Hello i got a puppy about 4 days ago..she seems fine ..About 2 days ago she hit herself under the bed and got a little bump on the right side of her forhead.. Will the bump go away by itself?? Should i be worried? I can't take her to the vet because she doesn't have her shots yet.. It doesn't bother her but im worried she might have a concussion or something..plzz help!!):

Your puppy is plenty old enough to get started on her vaccinations, so taking her to the vet shouldn't be a problem. If she's acting fine and the bump is improving, then I wouldn't worry about it too much. She may have just banged herself hard enough to get a swelling. If she isn't acting like herself, then I recommend getting her to see the vet right away.
