Hi thanks for your question! It is hard to say exactly what the mass could be without examining Rikey first and taking a sample of the mass first. This should be done at your local veterinarian's office to determine if it is something of concern or not and if it needs to be removed. If Riley absolutely cannot go to the vet, then I would just watch it for now and take note if it seems to be quickly growing or if the mass starts to drain or become red and infected. If Riley's mass gets worse, Riley may need a sedative prior to a veterinary exam to have the mass examined. You may ask your vet if this is possible. Better living through chemistry as they say! I hope this helps and I wish you and Riley the best!
