tumours ? on eyelids

Post by zookeeper » Fri Jan 09, 2009 11:45 pm

One of my gouldians has some sort of . . . things . . . on the bottom eyelids. Pale yellow, sort of kidney shaped, about 1/16" around. At first I thought he had got a seed stuck to his face .

Whatever they are, they don't seem to be bothering him, but if they grow eventually they will make him uncomfortable.

Anybody else ever seen such a thing? Will a vet be able to do anything for him?

I have not seen anything like this. Do you have any photos?

The little bugger never would sit still long enough for me to get a picture. Fortunately, whatever it was has disappeared on its own.

Maybe it was a seed?
