My cat has a bump on her whisker pad with two whiskers. Is it normal?

Hello there. While the bump on Peaches' face could be from a scratch from another cat, it could also be the start of an abscess (either from a cat fight or from dental disease) or could be a growth starting. I recommend taking Peaches to her vet to have it checked out. She may need antibiotics or a dental cleaning. Hope this helps!

This type of swelling could be something fairly simple and harmless such as an ingrown hair or an insect bite, or something more serious such as a localized infection or even a skin tumor of some kind. If the swelling doesn't seem to be bothering her and she is acting normal otherwise, you could wait to see if it goes away on its own within the next week or two. If it doesn't, or if it gets larger or becomes itchy or painful, then I would recommend having her examined by a vet to determine what it is - he/she may prescribe antibiotics or short-term oral steroids to treat the swelling, or may do a simple test called a fine needle aspirate to diagnose the problem if it appears to be a growth of some kind.

Hi, it is difficult to see from this picture if it is just a puncture hole or if it could be something else. Does it look a bit raised ? If so, I would recommend to have it checked over to see exactly what it could be. Hopefully it is nothing concerning but it is better to be safer rather than sorry !

Thank you for submitting your question regarding Squanto. If the bump does not resolve over the next several days, then she should see her veterinarian. Lesions above the eyes can be the result of scratching due to itchy ears from an infection. Cats can be private and she may scratch while she is alone. You can also check her ears for discharge as this is also a sign of an infection. I hope this information helps!

Your puppy may have a swelling from trauma, an abscess, infection, or an allergic reaction. It is very difficult to say what is causing the problem without seeing an image. I would suggest leaving it alone for now and see if it changes over the course of the next few hours. If it appears itchy you can give her a single dose of Benadryl at 1mg per pound. If there is no improvement I suggest taking her to the veterinarian.

It looks like your cat may have a small puncture wound on her face. It is pretty small and should heal on its own. If it gets larger or swollen then she may need some antibiotics to help it clear up.

Poor Molly has developed an infection around her mouth. Quite often such lesions are caused by bacteria, but it could be fungal. It looks quite swollen so I would take her to the vet. They will likely give her an antibiotic and get you to wash the area and apply a medicated cream to it.
