My dog got a bump looked like mole approx 1 inch above her eye now it has developed into something looking boil what is and do you need to do?

It's important to take your dog to the vet if they have a bump that is changing in size or appearance, as it could be a sign of a serious medical condition. The vet can properly diagnose the condition and recommend appropriate treatment.

Boils are common skin conditions that are caused by a bacterial infection. They typically start as small, red bumps that can grow larger and fill with pus. The area may be painful or swollen. While some boils can resolve on their own, others may require medical treatment, such as antibiotics or surgical drainage.

If you suspect that your dog has a boil, it's important to avoid squeezing or popping it, as this can spread the infection. You can clean the area gently with a warm washcloth and apply a warm compress to help reduce pain and swelling. However, it is important to let your vet properly diagnose and treat the boil to prevent complications.

Your veterinarian may recommend a course of antibiotics, pain medication, and warm compresses to help reduce the swelling. If the boil is large or does not respond to medical treatment, surgical drainage may be necessary. In some cases, your veterinarian may recommend a biopsy of the bump to determine if it is cancerous or benign.

It is important to follow all of your veterinarian's instructions and monitor your dog's condition closely. If the boil does not improve or if your dog's condition worsens, contact your veterinarian immediately.
