My dog has a soft, painless swelling near her vulva. What is it?

Pet's info: Dog | Tibetan Terrier | Female | unspayed | 28.21 lbs

My dog has recently been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and on thyforon . She has last few days been off food . Tonight I found a swelling between vulva and leg . It is soft and does not hurt her . It might of been how she’s laid . I am going to vet tomorrow.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! This is likely unrelated to her hypothyroidism. It may be the site of an infection or inflammation. They may be able to confirm this tomorrow and start antibiotics as needed to make her feel better. Good luck!
