Lump on Doe's belly

[ZRab]

Today I went to breed back a doe and after checking her I noticed a lump on her belly. Now this lump is about the size of a quarter, or slighly larger. It isn't right at a nipple either kind of betwen two. The nips look fine. Curious as to what this could be and if I need to be concerned?

It could be an abscess. I wouldn't breed her until you sort it out. Can you post some pictures?

What Maggie suggested. It could easily be an abscess. If it is, it's in an area that could easily drain after it's lanced. Pics...before cutting.

You can trim the fur around it for better pix and also treatment.

Unfortunately she was bred before I noticed the lump. I am not familiar with an abscess. So I don't know how to treat one, if that is it. What causes this?
