It could be an abscess or a tumour. I'd take her to the vets. If its an abscess, it could maybe be lanced and she might need antibiotics.

Looks more like a tumour to me. Hopefully it'll be easy to sort.

It was a tumour, I took her in on monday morn and they stuck a needle in lump to check for puss etc and they got nothing so they operated straight away.
Shes fine now, scar seems massive cause shes so tiny.

Thanks for the replys. xx
