This blob like thing may actually be a penis if it's located on the belly right in-between the hind legs, and Lisa could be a boy. It could also be an umbilical hernia (but that would be a little further up the belly), or it could be a cyst or an abscess. It should be checked out by a vet, so if you don't have the money for a check up, I would recommend giving her to the SPCA who can get her checked out by a vet, and get the medical treatments she needs (flea treatment, vaccines, deworming medication, etc). They can then find her a home.
