    This morning I saw that Jago has a pink thing on his left eye.
    Sorry I am not able to use exact words.
    He is not in pain.

    What is that?
    I've never noticed before.

    I attach a photo, better than my explanation :P :rolleyes:

    Hi Jsabina! My dog has one of these in exactly the same place. Dogs grow lumpy/bumpy things all the time. If its not sore/inflamed i wouldnt worry, but I would bring him to the vet if it starts to change/grow/open up or become reddend/inflamed at all.

    It looks more like a blocked hair follicle in this case, no?

    This is what I was thinking aswell. It doesn't look like a skin tag to me.

    It's kinda like a spot!
    I'd imagine bathing it with warm, salty water a few times a day would help it, but you know yourself, if in doubt, consult your vet!

    That's what I was thinking too - a stye. But afraid to comment because it's really for a vet to say! If it is a stye, a gentle warm compress will help.
