Good news! The vet said that the lump is not a lymph node or connected with her having shots or anything. It's entirely in the soft tissue and moves freely. He said that a lot of times small dogs running around can "clip" a door or a table or stool and catch that area and cause a little lump or knot that is an internal bruise or possibly scar tissue. Lucy injured that same leg when she was about 4 months old but he doesn't think it has anything to do with it.

He wants me to watch it for 10 days and if it doesn't go down on its own he will remove it. He said it's not cancerous or anything dangerous, probably a cyst and that removing it will take only a few minutes. He didn't want to do it unless absolutely necessary because he doesn't like to put them to sleep unless there's no other choice.

Thanks, everybody, I feel much better now!
