I would recommend taking Tibbz to her vet to have the lump sampled. If it's an abscess it will need cleaned out and she'll likely need antibiotics. If it's a mass, it will need to be determined if surgery is required or not. I wouldn't consider this an emergency, but would try to have to seen before the weekend.
