My puppy has a small pustule on her belly. What should I do? She doesn't seem to know it's there, no discomfort or pain.

A warm compress may help it rupture and drain. Afterwards, cleanse the area with dilute betadine or chlohexidine solution and dry thoroughly. A dab of a triple antibiotic can also be applied. If May licks, place an e-collar (cone) on her until the spot heals. If it spreads or causes discomfort, see your veterinarian.
