Thank you for submitting your question regarding Chevvy. I recommend that she sees a veterinarian if the mass is growing and changing. A disinfectant solution will likely be used to clean the scab off and see what is underneath. If it is a wound, then antibiotics may be needed. If there is a growth, her veterinarian will likely sample cells to evaluate under the microscope. I hope this information helps!
