just taken another look and have editied to say - is it actually a lump or does it look as though it is coming from inside?
Always be on the safe side - take her to the vet!
I agree, it looks and sounds like a prolapse, which for anyone who doesn't know, is where the womb hangs down outside the body, and is in effect inside out.

At least, it will be very uncomfotable for her and she will need it put back in and stitched.

Why not get her spayed? It is likely this has happened as a result of her pregnancies and if there are already lots of stray dogs where you live, why add to them? 3 pregnancies is more than enough for any bitch, it woudl be cruel to let her get pregnant again.
