Lumps always need a hands-on examination from a vet; good that you have already booked her in! They can come up rather quickly; yours is most likely a cyst and most likely benign or it is an abscess, which can also grow very quickly once they get going.

Any further steps (draining or removal op) depend on the diagnosis. We can help you with post-op and abscess care if you need it.
