I'm very sorry but the only advice we can give you is to have your vet check out the lump. Lumps are usually one of the following: * cyst * abscess * tumor - could be benign or malignant * hernia Your vet will be able to give you a better idea after they examine her and feel the bump. It is not an emergency. Just get her to your vet for an exam when you can schedule the appointment.
