I noticed Ruby had a lump on her eyelid that was growing fast. I took her to the local vet, and they said it needed to be removed as it was making her eyelid droop. They thought it was a harmless lump, but I requested it be checked. It was sent to pathology and came back as a Meibomian gland epithelioma. It was a malignant eyelid tumour. Pathology said it appeared the lesion had been fully excised. Pathology said to keep an eye on her lymph nodes. Highlighted to me that all lumps & bumps should be checked.
Whilst they may look harmless, it’s not always the case.
