Warnings
- Avoid treating growths on a dog's eyelid without the help of a veterinarian. Though some sites may recommend natural treatment, it's important to take your dog to the vet to get an accurate diagnosis and proper treatment plan.Thanks
- If you notice an ulcer or something that has irritated the dog's eye, with discharge and redness involved, it's best to take the animal to the vet. It might not be a growth, but it still warrants close inspection and professional treatment.Thanks
