I'm concerned this mass could be cancerous and the swollen glands could be in response to that. You need to have Roxie seen by a vet for this first thing in the morning to get this checked out. Best of luck.

This is probably the mammary gland and the fat underneath, especially if she is completely fine and there are no other signs. Enlarged lymph nodes (inguinal) may be a possible differential as well. Unfortunately in this case a physical examination would be essential to determine more precisely the underlying cause. I would recommend a vet check up.
