Hi there and thanks for posting! It is hard to say what this mass may be without examining Mama first. Some masses are cause for alarm and others are not. In order to determine what it is, you’ll need to visit your veterinarian and get a small sample of the mass. Your veterinarian will then be able to determine whether or not it is concerning or needs to be removed. I hope this helps!
