Hi, my husky/collie mix 3 yr old has a sore next to her eye. I didnt see it the morning, took her to doggie daycare, picked her up and they said Kona came with the sore in the morning. I cant tell if it is a sore, bug bite, wart or something else. The last picture was 3 days ago,,,the first two pictures are from today. Please help

Poor Kona! That area could be an insect bite, infection, ringworm, or even a mass. The only way to determine what it is is taking her to your vet. They may want to try to get a sample of it, even though it's in a tough location to try to figure out what it is. They will also be able to recommend the best course of treatment as well.
