In view of what you write J2579 I would assert that the action by the vet would appear correct. As for your remaining financial millstones you have my sympathy.
Good luck with all your family.

We don't have a dog Jean, so just dropping in to say hope it's all sorted out soon and that your dear little dog gets better and back to good health very soon.
Try not to worry too much xx

My daughter has a Jack Russell, 6yrs old and never had anything like that, infact the dog is really healthy.
Sorry I cant help and hope your dog gets better soon.

Sorry to hear that you've got some not-very-well males around, Jean.
Forget the straw, go medicinal, get a drip!

Possible causes include a cyst, infection, growth, tumour, viral wart. It would appear your vet considers it is an infection of some sort. How are the teeth on that side of the head? An infected tooth can also be a problem.
How old is the dog?, any chance of a photograph? where exactly is the lump in relation to the eye?
If things do not improve (after a week I would expect some) you must return to the (a) vet and possibly a needle biopsy.

It grows rather fast for anything too worrying. But why did not the vet do biopsy when he had the dog today?

Some times dogs get grass seeds under their skin, which can cause a growth

Jean please keep us informed.
My ID signature includes a pair of Basenjis which are also tough real dogs like yours.
