Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! If there are no other signs of infection or discomfort such as scratching or biting at it, you may just drain it with your fingers and then clean the area with soapy water. If if fills up again, or she develops others, have her evaluated by your veterinarian for more thorough treatment most likely including systemic antibiotics. She is precious by the way! Have a good night!
