But because she is acting normally, ate all her food this morning, looks exactly like your photo (and your situation was not life threatening), does not display signs of experiencing pain when I touched the area and I have to work to actually pay for her examination, I believe she can wait 24 hours to see my preferred vet. I understand I could be making a mistake but it is a risk assessment situation that is inherently imperfect.
If I was in your situation, I'd wait too. The appointment is tomorrow early, so it's not like your waiting several days, and as you said, she's acting normally, so it's probably something you'll be able to treat with some antibiotics, if she even needs them.

Also, Maks didn't seem in pain either when I touched his lip. Please post back when you finally take her in. I'd be curious as to what your vet thinks it is as well.
