Hello, Any new growth or lumps could be due to a local infection, cyst, or tumor growth. If the lump is tumor growth, a biopsy would be the only way to determine the type and treatment. I would recommend taking Luna Grace into her veterinarian. They can guide you on the most likely cause of the growth after performing a physical exam. I hope this is helpful.
