Hi. Manny, it certainly could be a cyst or fatty
tumour, it sounds like it came up very quickly so I am thinking maybe an
abcess. A few months ago our Golden puppy Hannah had one under her jaw in the
neck area, she was put on antibiotics and it gradually dimished, but I have
notice lately that I can still feel something there but have decided to watch to
see if it grows, this doesn't bother her either. Sometimes they chew on things
like wood and a splinter can enter the skin and inbed itself causing some
inflammation, hers moved around easily but was quite solid to the touch, now the
"thing" isn't quite so symmetrical. I think that any lump that appears suddenly
should probably have an expert check it out, if it moves around easily and
doesn't seem attached then it is probably okay.

Subject: [pyrnet] Our Athena
Hi all, need some info. We
just noticed a hard lump on Athena?s upper check (it is the size of a
marble). Athena is a female 4 years of age. She exhibits no
symptoms of any sorts. We just finished taking her for a walk.
Could something have bitten her? She does not seem in pain.
Touching the lump does not seem to bother her. We thought of giving her
an aspirin. What do you all think. We tried looking inside her
check but see nothing.
Regards,
Manny
