Hello. It is always best to have any lumps, bumps or new lesions checked out as soon as possible, but if it does not seem to be bothering Lola & it is not bleeding or oozing, then you can probably wail a day or so to have it looked at. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
