I noticed a small bald/bloody patch on bubba's head tonight, and when I went over to look at it, I realized it was swollen quite high around quite a bit around it. When you press on it, it's fairly soft - like, if you were pressing on foam. There is a -lot- of swelling (or infection?). He doesn't yelp in pain if I prod on it, but he doesn't seem to happy I'm doing so.
I'm taking him in as soon as the vet opens in the morning. I'm just trying to figure out what happened to him - from the level of swelling, I would think something large landed on his head. However, with the wound there, I guess it could have been a bite/scratch that got infected?
Pictures are below..He seems kinda lethargic, and when I picked him up, I noticed his fur was moist, like it's been sweating. I'm wondering if I should try to find an overnight place...
I have no idea what this is, and it's making me nervous
