The lump you are describing on Jaffacake sounds as though it may be an umbilical hernia, which is a defect in the body wall that can allow fat (or intestines in severe cases) to protrude out. If this is an umbilical hernia, correction is a fairly simple surgical procedure that can easily be performed at the time of a spay surgery. However, if it is a mass or cystic lesion, it could be more involved to remove and biopsy. Jaffacake should see her vet for an exam so that the cause of her lump can be evaluated. Your vet will be able to give you a cost estimate for any surgical procedure, as this will vary based upon the size and type of lesion.
