    Weird white lining around one eye (NOT eye cap)?

    My BP has a strange white lining around only one eye... I just noticed it today (I look at her just about everyday), and she hasn't shed for at least 2 weeks before this happened, so I am pretty sure it is not an eye cap. She is around 7 months old, and eats frozen food.

    Here are some pictures of both eyes:

    Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! I'm pretty worried... I did some searches on this forum but found nothing conclusive.

    may just be unsymmetrical markings on the head, im not quite sure, if nobody else has input, may be a vet visit will be good.

    Hi,

    It looks like the piece of skin that joins the eyecap onto the rest of the skin.

    It may have got pulled out during the shed.

    I wouldn't bother about it unless it starts looking inflamed or anything.
