Hey all. I got a pair of rescue girls a few months ago. I noticed she had a bit of a funny eye but didn't think much of it, it's not causing her any discomfort from what I can tell. At first I thought it was just sleet or something, but it's always there.
Is this fatty eye?
It's only in one of her eyes and only at the tear duct area.
She doesn't scratch it or anything. It does just look like a bit of her skin is too big and falling out a little.

It looks more like a little wart or polyp than fatty eye. Does it bother her eye at all? Irritate it or cause any discharge?

If not it should be safe to just monitor her. If it bothers her eye then I'd imagine it would be a very simply procedure to remove it should your vet want to x
 
My Daisy had something like that a few months ago. The vet said she had caught the inside of her eyelid on something (probably hay) and got a little tear of skin hanging down. The vet removed it while i waited. She took Daisy away and gave her a little whiff of gas, it only took a few
Minutes. I had drops and pain relief to give for a few days and Daisy was absolutely fine.
 
I would get that checked out by the vet. It does look like a little bit of conjunctiva or a bit of a growth. Probably nothing serious but I'd get the vet to,check to be on the safe side.
