Pet's info: Dog | Border Collie | Female | unspayed | 2 years old | 40 lbs
My 1 year old border collie has a hard lump behind her ear that was not there last night. It doesn't appear to bother her at all. I'm really worried as to what it could be. Will it affect her health

It could be an infection, cysts, or a mass. Marley should be examined by a vet to determine the exact cause. Your vet can do a fine needle aspirate to determine if it needs to be treated. If it is just a benign lump, your vet may want to just monitor it for changes.
