Red Hard Lump found on Roxy!!
We found a Red Hard Lump on Roxy' belly right next to a nipple... Any ideas what it could be??
It's hairless.. and doesn't seem to be bothering her at all.. Her nose isn't warm and we haven't noticed any behavioral changes in her.

I would have a vet check it out. You don't mention Roxy's age or sexual status, or the size of the lump... better safe than sorry.

Didn't she recently have a litter of pups or did the breeding not take?
Regardless, take her to the vet as it could be many things & most of them require medical intervention.

I would take her to the vet, as the others have said.
It can be any number of things, from an insect bite or sting to a lipoma (a benign fatty tumor.)
The fact that it's red and hairless though seems more likely to be an irritation or sting than anything else. But it's good to get it checked out because sometimes malignancies can present as red colored lumps.
My advice: don't touch it and just get her to the vet as soon as you can.
It's likely something you can get treated easily and quickly, but the sooner you go, the better the outcome no matter WHAT it is.
