Hello. My dog has a lump on her side that makes her look uneven from certain angles. She has also started to scoot recently. I’m getting really worried about her and am not really sure of whether I’m overreacting or not.

I'm sorry but without at least seeing a photo of the lump you are referring to I am afraid we can't be of much help. Since she has multiple problems I suggest you have her examined by your vet. I don't think you are overreacting. You know Daisy best so if you are worried you should have her checked out.
