It's really difficult to say what this is without examining her, because there are many possibilities that fit that description. It's best to have a vet examine Zoey sometime soon in the next day, or two, because this seems to be very large and if it grows much bigger it may be inoperable (in the case that it's a tumor). We can usually identify the cause of these lumps within the time of an exam period, or soon thereafter, so it's well worth having her seen by a professional. Below is a link to an article that explains a few different causes of lumps in dogs. https://www.petcoach.co/article/lumps-and-bumps-on-your-pet/ I hope that helps and all is well with Zoey.
