BP with eye issue?

This is Jasper, the first (and probably last) BP I'll ever own.

A week ago, I noticed this little anomaly on his right eye.



It kinda looks like a scab, but I really haven't a clue what it really is, what caused it and more importantly, how to cure it.

I've had the ole' boy since 1993 and just want the best for him.

BTW, he eats f/t and he's never been with other BPs, so I know this isn't some bite injury.

So no thoughts on this one yet? Here's a close-up shot:

Possibly a stuck shed scale. Could try soaking his face and GENTLY rubbing, or see if it come off naturally next shed. How long has it been there?

See this thread for a recent discussion on stuck eye caps

Its not a retained eyecap. I know what those look like.

The general consensus from other folks on other threads is that it is likely just an old age thing.

He's an old man! Time for bi-focals.

Has he been through a shed cycle since it's developed? Hopefully it sheds out and doesn't start retaining. I don't think it's an eyecap but it could lead to one, dunno. I would almost be tempted to brush some triple antibiotic on it just to soften it up, just on the crest of the eye though because the cream will remain around the outside and collect dirt. GL.
