My older female dog has a lump on her mammary gland. Is it cancer?

Question

My female English springer spaniel has a lump that is white and blue on her milk sac. I was wondering if you could tell me what it is. She is 10 years old and she has had puppies. Pet's info: Dog | English Springer Spaniel | Female | unspayed | 12 years and 1 month old

This mass could indicate anything from a cyst, an infected gland, to even mammary cancer. I would be concerned about cancer given her age and that she is not spayed. I recommend your veterinarian take a look at Penny and discuss if this mass needs to be biopsied, monitored or even removed.
