Question

I have a 5 year old Dalmation. Five days ago I noticed a small patch of hair missing on her side. Two days after that it began swelling. It is now the size of a half a grapefruit. There are no puncture marks so I doubt if she was bitten. She is eating, drinking and behaving normally otherwise. She doesn't lick or bite at it. I am not sure if she is up to date with her rabies shots so I am hesitant to take her to the vet. Is there anything I can do for her at home?

Info Request

Is there any discoloration over the area? Does the swelling feel soft and mushy, or is it quite firm? Does it seem painful when you press on it?
