Hello. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. So sorry that Lucky is having this issue. It is very difficult to see the lump on the abdomen from the photos. I suggest you take her to a vet to have that examined in person. It is almost impossible to tell what a lump is just by feeling it or seeing it. Most of the time testing needs to be done to figure it out. Lumps can be abscesses (infection), hernias, tumors (cancer) or cysts. Your vet will need to help you figure it out. Best wishes.
