i noticed a little lump buy my little chloe's right eye the other day.. it just looked like she was having a bad hair day, but last night upon closer inspection it looked like a tiny lump with a reddish dot... and by her other eye there is a reddish dot too...

please tell me she might have just quilled herself or that the lump is flaky dry skin.. i'm hoping its not a tumor, but i fear the worst...

help ease my mind, or if you know what it could be... how can i fix it...

i called the vet but hes not back till monday and i'm very poor and can't afford a visit anyways... but i have to do something for my baby!!

please help meeee... i can take a pic if that would help at all...

It could be the beginnings of a staph infection or some other type of infection which will need antibiotics to clear up.

Since it's Easter weekend, there are a few things you can try. What type of bedding she is on? If shaving, carefresh, or any loose bedding, switch her to liners immediately. A pillow case or baby receiving blankets will do for now. No towels and make sure there are no loose threads.

If you already use liners, have you changed your detergent recently? If not, try double rinsing.

Chances are good that it is not a tumour since there are two spots. Eliminate anything that could be causing an allergic reaction and if the spots continue to appear, she needs to see a vet at the beginning of the week. :)
