That seems really, really swollen. I would take her to the vet as soon as possible. An infection like that won't get better on its own. I hope she is ok! Keep us updated.

I definitely would try to find the nearest Vet Hospital or Emergency Pet Hospital. Or at least call a ER Vet and ask them questions to see if it's something really serious. Poor girl...

I'm so glad I have this site to go to for help, as you probably feel the same way.

Do you think she'll be fine till tomorrow morning? Her doctor's clinic is closed now and the emergency pet hospital is really expensive around here. I'll have to take her tomorrow. My mom's a doctor and I showed her the swelling. She said it takes 2 weeks for the swelling to go down, but just to be safe I'm taking her in tomorrow morning.

I will keep you guys updated. Poor Faye :(

Swelling, weeping, rashes or discoloration might be indicative of an infection, take her to the vet now and skip the bath next time. Keep us updated!

That does not look normal. I'd take her to the vet ASAP.

So yeah, maybe I exaggerated the size, but it's still a big bump.

Here's a picture of the inflammation:
