Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This looks like it could be due to an allergic reaction. How serious this is depends on what is causing the possible allergic reaction and how it progresses. If this is confirmed on an examination, this is usually treated with anti-histamine medications and corticosteroids and usually responds well to therapy. I recommend that you have her evaluated by a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. Good luck and have a good night!
