Has she been being bred? If she has, how long has she been in with the male and have you witnessed any copulation? She could be beginning to develop swelling normally associated with being bred prior to ovulation but the swelling in your PIC doesn't look like the typical swelling associated with follicle development.

In my experience, ovulations typically last around 24 hours at most so you won't need to wait very long to see if that lump dissapates or smooths out. It is a rather odd looking ovulation if that is what it is. Odd in that the ovulations I've witnessed are less concentrated in one spot and are usually spread out over a longer section of the animal's body.
