| Bump on Yorkie's throat Today we found a two bumps on Chewie's throat, you can feel it halfway down his neck in the middle, two bumps, one on top of the other. He has been swallowing a lot lately and has been rubbing his throat on various this (people's legs, sides of furniture, etc.). He hasn't been acting sick (that I can tell at least). He still ruuuuns down the stairs to bark at people walking down the street, the UPS and mail truck. Anyone know what this is? Chewie is almost 3 years old and he hasn't had any health problems. He was neutered when he was 5 months, then a year later had a baby tooth removed (it never came out and the adult tooth grew right in next to it). Those are the only times he's had surgery. He takes hearworm and flea medication and has had his shots. Thanks! |

| Are the bumps on the skin or under the skin? If on the skin, what color are they? How big are the bumps?

| The bumps are under his skin, they feel like they are on his windpipe, or part of his windpipe. I'm not sure what to make of it. It is possible they could be lymph nodes, that is what they feel like to me. It sort of feels like an adam's apple, but not quite. Not sure if dogs even have those! They seem kind of elongated and go from right to left (horizontal or perpendicular to his front legs). I think it's just part of his throat, but my fiance was really concerned. |

| If in doubt, do to the VET. If under the skin and move around when you move the sjim, not serious. If under, and they are stationary, to the Bet. Heck, just go to the vet regardless. |
