This could be a lipoma or fatty tumor, or potentially something like a hernia. I would recommend having your vet examine Romeo in person - they can likely determine whether or not a hernia is a concern by feeling the area. If they are concerned about a lipoma they might recommend taking a needle aspirate sample.
