Hi I would wait - i had my Star's yearly checkup done in September and she had a lump the size of a nickle where she got her rabies shot - my vet said and i know from all my years of having dogs that this is the shot most likely to cause this sort of thing - it took 3 months for it to go away - it just slowly shrank in size. I would advoid that steroid if at all possible - they sometimes just bring another problem.
