OK, both vets, that I would try, are closed. Only option is E-Vet, which means expensive. Now if you guys think I should go that route, I will. I will do anything for my boy. Do you think he needs e-vet, or just schedule a regular appt?

 

I'm thinking C less and less since the swelling is identical bi-laterally. He's eating VERY well, running, playing, no signs of not feeling well at all, except the swelling.

 

Bilaterally symmetrical swelling is actually less likely to be infection. Lymph nodes "drain" from certain areas of the body so it is unusual for an infection to cause equal swellings bilaterally. He'll need to get to the vet and if the glands are truly enlarged he will need to have them aspirated to determine if they could be cancerous.

 

Keep us posted once you get him in.
