Question

I was taking bacon out of oven told dogs to move but my little rescue always comes running when food is around. I Accidentaly spilled a bit if boiling bacon grease on her back about the amount of a tablespoon. I immidetly wash grease out poored cool water on the area and ive been putting cokd cloth for 20 min on and off. This happened this afternoon now she's swollen a bit on the area. Theirs zero redness no burn sighting skin is same as rest of body. Is it normal should I do something more ? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | spayed | 3 years old

That’s all you can for now. Burns can take several days to damage the blood supply and the scabs and wounds start to show. Watch the area closely and if you notice the skin changing or scabs or hair falling out she needs to be seen by a vet for medication and treatment
