There was only the one by the snout like it's spreading I have a picture but I'm not sure how to attach it

The picture that attached looks like a fluid filled cyst (pocket of fluid). If so this is not concerning. Marley may scratch it and it could burst. Also not concerning but it may fill back up. The only way to cure a cyst is to surgically remove it. Discuss your options with your vet. Good luck and kisses to Marley!
