I wish I had noticed this thread earlier. The same exact thing happened to Hanna when she was spayed and I was sure it was a hernia and panicked. It was on a weekend and I called the emergency vets (they told me to relax if she was eating, drinking, and pooping OK) It was a few very worried hours and a sleepless night for me.


I took her in Monday morning - same diagnosis as Mandy's. Boy, was I relieved!

The lump was gone by the time the stitches were taken out.
