Hi my dog got bit/ stung by an insect last night on a walk, on her lip. It swelled a little and she kept itching it but the swelling has now subsided and she isn’t itching and more however there is a small bump with a little pus coming out of it. Any advice? She’s eating and drinking normally acting normal and doesn’t seem to be in any pain

I don't think you need to do anything but monitor it for now. Just make sure it doesn't look worse and if it does, she should see a vet. I really think this will heal up on it's own with no problems.
