There is a huge lump on my dogs face! Please help!

I came home from work yesterday and found a large lump on the right side of my dogs lip. The lump is hard. Right now I'm struggling financially so if I don't need to take her to the hospital asap and can hold off until Thursday I would like to do that. Anyone have any ideas on what it is and how serious? Also know a home remedy or something I can buy over the counter to fix it?

One of my dogs had something similar come up on his flank. It was a little larger than a nickel. The vet aspirated it to make sure it wasn't cancerous and prescribed a combo of oral and topical antibiotics to clear it up. It's been well over a year and no recurrence.

I agree with Blu. Keep a close watch and if anything changes, go.
God luck!

She's acting normal. The only time she acts like its bothering her is when I touch it and she just pulls her face away. Theres no snakes around these parts either.

This is definitely for the vet.  Your dog may have been bitten by some wild critter like a snake.  If you see ANY abnormal behaviors before Thursday, go to the vet right away. - Blu
