took him to the vet, he said "let it go for a few weeks, see if it goes away".
Anyone seen anything similar on your Dobie?

Sounds like maybe a stye... They usually go away on their own. A lot of times they are stress/anxiety induced.

Skin tags look like a mole, but are more elongated and flesh-colored. Humans get them, most often as we age (one of the many perks of being over 20....). A stye (or pimple for that matter) will eventually burst. You can always wash/wipe his eye with a cloth/cottom ball soaked in warm slightly salty water to help bring thngs to a head and wash away and sanitize anythng that weeps from the stye or pimple. If he has a lot of yellowish eye goop as well, he may have pink eye (conjuctivitis). It is extremely contagious, so wash your hands, dry with a paper towel and immeidately discard. He'll need antibiotic eye drops from your vet to get rid of it.
