Help, I am so worried about my girl.....:(

It sounds like a cist to me, from the description.
When you do get enough $, take her and get it checked out.
If it's a cist, it may go away on it's own.

If it is a cist, how long would it take to go away on it's own?

I am not a vet.
I just have a little experience (regarding cists) with my dogs and from reading about them a lot.
Nothing is better than a vet visit.
Beenie gets cists a lot around her neck.
They go away when she takes antibiotics.
Can you just call your vet and describe the problem and see if he'll prescribe something without seeing her.
That will definately be cheaper. If the problem doesn't go away with meds in 10-14 days, take her in asap.

I didn't ever think of CALLING the vet. I think I'll try that.

Good, let us know what they say.
Good thoughts for Jen.

Thanks, everyone. Especially you, beeniesmom. It has eased my worrying a little bit. ( especially her being a bit young for cancer )
