Without knowing the cause/type of the lumps, it would be hard to give advice. The best first step is to have one or some of the lumps aspirated to see if they are something benign such as a lipoma (which you can just keep an eye on), or something that may need to be removed that you can then try to save up for, or see if your local humane society/vet hospital offers assistance to low income clients for. Depending on what the lumps are, treatment will vary. These sites may also help in case you need to get Bella in sooner, or pay for surgery: https://www.humanesociety.org/resources/are-you-having-trouble-affording-your-pet https://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/
