Hello, sorry to hear about Coco. I would have her bump checked out. Looking at it appearance and location it’s probably a clogged tear duct. However without assessing it, it is difficult to tell you wether or not Coco has an abscess (infection) or a small tumor. The same is possible for the bump on her head. Have her evaluated soon so that your veterinarian may be able to obtain samples/treat these nodules soon. Hope this helps and best of luck.
