Something on the eyelid
Last few days Luna has a weird little spot on her eyelid. It doesn’t seem swollen or raised really the skin is just bit weird there n it’s like few hairs are missing. Could be a bite or a scratch? Not sure as she often scratches her face after being outside she definitely has sensitive skin.. she’s in her season now, don’t know if that would change anything with that though

Re: Something on the eyelid
It looks either like a skin tag/wart, or a blocked hair follicle. If it gets red and swollen, see a vet as blocked hair follicles can get infected.
If it's a skin tag & it doesn't grow towards the eye surface I would leave well alone. If it continues to grow then your vet may want to snip it off & send it away for cautionary testing.

Re: Something on the eyelid
Opium sometimes gets what looks like a micro patch of dry skin/scab, for want of a better description. They come and go so I put it down to the equivalent of juvenile acne
Do keep an eye on it but I would say to leave it alone and it’ll probably disappear as suddenly as it appeared.

Re: Something on the eyelid
Okay that’s actually a really good way to describe what this is, it’s significantly smaller now but it’s just like a weird tiny spot with two or 3 hairs missing and tiny bit of dryness, not flaky or perky just dry. It isn’t raised either it isn’t a bump or lump just looks raised over lack of hair, it draws attention
