When reading your post. I had to laugh.  You are so like me.  I am constantly picking at Cadence to see if I can find anything suspicious on her.  Cadence has a history of mass cell tumors, so that is the reasoning behind that.  One day had her rolled on her back and I found a suspicious looking bump on her.  It was towards the bottom of her stomach area.  Of course I freaked out.  I called the vet and made the appointment for the next day.  When we get there, Cadence rolls on her stomach, happy as can be, and I show the vet where the bump was.  The vet feels around for a second and then looks at me with this look on her face.  Im thinking oh @@@@.  With a straight face, she says to me,  " That my dear, is a nipple."  I wanted to crawl into the corner and just hide.  I laugh about it now, but I was horrified then.  Thankfully my vet has a sense of humor.

Im sure, like Jerry said, its just nothing.  It's good that you are going to the vet, it will help put your mind at ease.  I hope Jill is doing well and her recovery is going smoothly.  I hope the story made you laugh.
