ok, i can't speak from corgi experience, as one of my corgi's hasn't been spayed yet. but i can speak from the stand point of a human who has had 12+ surgeries.
i agree that it sounds right as this has happened to me. last year in june, they cut me open at 4 places, 2 on my spine & 1 on each hip. well everything healed well except one hip that had a hard knot. it was a undissolved stitch. it happens sometimes. it went away with time & hasn't been a problem since.
i hope i could comfort u a little but i doubt i helped
good luck & much love to ur corgi baby
YES, you're not alone. I went through this exact same thing a month ago when Ein got spayed. I took her in to vet and the technician looked at her in the lobby and said that it was perfectly normal. Like your vet, he said that it was the other layers of sutures and that they may have gotten irritated and swollen a bit. He said a damp warm compress on the area 3 times a day will help, and it did. I can still feel a tiny hard lump there, but that might be scar tissue now. I would only start to worry if it becomes sensitive to the touch and/or starts oozing. Those are signs of infection.

The same thing happened to me, after Rosie was spayed I noticed a lump under her incision. I took her to the vet and he said the same thing your vet said, that it was the sutures underneath. I noticed the lump on a Saturday and had to wait until Monday to contact the vet, I would never want to relive that weekend. =)
