We noticed something on Carlies upper eyelid. It looks like an injury as it looks to be a scab on the top of the bump. What should we do? She seems fine no changes in anything still her happy go lucky self. Its been there for about 4-5 days

I actually think this looks more like a chalazion, or a blocked/infected eyelid gland. Sometimes these resolve without specific treatment and warm compresses can help, but other times surgery is necessary. A traumatic wound is possible but probably wouldn't be raised. If it still does not seem to be resolving in the next few days I'd recommend seeing your veterinarian.
