Pet's info: Dog | Cockapoo | Female | spayed | 1 year and 3 months old | 23.2 lbs
This is on my 1 year old Cockapoo’s stomach closer to her chest. It doesn’t seem to bother her but I noticed it today after she got her stitches removed from exploratory surgery she had 10 days ago. This bump or lump is no where close to the incision area. What could this possibly be?

It's a little difficult to tell in your picture - it doesn't appear to be raised. If it is a flat area of redness and hair loss it could be a hot spot or superficial bacterial infection. If it is raised it could be a skin growth like a histiocytoma. I would recommend having your vet examine this lesion to determine for certain what it is.
