I would guess that this lump might be scar tissue or a suture reaction, however sometimes a lump can form when there is an infection or even a problem with the internal incision. I would recommend having your vet examine Neyro's incision. If there is discharge tonight or if Neyro is painful it would be a good idea to have her examined by an emergency vet.
