    Opinions on this growth

    Maxi has a growth on her shoulder that started out looking like an insect bite about 5 days ago. It was just lump. 2 days ago it looked more like a rash. It was pink and had fur on it. Today it is bare, and VERY red, but it's not bloody. It's wet with puss (i think). It's still a lump and doesn't hurt or irritate her. What is it, and how can I treat this till she gets to go to the vet?

    Now me being me?  I'd probably blot it with clean tissue and see if pinching it gently (if it doesn't cause discomfort) would eject more poison.  Then I'd put antibiotic ointment on it.  Looks like the body is trying to eject the junk inside.
