canine eyelid tumour

Canine Eyelid Tumour 
Eyelid tumours are common conditions in dogs.  They affect the spread of normal tears over the cornea, directly irritate the cornea and sometimes lead to ulceration of the cornea and pain.  If they are allowed to grow large in size, they can affect the normal function of the eyelid and require more extensive surgery to remove.
 
What are the clinical signs of eyelid tumours?
  • A lump or mass on one or more of the eyelids
  • Red eye
  • Cloudy eye
  • Watery to mucky discharge
  • Squinting
  • Rubbing the eyes

Treatment of eyelid tumours
Surgical removal of the eyelid tumour is normally performed under a general anaesthetic with the aid of an operating microscope.  An operating microscope aids in achieving perfect eyelid alignment so that it can smoothly glide over the corneal surface.

Post surgery
The surgery site must be kept free of discharge.  This can be achieved by bathing the eyelids with clean plain luke-warm water twice daily.  Some patients will require antibiotics after surgery.  All animals will need to wear a protective collar so they do not rub the eyes.  Please check the area around the neck twice daily to ensure the collar is not damaging the skin around the neck.
