This afternoon I was petting Illy and noticed a small lump by her ribs. It feels like a little ball and moves around. I'm not sure what to think of it. She is only 11 weeks old so I hope it's not something serious. What do you think? Should I call the vet?

Is it on the bottom of the rib cage, kinda in the center of the rib cage?

It's not attached to the ribs. It's like in the skin by the ribs I guess.

It's on the skin? Does it hurt or have redness?

I dont know if this is the same thing but Mason had a little lumpthat would move kinda by his ribs in the back..it was from his shots, It went away within a couple of weeks!

Remnants of a shot, maybe?

It is near where they gave her her shots. Hopefully that's all it is. Thank you!

Baby has a little lump there too. The vet said it was a litty cyst, and nothing to be worried about.
