Our 3 year old Vizsla suddenly developed a mass or swelling over her right eye. it started with just pain then swelled to about golf ball size over night. it hurts her to touch it. She still eats good, and plays. She has not been around other animals except our cat that she grew up with. Our vet gave her a steroid shot, and put her on a antibiotic, and Benadryl 2 days ago. The swelling has not gone down. Could this be a lipoma over the eye? It has not bothered her site yet as far as we can tell.
