It could be a lymph node, some local inflammation under the skin, or a tumor. There are also certain types of cysts that can develop under the skin like this. It appears well rounded and not inflamed, which are signs that it may not be something serious. To get an accurate diagnoses, you would have to take her to the vet. However, you can also wait a while (a week or more) and just observe it for changes in size or color. If it grows rapidly, changes colors, or appears irregular, then it's best the take her into the vet. If it goes away, then I would not worry about it any longer. I hope that helps and all is well with Sadie.
