Hi everyone.

I’ve just noticed this near Jaffa’s eye, when I looked with a magnifying glass it appears to be a small pinkish bump near his eye.

Our vet practice is only allowing emergency appointments so I can’t take him to the vet.

Any ideas on what it could be?

It is impossible to say based on just a photo but it doesn't look like a tick.
Has he been on the lawn or outside where he could pick up a tick?

I would just keep a close eye on it and see if it changes or gets bigger.

Hi!

I am very sorry; we can't tell you from your picture. Your guess is as good as ours. Unfortunately there are limits to what you can do online - replacing a hands-on vet diagnosis from just a picture is one of the things were we fall necessarily short.
Please keep an eye on the spot and see how it develops over the coming days.
