Different vets charge differently so it’s best to call your local vet for a price quote over the phone. Tumors in pet this young are very rare. It is likely a small acne bump. You can have your vet take a look at it to verify. If she gets more of these then she likely will need a short course of antibiotics to clear things up. Another possible cause for her bump is an umbilical hernia, especially if it is in the middle part of her stomach. Umbilical hernias are corrected surgically when the pet is old enough to be fixed. They dont pose any serious immediate threat to your pet. I hope things work out well for your puppies during their first vet visit. Best wishes and take care.
