Thank you for submitting your question regarding Rocco. A stye would be more common in such a young puppy than a growth such as a wart would be. I recommend using the medication prescribed by your veterinarian. You can also apply warm (not hot) compresses to the eyelid for several minutes three times per day. For example, hold a warm wash cloth to the eyelid. Make sure it is not too hot against your own skin. This can help to treat it if it is a a stye. The compresses and the medication such remove the issue. If not, then he should see his veterinarian again. I hope this information helps!
