My dog has increased discharge from both eyes (mostly clear). I have noticed these white spots on both eyes on third eyelid. Wondering if it could be related and what is going on?   IMG_7769IMG_7767

Hello I cant really make out what this is from here; your vet will be able to examine the area in conext and, if they are not sure what it is themselelves, may run the gross appearance by a pathologist or opthalmologist.  I wonder about a huge range of possibilities from tiny cysts, viral infection, unusually positioned follicles, pigment variation, inflamed myobian glands and tumours. Any sore eye should be regarded as an emergency and if not sore, then because of the more serious end of the spectrum of possibilities, we would reccommend that this is checked soon.

Hello.  To answer properly, all in one place.  The detail of the  photograph is difficult to make out but your vet will be able to take a look at your dog's eye in full context and, if they are not sure themselves, may opt to run the lesion by an opthalmologist or pathologist.  Eye abnormalities, especially with bilateral discharge, are often emergencies so we reccommend getting this triaged as such; triage is the process where an emergency vet or nurse assesses how soon a lesion ought to be seen.  I wonder about a huge range of possibilities from tiny cysts to viral infections, enlarged follicles, demodex or otherwise inflamed myobian glands, parasites, abnormal pigmentation and tumours.   There also appears to be outpouchig of the lower lid in this case, which may be related. Wishing you the best of luck and please do let us know how you get on.
