Hello, This new swelling appears to be very inflamed and painful. It could possibly be a local infection or a tumor. I recommend taking Mini to her veterinarian. They can best guide you on treatment based on her physical exam. I hope this is helpful. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
