I have just noticed like a medium sized bump that is filled with some yellowish fluid under my puppy's right arm. Just worried of what it might be

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The area looks moist so it is likely a superficial skin infection or hot spot. I would wash the area with water and mild soap and apply a triple antibiotic ointment twice daily. The area does look a bit swollen so watch it closely. If there is no improvement over the weekend have her checked by your Vet Monday. I hope this helps!
