Hi, um i have a problem.
I was just petting my dog and she let out a yelp when i tried to rub her tummy with my foot. when i tried again, i noticed a large hard lump just below her rib cage on the right side that kind of protrudes. I'm freaking out here because it's night time and we can't take her to a vet until morning. My sisters and i are somewhat panicking because we love this dog like a child. We rub her tummy a lot and it does not seem as though she could have had this lump for very long so it seems to have just developed over a day or two at the most. if anyone could help out about what it is it could be and what we should perhaps do to ease any pain she is experiencing until morning it'd be great.

A mammary tumor was the first thing I guessed. That was the same thing that killed my cat.

in case anyone was wondering... she was taken to the vet this morning and it turns out she has a breast tumour. surgery will be done on monday to see if its dangerous.
