Poor girl. A photo would help here. Please repost with a photo of your pets enlarged mammary gland. IF she was spayed after she turned 1 year of age, there is a hig risk of mammary cancer. Swelling can also be caused by an infected mammary gland. I would have this mammary gland tested through your vet to ensure this isn't cancerous if it is not red and if the swelling is firm and knotty. I hope that everything works out well for your pet Kaycee. Best wishes and take care.
