fliggie Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Could someone tell me what lymph nodes should feel like (soft, hard) and approximately what size they should be--specifically in the neck area? Thanks. Mary Ann Quote My Photojournal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4My2Greys Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 It's possible to feel the premandibular, which are located under the jaw. They shouldn't feel bigger than about pea sized. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fliggie Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Are there glands near the throat area, under the jaw? I'm sorry, I want to be sure I'm feeling what I think I'm feeling before I call the vet. Quote My Photojournal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Batmom Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 There's a good-sized salivary gland @ at the join of head and neck -- size of large marble.

fliggie Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 We have a vet appointment for Friday, better safe than sorry. He seemed to have a hard lump about the size of a small walnut...but I have no idea what I'm feeling. He also has a very small lump, hard, but contained in his skin, on his side. He is aging and I take him every six months anyway, just to check his weight and look at the bumps and things that seem to develop as they age. Time to look again, I guess. He also sounds congested when he breathes lately, at least sometimes...and I noticed the other day, the boy whose weight I have to diligently stay on top of seems to be thinning out...so I want to get his weight on the vet scale, too. Hard to watch them age. Thank you. Mary Ann Quote My Photojournal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
