These lumps could be several things including a herniation or enlarged lymph nodes. Your vet will have to do an x-ray to see what is underneath the skin and possibly even an aspirate (taking sample from the underlying tissue) to confirm what this is. I do hope that you are able to get this investigated soon with your vet. If this is a hernia, then the vet may be able to tell what the structure/organ is that is herniated just from the x-ray. Best wishes and take care.
