just do it without it, i would feel much more comfortable, he has been under before the last time was 1.5 years ago for his hip dysplasia xray , he was fine, but i was a wreck!

Raustyk has been fully under about 5 times since I adopted her about 7.5 years ago & has always handled it really well. If it makes you feel any better.

{{HUGS}} to you and precious Face. I've known many dogs to have skintags - Simba included.

Your dog at 6 years old would be considered middle aged, basically in his prime, most of the growths that occur around the face are benign, Maya had one on her eyelid and it got a bit bigger than disappeared on its own sort of grayish coloured, forgot the type it is called, but common in young dogs. As far as anethesia in recent years pretty well vets have changed over to newer safer gases like propenol (sp) and isoflurane which are human grade, it is pretty rare now to have complications unless the dog has reaction like hyperthermia and since yours has already been under before without problems that won't be an issue, other problems could be blood clotting disorders but bloodwork is usually done just prior to make sure that is not the case, I know of 15 and 16 year old greyhounds who have had dentals done and came out just fine, so age is not really a factor, once my dogs turned 7 I asked for senior blood panels and physicals to be done prior to any surgery to see if there are any health problems that could be a concern, it does not mean if their is a health problem that surgery cannot be done, but it helps the vet know whether extra monitoring needs to be done or different choices of drugs should be used to induce

Thanks everyone for the replies,, i took him in Saturday and they said it is like a pimple/skintag and that its so small that they would not suggest even removing it, as long as it has no discharge etc, and they said he was in perfect health otherwise and not to worry they said if it gets bigger than bring him back, but otherwise he was fine, so i was pretty excited about that!! Thanks again for all the replies.

My 10 year old Golden Retriever has a growth on her eyelid and some discharge from that eye. I'm pretty concerned and this week she goes to the vet. This thread has been a big help to me. The growth is small, but appears to be growing ever so slightly and is starting to cover the eyeball area. She seems to have no concerns or discomfort, but I have to see whats going on.

Anyone else have any experience with this issue ?
