Hi Nube. Are you in the UK? It could be a cyst or a small wart/growth on the eyelid. These can be removed surgically and can sometimes grow bigger, so it might be a good idea to let a vet take a look at it. It may have grown due to bacteria from people handling her and not being hygienic or it may be genetic. Either way, I would keep an eye on it. What age is she? Are the school responsible for any vet care/bills or do you just want to get her checked out? x
