Sky's red and swollen snout, along with the bump on her lip, could be due to several reasons, including allergic reactions, insect bites or stings, infections, or even trauma. Since this has been ongoing for a day and isn't worsening, there are a few steps you can take at home to help her:

First, you can apply a cold compress to the swollen area. This can help reduce inflammation and soothe the redness. Aim to do this for about 10-15 minutes a few times a day.

Next, it's important to monitor the bump and swelling closely. If you notice it starting to grow, becoming more painful, or if Sky shows signs of discomfort, it may need more immediate attention.

Additionally, try to ensure that Sky is not exposed to any potential allergens or irritants. This includes certain plants, chemicals, or foods that might be causing a reaction.

You should also gently clean the affected area with a mild antiseptic solution to prevent any potential infection.

If the swelling persists, worsens, or if Sky shows other symptoms such as difficulty breathing, lethargy, or loss of appetite, it would be best to consult a veterinarian. They can provide a more thorough examination and appropriate treatment, such as antihistamines for allergic reactions or antibiotics for infections.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to ask. Thank you.
