My dog has a bump on her throat close to her mouth. Is this normal? Should I be worried? She hasn't eaten the past few days either

Yes I would be worried about Pokie. Many bumps are not normal, nor it is normal that she hasn't eaten for the past few days. It could be the bump is bothering her so much she doesn't want to eat or can't eat. She needs to see a vet as soon as possible, take her into one right away.
