She has an infected wound. Take her to the vet to make sure it is healing properly & see if she needs antibiotics-- probably does!

Sounds like she has an abcess probably from a bite. The color indicates a bacterial infection and she should have treatment with antibiotic immediately. The ER vets will not have to x-ray, do blood work or any terribly expensive things and they will charge more than your regular vet would. That's because they work long night-time and weekend hours so all personnel there are paid more than usual. You really must do this as waiting till Monday for the regular vet will only make the damage get more serious and it is best taken care of today or tonight.

It is probably an abcess from a wound she received. She should see a vet, if you can't get her there right away, put a hot (not too hot) compress against it to try to draw the pus out. Clean it with mild soap and water. If there isn't a deep open hole, you can throw a little peroxide on it , then rinse it off. Keep her in the house til it heals.

She's gotten an infection and if it's the size of a walnut it might be getting serious. It could be from getting into a fight or getting hurt some other way. You have to take her to the vet. They be able to diagnose it properly.

Sounds like an abcess, the green stuff it oozed is pus. You can flush it yourself, but if she goes outside it could be a bite and I recommend taking her to the vet.
