Why does my dog have a bump underneath her chest by her private area?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Without seeing Bella and feeling the lump it’s hard to say what it is. Dogs can get fatty lumps and cysts that are not serious but they can also get masses that are serious. I would take her to the vet when they open next so they can examine it closer. They may need to get a sample from the lump and look at it under a microscope for a better idea. Good luck and kisses to Bella!
