Hi! My dog has a small bump right under her right eye. A week ago it wasn’t there and now suddenly appeared. The first picture is her without it and the last two are with the bump. It isn’t bothering her but I would like to know if I should be concerned. Thank you in advance!!

While I do not think this is an emergency, I would recommend you closely monitor the lump. Make sure it is not growing in size or causing irritation to Mylie's eye. If it continues to grow I would absolutely recommend having it removed as masses near the eye can cause damage to the eye itself or interfere with vision.
