IMG_3302IMG_3302I have seen another thread similar but i still wanted to see if someone knew what’s going on, we noticed today that it appeared and sadly I haven’t been home enough to know if she has been licking the area. (Please excuse the hair it’s been a bit rough on money)

Hello - I'm afraid that I can't see what I want to see here, so I'll talk you through some options.   A red bump in that place could be a polyp, a localised overgrowth of tissue that has been growing quietly on the inside for a while, and suddenly pops out.  Also on the outside, it could be a cancerous or a non-cancerous lump.  The picture on my phone isn't good and besides which, I'd want to check in person, to rule out a puppy or infection, placenta or prolapse leaving the womb.  Particularly in light of those latter options, but also because of the lining of the womb being on the outside, this does look like something that you might want to get triaged by an emergency vet.  Even if it is definitely lump close to the outside, excessive licking can be problematic - lead to inflammation and perforation - so pain releif and a collar may be in order.
