My cat developed a raised bump like a pimple above her right eye. It doesn’t seem to bother her. Should I be concerned? We noticed it two days ago. Thanks!

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Squanto. If the bump does not resolve over the next several days, then she should see her veterinarian. Lesions above the eyes can be the result of scratching due to itchy ears from an infection. Cats can be private and she may scratch while she is alone. You can also check her ears for discharge as this is also a sign of an infection. I hope this information helps!
