I noticed a strange bump on Veruca's right side yesterday. It's about the size of a dime, above her stifle/hip area and doesn't involve the joint. I think it's in the soft tissue. The bump is round, mobile, and Veruca isn't bothered by it at all when I touch it or move it around. She is walking/running/jumping normally without interference from the bump.

Some background, Veruca is 1 yr 2 mos old, weighs ~4lbs. She has an appointment for her 1 yr booster shots at the end of the month. She uses Advantage multi for flea/worm protection. She goes outside 4-5x's/day for walks, but I didn't notice any ticks on her (but we're in S. FL so they're not so prevalent). She did bring one tiny ant in on her paw yesterday. Has anyone had strange bumps develop before?

Thanks for the advice!
