Does this look like a hernia?

We just got a little chihuahua pup last week but today we noticed a lump near her genitals. We are getting her seen by our own vets but not till tomorrow and we are worried sick in the meantime. She is all well within herself but just wondering If you could have look at photo if you have an idea what it may be?

I understand you won't be able to say exactly what it is but am really worried it's something sinister. It's soft and squishy.

Looks too small to be a hernia, and it looks more like a sebaceous cyst or a lipoma to me. But I'm not a vet. If doggo doesn't appear to be in pain, take him to the vet on Monday. Hope it's nothing serious. Flowers

Sorry, take HER to the vet. Typo alert!

Thank you! We have her booked in for tomorrow so would rather just pay the weekend fee to get her seen to ASAP. I'm so worried

That looks like an inguinal hernia to me (veterinary nurse). They aren't usually serious and usually get repaired at the time of spaying.
