bump on upper eyelid

by me
(texas)

For the past 2 weeks my 3 year old boston terrier has this stye looking bump on his upper eyelid. its not towards the tear ducts so its not cherry eye. We took him to the vet and they gave us some eye drops and antibiotics. the bump is red, and he doesn't seemed bothered by it. Has anyone had this experience with their boston terrier?

My 6 year old female Boston gets them all of the time. Sometimes they just go away and a couple of times I had to take her to the vet. My older Boston has never had them.

 eyelid bumps

My one year old has 4 small bumps on the upper eyelid of only one eye. I hold a warm clean washcloth on her eyelid, twice per day. She's had them for about one week, and I plan to take her to the veterinarian.

My last Boston who lived to be 15, and recently passed, had the same bumps occasionally. They would go away on their own in a couple of weeks. They seemed more infrequent as she aged.

Our Boston got them in his whiskers last summer (due to heat), but now he is having some appear and then go away periodically on or around his eyelid. They never seem to bother him nor get irritated or swollen. We think it's just normal. Going to double check with our vet this week :)

 bump on upper eye lid

My boston had the same thing and I took him to the vet. It's an eye lash infection, which may go away, or may need antibiotics.

Did the bump go away? My 1 year old Boston had had one for two weeks. The vets have no idea what it is....

Could it be a bug bite with a subsequent infection or allergic reaction?
