I just found this hole next to my dog's eye, is it dangerous, can I take care of it myself or should I seek medical attention immediately?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This wound looks very superficial and will likely heal up on its own. If it does not heal up in the next 5-7 days or it appears to be getting worse, have her evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a great day!
