Hi there. This looks like a histiocytoma. If it is, it should regress (go away on it's own) within a month or two. I would not be overly worried about this right now. Here is a link to an article about this issue: http://www.veterinarypartner.com/Content.plx?P=A&S=0&C=0&A=1676 If it does not go away within a month or so then you should take her to your vet for an exam. There is nothing you can do about it right now. If you want to put a boot on her to protect it when she is outside playing you can do that. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
