Why is my lab puppy's hard head lump returning with a droopy eye?

You should give the antibiotics a couple days to work, i am hoping that by Sunday you will start seeing some improvement. if by Monday it is not getting better take him back to the vet, it might need to be opened surgically in order to drain the fluids that are accumulating on that spot.

If it recently got bigger than you should have a vet take a look at the lump to determine the cause. She could have an infection, cyst, or a mass and your vet can do a needle aspirate to help diagnose and then determine if any treatment is needed.

Poor Lucy! I would keep giving her the cream for her eye, as she needs to to treat whatever is wrong with her eyes. Keep a close eye on her, and take her back into the vet in the morning. Best of luck.

I am sorry to hear that! It may be that the infection is still going on - you may need a longer course of the antibiotic or perhaps a different one. I would recommend having them expressed again to see if there is still debris present. I would also want to double check and make sure there is not a mass present in the area:( You can ask for a biopsy to be done if the lump seems unrelated to the infection. I hope this helps and that it is nothing more than a persistent infection!

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This could be a benign or malignant growth. There is no way of knowing what it is just based on its appearance. This is often differentiated by a test called a fine needle aspirate (FNA) which is a pain free, inexpensive and easy procedure which in most cases will help reach a diagnosis. Sometimes a biopsy is needed for a definitive diagnosis. I do not think you should continue to just monitor it as it is likely going to continue to grow. I recommend that you have him evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. I am really hoping for something benign. Good luck and have a good day!

Given the duration and location of this lump, I am very concerned about a bone or cartilage tumor. It's also possible that there is an infection causing this lump, or it could be a benign cyst. Either way, this could lead to serious problems and should be diagnosed by a veterinarian as soon as possible to prevent it from getting worse or becoming inoperable. In order to know exactly what this is, the vet will need to take a sample of it and analyze it in a laboratory. I recommend taking Riley to the vet within the next week to get this checked-out. I hope that helps and Riley gets better soon.

Hello, sorry to hear about Coco. I would have her bump checked out. Looking at it appearance and location it’s probably a clogged tear duct. However without assessing it, it is difficult to tell you wether or not Coco has an abscess (infection) or a small tumor. The same is possible for the bump on her head. Have her evaluated soon so that your veterinarian may be able to obtain samples/treat these nodules soon. Hope this helps and best of luck.
